1 Comment On: Are CEOs Getting the Best From Corporate Functions?
As a follow up to this article, I have been doing some work with companies that review their corporate functions annually or at least regularly. I have realized that it is difficult to get these reviews to work well, so I am interested in any other companies that have experience of this. Those who are interested may want to join my organization design course (www.ashridge.org.uk/aod) or my corporate strategy course (www.ashridge.org.uk/gls).
