     Summary

Based on their international consulting experience, the authors offer a new, pragmatic and achievable strategy for creating company success. This approach to Zero Space applies t both globally-oriented multinational companies and small- and medium-sized enterprises. Companies can mix the eight key features of Zero Space into an approach that suits them and their business needs best. CEOs, managers and consultants need to let go of the restricting, preconceived ideas that were dominant in the industrial economy, emptying their minds of barriers. Just as organizations will have to exist in less tangible, less prescribed forms, so will thinking have to become less departmentalized, less closely guarded. This “zero mind-set” targets knowledge so that an organization applies it when and where it is really needed. The authors show how to create a zero-space organization: a value-adding, quick-reacting, wise, non-centralized, non-standardized, innovation-generating workplace for dedicated talent.
