How Libraries Can Survive

I had the pleasure of listening to Steve Denning at the Computers in Libraries conference last month. This recent article nicely recaps Steve's presentation. The most compelling bit of advice he gave us was this: if the organizational structure is bureaucratic, we can't be innovative. If you think about it, that's really true. Decisions take too long. We need to be nimble.
Our organizational chart continues to evolve to support the strategic plan goals, which is essential- we have to reallocate resources toward the goals. Now let's think about how we can realign toward a more horizontal chart, with shared responsibilities and more empowerment at every level.
