Augmented reality broadens our vision of everyday life, so couldn’t the same be achieved for senior managers as they face growing complexity both within and beyond their company? Just as a Smartphone can be made smarter by downloading apps, shouldn’it be possible for managers to work smarter by being equipped with a few smart tools ? This short essay by an expert in corporate organization suggests ways in which 21st-century managers can «augment» their vision of management – and encourage the growth of those they manage.
