SUMMARY:Self-Managed Organisations: Giving power to our people (London Book Fair Event)
DESCRIPTION:A conversation about how publishing is adapting for the future.\nFor many\, the way organisations are managed has not kept pace with the evolution of work or demographic changes. And now\, with the pandemic\, these changes have accelerated even further. \n\nPeople no longer want to limit the use of their personal skills and squeeze into roles defined by others.\nThe myth that sitting at your desk 40 hours a week proves your value has been busted.\nTeams are tired of wearing artificial social masks to fit into the corporate culture.\n\n  \nBut what are the solutions to these corporate and cultural changes? \n  \nProponents of self-managed organisations have a simple idea: that leaders should focus on making space for their teams to generate ideas; and where they support their team’s growth rather than adopting the traditional command and control approach. So how does publishing fit into this brave new corporate world? \n  \nJoin us and a panel of publishing leaders at The London Book Fair (Olympia Room) on Wednesday 6th April\, 2022 from 2:30 to 3:15pm BST for an in-conversation event to mark the launch of the BookMachine Self-Managed Organisations white paper. \n  \nThe speakers will consider what self-managed organisations are and what the rise of them means for the publishing industry. They will share their own experiences of evolving management structures and how they’ve stayed relevant over the past few years. And most importantly\, they will discuss how the sector can adapt for a successful future. \n  \nSeats will be first-come\, first-served. If you would like to reserve a seat at the panel\, please register for a free spot by signing up above and we will make sure a seat is saved for you. Looking forward to seeing you there! \n  \nIf you are a BookMachine member\, you get 50% off your visitor pass to LBF.

She believes strongly in the value and importance of publishing evidence-informed content that can contribute to positive social\, environmental and cultural change.
