Major overhauls are avoided because the organization flexibly adapts to changing demands. Accountabilities within each team are precisely defined. Clear contracts with clients and each other become the normal way of doing business. People deliver results, not tasks. People continually seek to improve, since efficiencies and innovations keep them competitive.
Quality is the natural outcome when small groups are responsible for every aspect of each product.
In summary, in a healthy organization, everyone feels empowered, and the organizational environment brings out the best in people. Effective teamwork across boundaries is the normal way of doing business. And the organization automatically and flexibly adapts to a rapidly changing world. The best way to effect such dramatic change is to involve people in the design of the new organization. Participation taps people's detailed knowledge of the way the organization works, ensures their understanding of new behaviors and perspectives, and builds their commitment to change.
