How a U.S. Health Care System Uses 15-Minute Huddles to Keep 23 Hospitals Aligned. Executive Summary A core challenge of management is to ensure that the organization’s priorities, strategies, and metrics are consistently embraced and that any impediments are identified and addressed quickly.

How a U.S. Health Care System Uses 15-Minute Huddles to Keep 23 Hospitals Aligned

At Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Healthcare, ensuring the alignment of all these things to provide extraordinary care requires a constant regimented focus across its 23 hospitals, 170 clinics, and 850,000-member health insurance plan. To achieve that, it has implemented a model of daily huddles on an extensive scale. In this article, Intermountain’s CEO shares the insights gleaned from the model’s first full year of operation that organizations in health care and many other industries will find useful. A core challenge of management is to ensure that the organization’s priorities, strategies, and metrics are consistently embraced and that any impediments are identified and addressed quickly.

A Better Way to Test Objections in Holacracy® – Chris Cowan, EdD., MDiv. Putting humans - not roles - front and centre in modern organisations. Self-managing organisations are a huge leap forward from traditional management hierarchy.

Putting humans - not roles - front and centre in modern organisations

Yet there’s a trend to think of self-managing organisations as collections of roles. In this view, humans are something secondary: holders of roles. It’s mechanical rather than human and it’s possible to do better. Instead you can work with a far more natural, human creative process. And ensure success by prioritising self-development over organisational processes. Complexity Demands New Approaches to Work. The workplace is in massive flux.

Complexity Demands New Approaches to Work

Daily headlines dramatize the impact of technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and blockchain on virtually every aspect of how we work and live. Competition for talent, globalism, complexity, and the accelerating pace of change are conspiring to disrupt how we work. Social sector organizations focus primarily on the interventions that drive their approach to complex systems transformation—what they do to create a better world.

But they also must consider whether their internal operating system—how they work—is serving them, their clients, and their pursuit of social impact. Many organizations are stuck in antiquated structures that impede rather than enable employees to bring their best selves to work. Nonprofits have adopted business practices for decades to professionalize and improve accountability. Culture Doesn’t Come Later – NOBL. Sociocracy 3.0.

The five trademarks of agile organizations

They integrate their deep experience and thought leadership to extract the best from McKinsey’s global experience as it helps organizations transform themselves into agile organizations. Our experience and research demonstrate that successful agile organizations consistently exhibit the five trademarks described in this article. The trademarks include a network of teams within a people-centered culture that operates in rapid learning and fast decision cycles which are enabled by technology, and a common purpose that co-creates value for all stakeholders. Dan Pallotta: The way we think about charity is dead wrong. We are wired to raise children in community – Frederic Laloux. In the West, a grand experiment has been unfolding over the last one hundred years.

We are wired to raise children in community – Frederic Laloux

For thousands of years, humans had been deeply embedded within a broader net of community life — fitted within the spheres of family, social class, faith, and work. But then we shed community and embraced the nuclear family as the container for our lives. We believed this small, isolated structure would allow us to create the lives we really wanted, unencumbered by the demands of extended families, meddling neighbors, and social pressures to conform. The demands of the collective gave way to the liberation of the individual as, at the turn of the twentieth century, rural dwellers piled into crowded cities seeking jobs. By mid-century, a post war economy made a new exodus possible, and life in the suburbs became the new ideal. More recently, hip urban centers with lively cafés, cool cultural centers, and app-reviewable restaurants have captured our collective imagination as the best place to live.

Resolving the awkward paradox in Frederic Laloux’s Reinventing Organisations

This article has been shared widely in the Reinventing Organisations community. I have made a few small revisions, and added comments directly from Frederic at the end. The confession Over dinner earlier this year, I confessed to Frederic Laloux that his best-selling book Reinventing Organisations was the very best business book I’d ever read that I couldn’t quite bring myself to recommend to others. How to create an agile organization. Transforming companies to achieve organizational agility is in its early days but already yielding positive returns.

How to create an agile organization

While the paths can vary, survey findings suggest how to start. Rapid changes in competition, demand, technology, and regulations have made it more important than ever for organizations to be able to respond and adapt quickly. But according to a recent McKinsey Global Survey, organizational agility—the ability to quickly reconfigure strategy, structure, processes, people, and technology toward value-creating and value-protecting opportunities—is elusive for most. Many respondents say their companies have not yet fully implemented agile ways of working, either company-wide or in the performance units where they work, though the advantages are clear. Respondents in agile units report better performance than all others do, and companies in more volatile or uncertain environments are more likely than others to be pursuing agile transformations.

The Evolution of the Theory of Evolution. Darwinism and the Paradox of Altruism During the mid 1800s Charles Darwin upended both the scientific and religious worlds by releasing his seminal theory on biological evolution. Darwinism states that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual’s ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. You Can’t Manage Complexity - Enlivening Edge. By Jon Freeman for Enlivening Edge Magazine Let’s make it clear from the start. You can’t “manage” complexity, and we will only begin to step into a second-tier world when we stop trying. The idea of managing organisational complexity has a long and deep history, with theories ranging from Bateson/Wiener/von Neumann Cybernetics [i] through Russell Ackoff [ii] Systems Thinking to McMaster’s iCAS [iii] (intelligent Complex Adaptive systems).

All of them are brilliant and none of them will deal with today’s levels of complexity. Nor were they truly sufficient to deal with yesterday’s. HolaSpirit - Application for Holacracy and teal organizations. Does Holacracy Have Blind Spots? – encode.org – Medium. All of the previous points are in no way meant to deny the tremendous value that Holacracy brought into the world by decentralizing authority and enabling self-organization in pursuit of organizational purpose.

Rather, we at encode.org perceive them as natural evolutionary tensions that come to the foreground with a mature practice of Holacracy: differentiating the organization from the people. The impulse that gave rise to encode.org is the curiosity to explore what’s next and to address the lingering tensions of self-organization from a higher vantage point. How the For-Purpose Enterprise Can Help We have developed and implemented the model of the For-Purpose Enterprise as a response to fill some of the legal, financial, and social gaps that companies using Holacracy (or other rulesets of self-organization) are facing.
