Possible? Perhaps, but why would anyone or any company want to adopt outdated 16th and 17th century based mechanistic, linear, command and control management models in a 21st century, complex, chaotic, interconnected, interdependent, self-organizing world?

There were benefits realized from the mechanistic industrial mindset but the realities of our 21st century world require a new way of thinking, seeing and acting. The opportunities and challenges businesses and humanity as a whole face cannot be successfully addressed with mechanistic approaches.

There is a growing awareness of new thinking, new approaches, new management models that are more suited for our times. It is far more advantageous to study and apply new models that recognize, embrace and address the realities faced in today’s world.

Why would anyone desire to apply mangement models that are 400 years old and out-of-date?
