#organizationaldevelopment — Public Fediverse posts

Work–Feedback Loop v2.0 is here.

What changed: Feedback needs a reference point: the guiding intent. Without it, no comparison. Without comparison, no learning.

Also: no more formulas, but a running example throughout. Clearer, more tangible, more consistent.

„Instead of mining fields like Organizational Development, systems theory, business sciences, contemporary social psychology and constructivism for practical theory, agilists have tried to come up with their own , falling for profoundly flawed concepts like “cynefin”, or betting on bizarrely misguided tools around organizational intervention, in the shape of agile scaling frameworks, or “team topologies”, to just name two fads of recent years.“

Tbh, so tired if all this half-baked models somebody put in the Scrum Training slides in 1991: Stacy-Model, shu ha ri, Five disfunctions..
Complex Org Change: All you need is „a coaching stance“, no need for theory and case studies of past 100 years.

My new article deals with "disdain for theory" - a zeitgeisty phenomenon that has been infesting communities like #Lean, #Agile, and #OrganizationalDevelopment for years or decades, but that's also rampant in the #management community at large and in parts of academia - at least in the #humanities. While disdain for theory is rather harmless on the individual level, it turns toxic when shared by groups and communities. https://nielspflaeging.substack.com/

If you're a manager, Friday afternoon is a perfect time to fall in love with management and organizational theory.

I switched sides!
Moved professionally from #productmgmt to #organizationaldevelopment. Moved from 1-2 year-old startups to an health organization that is 900 years old.

Will be responsible for huge transformations and innovation topics.
Now changemanaging myself in a very new environment.

Resilient organizations aren't built by accident. They have:
• Networked structures (not hierarchies)
• Psychological safety
• Continuous learning
• Shared information
• Simplicity
• Slack capacity
Going faster without these? You're heading for a speed trap.

On 10 July, @soundslikeryan, Drew Weilage and I will discuss one of the most important, yet least understood concepts in #OrganizationalDevelopment, which has tremendous practical implications: The difference between #Optimization ("improvement") and #OvercomingTheSystem. ("transformation"). We will also discuss what this has to do with Beta, why Optimization is sometimes not enough, and more.

"If there aren't existing relationships between business stakeholders and the Data Team, unleashing Generative AI on an organisation is unlikely to work."

"Culture follows structure (in large groups). This is why purely 'mindset' approaches such as organizational learning are not very sticky or impactful by themselves in large groups."

Culture eats nothing at all.
Culture is merely a shadow of an organization:
Change the system - the culture will follow!
Culture is "obedient", not "powerful".
It is "output", not "input."
The culture is shit? Work the system!

@gnaddrig
Basically, I am saying that if you do NOT distinguish between a #system and a system's #culture, then "culture" becomes a chicken-and-egg problem. A myth. A curse. A god. Which it is not.

Culture is merely the shadow of a system. No more. No less.

I have written about this in my books #EssaysOnBetaVol1 and #OrganizeForComplexity.
