Underwear, Clocks, and Companies: How to Change When You Must

Coworkation In Italyorganizationalmodel

Organizational change is merely individual change carried out at scale. And like the changes we carry out as individuals, organizational change can vary between overwhelming, tedious, and refreshing.

The Efficiency Paradox

Coworkation In Italyorganizationalmodel

What is efficiency? It is a term that everyone uses, but very few understand. I would argue that 98% of all organizations have an incorrect understanding of what “true” efficiency really is. We tend to over focus on individual and functional performance. We think that efficient “islands” is a good thing. The more we deliver the better! The problem is that research shows the exact opposite! The more we try to squeeze out from the different islands within our organization, the more inefficient the organization will be! So what is the conclusion? Being “busy” is BAD! We call this the […]

Minimum Viable Organisation

Coworkation In Italyorganizationalmodel

How much structure is enough in the quest for a healthy organisation? Some say all management is waste, is that true? Agile equals flat structures but how flat? Agile methods and teaching promote much flatter organisations, much more focus on the team and less management control or interference. Taking some methods and writing literally we might believe that there is no need for management in agile organisations. Is that true, can it be achieved, should it?

How self organization happens and why you can trust it

One is a kind of unlearning– we unlearn the old social conditioning, and re-connect with our natural human enthusiasm for being together. There is an evolutionary dynamic underlying the complex processes of human relating. This is the basis of self-organization that we can trust. There is also the challenge for us to become more than we have been before. This is part of the adventure and never ending story that emerges as we build trust […]

Teal shade of Agile by Tobias Mayer

Coworkation In Italyorganizationalmodel

The term “Teal” to describe the next stage of corporate evolution was proposed by Frederic Laloux in his book, Reinventing Organizations. A Teal organisation is considered an organic, living entity, unlike most corporations today which can best be described as mechanical in both intent and execution. But those of us embedded in the Agile community know that this concept is not new, indeed we have been striving for the release of control and the promotion of nurture for many years now. Is Teal then just a reinvention of the Agile wheel? Yes and No. Laloux offers three simple, yet powerful […]
