Decentralisation has long been a property strategy to expand a company’s global footprint and to scale with ease. Johnson & Johnson, for example, is famous for its decentralised business model<\/a>, which involves more than 200 units that function independently but frequently collaborate with other autonomous teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the pandemic, though, decentralisation wasn’t a term used often – and it wasn’t a model that many organisations seriously considered adopting. But when companies in all industries across the globe needed to quickly de-densify their workspaces to protect employees from the threat of COVID-19, decentralisation became a go-to strategy. In many cases, this meant sending a large number of employees home to work, which, as it turns out, isn’t ideal – at least not for the long term<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
