Fundamentally Altering Organisation Structure

Arun Maira, formerly of  the BCG wrote book Redesigning the Aeroplane While Flying. According to him, institutions are not merely organisation with hierarchies and budgets. They are also processes by which socities perform functions. These also include norms by which the socities coduct themselves. Therefore, institutioal reform cannot be achieved only by redrawing organisational charts or creating new organisations with old templates. We cannot merely redesign the seats in the aeroplane when it is expected to fly out of the atmosphere into space. We have to change its structure more fundamentally.
