About MIX Prize
The Management Innovation eXchange (MIX) is an open innovation project aimed at reinventing management for the 21st century. The MIX is based on the premise that management is nothing less than the technology of human accomplishment and that, after 100 years of incremental tweaks, it now needs to be reinvented for a new age. Designed as an open innovation and collaborative platform, the MIX brings together the most progressive leaders and provocative management thinkers with in-the-trenches management innovators-indeed, anyone with ideas and approaches to making our organizations resilient, inventive and inspiring enough to thrive in the 21st century.
Current management practices emphasize control, discipline and efficiency above all else - and that's a problem. To thrive in the 21st century, organizations must be adaptable, innovative, inspiring and socially accountable. That will require a genuine revolution in management principles and practices.
The MIX helps to accelerate the pace of management innovation by energizing and organizing the conversation around the most critical challenges facing managers today - and by providing a practical platform where they can document, share and develop their leading-edge ideas and practices.
The MIX is designed for all those who are frustrated by the limits of our legacy management practices. It's for all the inspired thinkers and radical doers who believe we can - and must - find alternatives to the bureaucratic and disempowering management practices that still rule most organizations.
The MIX Prize culminates in the Management Innovator of the Year award, the grand HBR/McKinsey M-Prize, which is announced at the end of three legs.
