The Future of Corporations

The Recharge Magazine is still very much on sale. The theme of this first edition is Intrapreneurship and it’s been great so far. The company website has however chosen a bad time to be down, hence the best avenue for sending emails on interest now is to send to deoluakinyemi@gmail.com.

One of the Lead articles in this edition covered the topic, the future of corporations. Companies are going to change in the near future, the way value is added will change and consequently the way work is done. New skills will be required from tomorrows business executives, a different approach to work will make some type of people in higher demand. Some of us are making concious efforts today to prepare ourselves and also others for these skills that will become so essential in the future. This edition is a must read for forward thinking employees. Here are some “sound” bites from the magazine.

Expressed differently, what will matter about your business/company tomorrow is the experience that they buyer has obtaining products or services from you, and in another few years what will vital is the transformation that is delivered. Business will migrate from product to service to customers becoming the product.]

[One of the key things that will change is the competencies that will be required to succeed as a company in the future. In a creative organization the skills that are required for success are much different from operating in a competitive environment. In a creative organization, innovation will gain value over technical mastery; risk taking will take value over management; networking will become more important that capacity and capability. Managers will be replaced by Intrapreneurs! ]

[A few of the competencies of an intrapreneur that makes him/her relevant to future business are as follows.
