#matrixstructures — Public Fediverse posts

Here @nielspflaeging contrasts #AgileScaling, the so-called #SpotifyModel and #orgdesign approaches with #BetaCodex and decentralization! (Highlight from the #5YearsOfOpenSpaceBeta anniversary event)

#OrgDesign and #OrgDev stuff that does not work and cannot work:
#MatrixStructures
#SpotifyModel
#BusinessUnits
#profitcenters
#Sociocracy
#holacracy
#AgileScaling (including #SAFe, #Unfix, LeSS, SaS)
#OKRs
#SharedServices

What works:
#CellStructureDesign
Why? Because, different than all others, it "gets" #decentralization

#betacodex

Companies should not be #flatter: In "flat", the logic of top-down/bottom-up and hierarchical #steering is preserved.
Instead, organizations must become #decentralized & #federative, in order to counter market complexity with internal complexity, effectively! (Which is why #MatrixStructures, business unit structures, #AgileScaling or the #SpotifyModel got it all wrong.)

The names of organizational tools change all the time. Worse: #ZombieTools get re-launched under new names:

Horrific #MbO got rebranded as #OKRs, for instance.

Committees and soviet-style technocracy got remade into #sociocracy and #holacracy.

The abominable #MatrixStructures got relaunched under the disguise of #SpotifyModel, #SAFe and other #scalingframeworks like #unifx.

It is understandable that people get mesmerized by tools. But remember:
