Overview: This paper draws three broad conclusions about the diversity of practice in organizations today, the process of transformation, and the leverage associated with broader assumptions on work and organizations. First, the differences between the two organizational models outlined at the outset of this paper are reflected in organizational practices today, where organizations are seen to be positioned at various points along the continua characterizing these two organizational models. Second, there is no guarantee that such a transformation process will continue or succeed. It is not guided by some invisible hand or market imperative. Third, it has outlined a broader set of assumptions about work and organizations that represent a powerful set of levers for transformation.
