As Managing Director of the photocopying company Rank Xerox since 1989, Bernard Fournier has worked towards changing the organisational structure of the company into self contained groups. The approach has proved profitable, with returns of 616 million pounds sterling in 1995. Fournier advocates an open space working environment which he finds very productive in encouraging team co-operation and interaction.
