#vfot — Public Fediverse posts

Want to make transformational change fast, delightful & effective? The answer lies not in better change management, but in #VFOT approaches like OpenSpace Beta that are
1 Principled
2 Time-boxed
3 Inviting
4 Whole system
5 All at once.

A research paper: https://betacodex.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/BetaCodex-SecretsOfVFOT.pdf

So how do we know that #OpenSpaceBeta "scales", making sure that transformation takes 90 days, regardless if a firm has 100, or 10.000, or 100.000 people? The answer to that is five-fold, as outlined in our #VFOT #BetaCodex white paper in 2019: https://betacodex.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/BetaCodex-SecretsOfVFOT.pdf Read and be surprised!

The adage that "transformation takes years or decades" is just a myth. It's based on a lack of knowledge about systems theory. In fact, org transformation that deserves the name NEVER takes years and cannot take years, but must happen in months. How to make it happen? The answer is: By applying #VFOT principles, which are quite the opposite of what "change management" techniques teach us. read our 2019 white paper: https://betacodex.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/BetaCodex-SecretsOfVFOT.pdf

#Optimization comes from seeking practical answers.
#Transformation comes from pursuing profound questions,
rather than seeking practical answers.

Tired of change management and even of "change leadership"? The good news is: There is an alternative. We call it #VFOT (Very Fast Organizational Transformation), #TimeBoxedChange or #OpenSpaceBeta!

Cell Structure Design is about creating a consistently #decentralized, #selforganized and #democratic organization that's capable of sustainable high performance. Such a structure, or "transformation" is achieved within no more than 8 to 12 weeks (it should not take longer!). We usually do this through the #OpenSpaceBeta approach to transformation. But I am currently undertaking a client transformation just through the #CellStructureDesign approach - which in some cases is also feasible. It's a company of 140 people from 15 or so countries.
Here are a few insights about Cell Structure Design that are worth being aware of: https://lnkd.in/ecqfh8rb

Culture change is neither hard nor easy.
Neither fast nor slow.
Neither good nor bad.
Culture is a bit like the weather:
you cannot change it, even though it changes all the time.
Culture is read-only.

Transformation means "overcoming", not "optimizing."

Transformation that deserved the name cannot and will not happen if you do not remove, eliminate and overcome things, methods, patterns, beliefs and words that are connected with the previous state of the system.

I hope you will acknowledge that, looking at #agile and #lean this way, it is clear that 100% of "agile transformations" and "lean transformations" so far failed to achieve anything worth the name.

Maybe you will even acknowledge that 96% of agile tools, methods, techniques, frameworks and approaches are utterly inapt at supporting transformation.

In 2019, the #BetaCodex Network published two important research papers about #change & #transformation:
Paper 15: Secrets of Very Fast Organizational Transformation https://betacodex.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/BetaCodex-SecretsOfVFOT.pdf and
Paper 16: From Now to New, Right Here: Change-as Flipping
https://betacodex.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/BetaCodex-ChangeAsFlipping.pdf

The two papers outline key concepts and theory behind the #OpenSpaceBeta approach, developed the previous year. They also mark a new era in #OrganizationalDevelopment: Away from planned change and #ChangeManagement, and towards "change work done together with all the willing". Both papers were written by our associates @silkehermann and @nielspflaeging.

Change Management is done by the few.
OpenSpace Beta is done by all the willing.

#openspacebeta #betacodex #transformation #vfot #agile #lean #orgdev #change #changemanagement #agiletransfomation

Change Management is disruptive.
OpenSpace Beta is conservative.

#openspacebeta #betacodex #transformation #vfot #agile #lean #orgdev #change #changemanagement #agiletransfomation

Change Management is full of drama.
OpenSpace Beta is undramatic.

#openspacebeta #betacodex #transformation #vfot #agile #lean #orgdev #change #changemanagement #agiletransfomation

Change Management employs Facts, Force, Fear.
OpenSpace Beta employs Relate, Repeat, Reframe.

#openspacebeta #betacodex #transformation #vfot #agile #lean #orgdev #change #changemanagement #agiletransfomation

Change Management uses participation late.
OpenSpace Beta uses invitation early.

#openspacebeta #betacodex #transformation #vfot #agile #lean #orgdev #change #changemanagement #agiletransfomation

Change Management keeps dragging on..
OpenSpace Beta is strictly time-boxed.

Just saw a post somewhere suggesting that the opposite of "incremental change" is "throwing everything overboard."
That is completely false. When conditions have changed, then there is nothing more conservative & conserving than "transformational change"!

@jchyip
Exactly. Which is why #changemanagement is wrong.
The good news: It is also obsolete and has been so for a few years. A better way:
#VFOT, or #VeryFastOrganizationalTransformation. It's a much more #conservative approach to change work!
