Organizing for Outcomes
Every organisation is perfectly optimised to get the results it gets. Is your organisation and are all of the people who devote their time, energy and investment in return for financial tokens and social bonds, universally happy with the results they get?
If yes, then I look forward to attending your talk! If no, I’ll be sharing antipatterns and patterns on the topic of organising for outcomes (across the whole org, not IT only), from first hand experience and from a range of large organisations. Do you want to rearrange the deck chairs (#AsYouWere) or do you want better outcomes?It seems that every company on the planet is getting more tribal. That is, adopting long-lived multidisciplinary teams, 'our business' in scope, aligned to the consumer and the flow of value (aka Value Streams or 'Tribes').
There is an emerging new normal across organisations. Whether Darwinian or by design.
What an exciting time to be working! A once in 10 generations pivot (the previous major pivot being 251 years ago (1771), the introduction of the first factory system at scale, with division of labour, a way of working which is still prevalent today).
