The Harvard Business School case likewise dates the transformation to April 2005 , when Nayar became President, describing him as recognizing that HCL needed drastic change and then leading the first phase of the transformation. The architecture that subsequently emerged was remarkably coherent: 1. Mirror Mirror — confront reality Establish Point A honestly and create a compelling Point B. 2. Trust through Transparency — change information architecture Open financial and organizational information much more widely. 3. Invert the Pyramid — change accountability architecture Make enabling functions and management accountable to employees in the customer-facing “value zone.” 4. Recast the Office of the CEO — change power architecture Move responsibility for transformation away from the CEO and toward employees themselves.  That is already a fairly sophisticated OD architecture , even if Nayar didn't necessarily sit down and call it an “OD model.” And then came concrete mecha...

  Diversity is about #different #perspectives Simon Sinek says, different perspectives with same set of common values and goals will thrive. He says, he would rather hire someone who has no idea about that job and then this person brings whole new perspective..

Are they everywhere from Elon Musk led firms to Uber and other strong performing-inventive companies everyone loves?  What happened when an ex Uber staff blew the lid on the Toxic bro-culture at Uber?  Have all Meta, Google, Microsoft, Oracle and Apple not been using that jerk - bro - asshole culture to create a maverik firm, only to be assuaged by nanny CEOs/COOs like they had from time to time?  Cover up can be through a Lean-In diversity-women-woke agenda and tons of PR by buying a GPTW badge! Every Misogynistic, toxic company had a GPTW badge!
