Why do we need a new way to organise?

The hierarchical organisation has served businesses well for over two centuries but the assumptions upon which it is founded are no longer true. Consider the statements below;
The more senior person does not always have more experience. Reporting lines can easily be substituted for by new technology which allows more people to co-ordinate their activities rather than rely on 1:1 boss subordinate co-ordination.  Complex problems can only be solved by cross functional and integrated working which is non-hierarchical.  The customer or supplier is no longer 'outside' the business.  Projects must co-exist with processes.

If you still don't get it consider the following odd-one-out quiz.  Which is the odd one out?

1.  Power a formula one car with a steam engine
2.  Run an iphone using old TV valve technology
3. Manage a global manufacturing business using telegraph messages
4 Organise a 21st century business using a more than a hundred year old structure
