By Dennis Wittrock and originally published on holacracy.org This article describes how startups can better respond to the need for more organizational structure by knowing real alternatives to conventional hierarchy, and when to make a deliberate operating system change. For most startups, there are obvious stages in their development where fundamental decisions need to be made. In the beginning, founders may meet at university or get together with friends to explore a business idea. After a period of experimentation, those who do not fail in the early stages (which is most startups) will reach a stage where the product-market fit

Some years ago, I read Frederic Laloux’s book Reinventing-Organizations. When I read Teal Trust Transparency, it became an important supplement and gave me several new perspectives.

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

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.

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.
