Adaptable Organizations


Guiding principles for building and organization capable of rapid adaption:

  • Frictionless Information Flow; up, down and across; A function of technology and culture: Driven by "information Pull"
  • Decentralize operational Decisions; The How? decisions
  • Clear vectors from the executive function
  • Reward Learning
  • Modular structure; Plug & Play Architecture; Focus on the interfaces not the objects
  • Dialogue as the primary means of communication; Listening is essential
