Sumario: | Our world is increasingly digital and decentralized. We must therefore urgently rethink, structurally and operationally, how organizations are designed so they can adapt and compete in the digital age. This starts by understanding the problems raised by complexity.

We can find a suitable organizational structure if we look at the fundamental elements that make up the work of an organization.
