Boundaryless Organizations: What are they and do they matter in 2024?

Boundaryless Organizations: What are they and do they matter in 2024?

The term “boundary less organization” comes from a 1995 book (since updated multiple times) which argued that organizations were, in a sense, constrained by notions such as hierarchy, geography, and physical structure. The authors, partners at a consulting firm, wanted organizations to focus on a free flow of information instead of any internal politics or other factors. The timing of the book is interesting, because Google -- also predicated on a free flow of information -- would be founded in a Northern California garage just the next year.

Beyond agile working: This is the future of high-performing teams, according to the CTO of Semantic

In Snowbird, Utah, in a small resort nestled in the mountains just east of Salt Lake City, a conference gathered together in 2000 made up of the senior software engineers and architects from a number of development companies, driven by a shared set of problems that they had found that were endemic to their operations. Their belief was, at the time, that software development processes had stagnated because building software was treated the same way as the construction of an aircraft carrier or a massive convention center.
