Leaders of any ilk are struggling. Society is awash with new technologies, employees want to be included in the discussion, the conversations, the decisions, and management is stuck sorting out how teams and organizations should actually operate in this new flat yet technologically social world order. Human Resources have become a group out of touch with the technology, Finance continues to operate in a silo from the rest of the organization, IT is tripping over both antiquated and newer technologies while displaying difficulties to adjust to a more collaborative behavioral model. Most importantly, employees are becoming significantly more disengaged.

Does any of this sound familiar?

There is no easy way to undo what years and even decades of management practice have done to us. The process has to start with the leadership in any organization, and Flat Army is designed to provide insight into cultural change. The key components of this change are deploying a Connected Leader mindset, Participative Leader Framework and Collaborative Leader Action Model, coupled by Pervasive Learning and Collaborative Technology models; and being a visible leader who demonstrates the necessary capabilities to embrace change and realize the opportunities change represents.

Challenge yourself. Challenge the status quo. Flat Army pushes the boundaries of organization change. It can change yours.
