FUTURE-PROOF LEADERSHIP: THE POWER OF RECONFIGURABLE ORGANIZATIONS

This paper synthesizes theoretical concepts and empirical studies to investigate the essential characteristics of contemporary organizations that can survive and thrive in discontinuous environments. Drawing on the model of reconfigurable organizations proposed by Galbraith et al. (2002), the study identifies key enablers of adaptability and resilience, including active leadership, knowledge management, continuous learning, flexibility, integration, employee commitment, and change readiness. By illustrating how these elements contribute to the design of a reconfigurable organizational structure, the paper highlights the significance of strategic resource redeployment in the ongoing redesign of processes and structures. These insights emphasize the critical role of these characteristics in fostering organizations that can dynamically adjust to ever-changing conditions, ensuring long-term sustainability and success
