As enterprises invest in the intellectual capital of their workforces, they have asked employees to step up to a new level of accountability for the enterprise. As they "open the books", teaching the financial and process and customer measures that ensure success, leaders have invited employees to participate in making the organization work.

If today's leaders use 20th century command and control management styles after they make this invitation, employees think -- no, they know -- that the invitation to think at a higher level is really a kind of bad joke, as Dilbert reminds us.

SKA teaches the mindset and provides the models and key practices that can make the invitation to employee empowerment real and lasting. Through its pioneering work in open-book leadership, its two books on open-book management written by its partners, and experience across many industries SKA can help any enterprise that wants to empower its employees with a set of leadership practices that constitute real and lasting change.
