Abstract
In an article published in Management Services Journal
almost 25 years ago, the reported results of an industry
study concluded that for most organisations, improvement
initiatives and interventions had failed, wholly or partially, to deliver on their promise. One wonders if the results would be the same today? After reading the article once again, the problems of some of today’s businesses seem to have changed very little. But arguably, the future will be very different. Moreover, the role of management services and our practitioner skills will be in much greater need.
Saying that, what will the future be recognised for? Can we
predict with any confidence the next generation’s needs – the alpha-beta generations? How will society, business and commerce change from that of today? What are the likely scenarios?
