Investors have learned that the market value of a firm goes beyond tangible earnings. Indeed, reported earnings, cash flow, and profitability have been found to predict about 50% of a firm’s market value.
Seeking lead indicators for tangible and intangible results may come from identifying how organizations operate. Traditionally, the concept of “organization” was a pyramid or hierarchy with an internal focus where clear roles, rules, and routines clarified who does what work when and how. But in today’s fast-changing, technology-enabled work, organizations need to be able to change or they die .
But how does an organization go about reinventing itself? We have studied and crystalized the best elements from some of today’s nimblest and fastest-growing big companies, including Amazon.com AMZN, +0.63% , Facebook FB, +0.45% , and Alphabet GOOGL, -0.50% in the U.S.; Alibaba Group Holding BABA, +1.04%, Huawei Technologies, and Tencent Holdings in China 700, +1.28% , and Tencent subsidiary Supercell in Europe.
