The Forbes Global 2000 includes 1,998 of the world&#8217;s largest listed companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What emerged was surprisingly simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across dozens of industries and countries, a relatively small number of organizational patterns explain most of how large companies:<br> \u2003 \u2022 coordinate execution<br> \u2003 \u2022 set leadership priorities<br> \u2003 \u2022 pursue transformation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The takeaways<\/strong><br>\u2003 \u2022 10 organizational models explain most Forbes 2000 companies.<br>\u2003\n\u2022 5 leadership priorities explain most leadership agendas.<br>\u2003\n\u2022 10 transformation themes explain most transformation programs.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.
