Notice noticed. We've only had good experiences with Zappos, I hope they're on to something.

History lists many companies that changed their operating culture. Only a minority work out. But the few can become some of the most productive organizations. Bell Labs was but one example.
Chiat/Day, famous for the Apple Superbowl commercials, changed how they do business. They even created virtual offices for employees who would infrequently visit the office. That experiment was disastrous for what made Chiat/Day so successful. No longer did the most productive meetings (people accidentally encounter each other in the hall) occur. Such structures can result in innovation at the innovative layer - major tactical advantages. But may create corporate harm due to an undefined strategic objective and a missing 'attitude and knowledge'. |
