Cisco is transitioning to a more networked organizational structure focused on strategic initiatives, business problems, and shared technologies, rather than a traditional management hierarchy. This will likely make decision making more collaborative. Cisco has found that ROI from collaboration increases as organizations move through three steps of productivity. They have also launched initiatives like the I-Prize competition and an internal innovation wiki to harness the power of crowdsourcing ideas. Going forward, Cisco plans to expand into new areas like home telepresence systems and using their technologies to create smarter connected communities.

Web2.0 organisation?

2. How is its decision making likely to change as
it re-structures itself away from a traditional
management hierarchy to a network structure
that is focused on new strategic initiatives,
specific business problems and common
technology themes?
