#orgphysics — Public Fediverse posts

The belief that organizations know two hierarchies – a formal and an informal one - is as useful as the geocentric model of the universe. Instead, every organization has three structures and three powers, with just one of them being hierarchical! #OrgPhysics, explained: https://betacodex.org/white-papers/paper/org-physics-explained-11

Most organizational researchers are stuck in limiting paradigms around power, structure, hierarchy. One dogma is the dichotomy of formal & informal structure (both are deemed hierarchical). #OrgPhysics outlines that organizations have 3 structures, powers & leaderships!

Yesterday Rijon Erickson and I talked about #OrgPhysics, decentralization, power and the three leaderships that arise from an organziation's three structures. Yes, every organization has THREE structures, not one, or two. In doubt? Then check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8sXXEFaUcs

@fastagile
The statement by Dee Hock rings true, but it is rather vague, if you consider that every organization actually has three structures - not just one or two. There is such a thing as #OrgPhysics!
A #BetaCodex white paper:
https://betacodex.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/BetaCodex-OrgPhysicsExplained-2022.pdf

You cannot fully understand organizational dynamics if you do not understand #OrgPhysics: Which means to embrace the fact that every organization has three kinds of structure, three kinds of power and three #leaderships.

- The Spotify Model
- #Agile Scaling (SAFe etc)
- Silo structures
- Sociocracy/holacracy
All that stuff is exactly the same: It leads to #centralization, bureaucratization, fear, waste, demotivation & learned helplessness.

I have a new #BetaCodex research paper in the works. The last one, from June 2021, was about #OrgPhysics in Follett's Words. You can read it here: https://betacodex.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/2021-06-27-BetaCodex-OrgPhysics-in-Folletts-words.pdf.

I don't want to disclose the new paper's topic yet, but I can say it is about findings from practice work.

@mattodon @rijon
Thanks for commenting, Matthias! I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the #BetaCodexLIVE episode on #OrgPhysics.

You asked: "Do orgs exist where the 3 structures are aligned in a way that people hold all 3 powers at once?"
Short answer: Yes, EVERYONE ALWAYS holds all 3 powers - but to different measure. You cannot not have all 3 powers.

For more about how companies can achieve balance between the 3 structures, check out this white paper (last pages!):
https://betacodex.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/BetaCodex-OrgPhysicsExplained-2022.pdf

Leadership, organizational development, power dynamics in companies and value creation, can only be fully understood through #OrgPhysics!

OpenSpace Beta is going to celebrate its 5th anniversary in June! Nothing more fitting, on that occasion, to remember that #OpenSpaceBeta-based transformation has been undertaken by quite a few companies already. Here is the testimonial of @tporath, an entrepreneur that @silkehermann and @nielspflaeging accompanied during his company's #transformation, which happened in the middle of the COVID pandemic, and for the whole company at once, with teams in 3 countries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsn5_Ccd5yw

The most important #management and #leadership textbook in German now features #BetaCodex, #OrgPhysics, #CellStructureDesign and #RelativeTargets! Somewhat timidly, you might say, but still.
One might say the time has come for more organizations to leave behind command-and-control.

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.)

@discobeez
I think there are stark differences between that article and the work of the #BetaCodex. The differences are not superficial: While that colleague applauds #flatness, we reject it, as you can see here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/flat-hierarchies-just-another-step-wrong-direction-niels-pflaeging/

So while some advocate "flat", we advocate #decentralization. We published a lot on the matter, including the #OrganizeForComplexity book and our work on #OrgPhysics. Also related: #CellStructureDesign, see https://www.redforty2.com/cellstructuredesign.
