In reply to Simon Bostock.

@Donald said only half in jest!
@Leandro if you need to innovate, you can't rely on management to clear the path. Dealing with complex problems requires faster feedback loops, which goes against hierarchies & control. To misquote an old socialist, "Knowledge workers of the world, Collaborate! You have nothing to lose but your Managers"
@Simon I think that L&D, KM, OD, HR, IT, etc. had better learn how to integrate and play well together or they may all become redundant.
