By Claudia Gross and Frank Spencer from Claudia’s emailed Life at Work // Weekly September 21, 2023 and viewable here. The move from VUCA to BANI expresses an evolution: The world is not only volatile, it’s brittle. People aren’t uncertain, they’re anxious. Life is not complex, it’s non-linear. Ambiguous is gone – the experiences are incomprehensible. Stephan Grabmeier has visualized the comparison between VUCA and BANI in a brilliant way. He also wrote about it more extensively – choose your medium: infographic or article. These three visuals show you the developments in a few words: from VUCA to VUCA, from VUCA to BANI and from BANI to BANI. When

By Joost Minnaar and originally published on corporate rebels So, I recently came across an old tweet of Jurgen Appelo, in which he asks: “Apart from Holacracy, the “Spotify model” and Liquid Organization, what other frameworks/models do you know for adaptable org structures?” It made me reflect on all the different “adaptable organizational structures” we’ve come across over the last years. Here is the (not so exhaustive) list I managed to come up with…. for now. 10 Progressive Organizational Structures (and Their Companies) To keep things a bit more manageable, I’ve only listed the progressive organizational structures that are rooted

By Ted Rau and originally published in an email, a press release, and on LinkedIn.com In four weeks, Sociocracy for All will be ready to publish a new book that I wrote. The book will be called Collective Power. Patterns for A Self-organized Future. What “Collective Power” is The intention of the book is to show the underlying patterns of collaboration in groups. The better we understand the patterns of cooperation, the better we can design systems where humans thrive. Those conceptual parts are intermixed with stories. People often say, “This was a great training, but the stories you tell

By Lead Together The Book and originally published on YouTube Work needs to be done. A team member agrees to do that work. On the surface, it’s simply matchmaking skills to needs. The reality of organizational productivity is far more complex: Work goes undone. People fail to meet expectations. Task boredom sets in. Career aspirations require tending and don’t always align with business needs. Leading can feel as if you’re trying to assemble a puzzle in which both the picture and the shape of the pieces keep changing. In this video, Lead Together co-authors Brent Lowe, Susan Basterfield and Travis Marsh share insights

By Sally McCutchion and originally published on medium.com About 18 months ago, I joined the Greaterthan ecosystem and it’s been a real pleasure collaborating, conspiring and connecting with a bunch of folk from around the world who do work that’s connected to what I do. One of the more recent conversations I had with my Greaterthan colleague Lyssa Adkins, was connected to the principles of role mapping. This is a key part of the Holacracy practice so it’s been in my toolkit for almost 10 years now. However, the way that I introduce this process to companies and the benefits that it brings is

By Frederic Laloux and originally published at thejourney.reinventingorganizations.com Frederic Laloux looks at the work of Coaches, Consultants and Facilitators. Do organizations moving to “Teal” still work with consultants? Or do they just need coaches and figure the rest out by themselves? Interestingly, the kind of support I’ve seen various organizations need seems to be quite similar across the board. 12 mins 52 secs Comment guidelines (for original site of publication) My hope is for the comments below the video to surface our collective wisdom on the topic. This could enrich the videos tremendously. Have you experienced something similar in
