3. Question # 1
What if people outside
the company participate?

4. If you expect your organization to be more
responsive, your team needs context - they need
to know what's going on in your company and in
the market.
Transparency becomes increasingly important.

9. Question # 2
Should a person do
1 specialized job or
do different types of work?

10. In a sense, the crowning
accomplishment of the hierarchy
and its management processes is
the enterprise on autopilot,
everyone ideally situated as a cog
whirring on a steady, unthinking
and predictable machine.

13. Malone, Thomas W.: The Future of Work, p. 53.
Specialization prevents people from doing
more jobs which could create more value.

14. Whether contributing to a
blog, working on an open
source project, or sharing
advice in a forum, people
choose to work on the things
that interest them. Everyone is
an independent contractor.

17. Question # 3
What if people have
no titles, and what if there
is no formal hierarchy?

18. In large organizations, resources
get allocated top-down.
http://blogs.wsj.com/management/2009/03/24/the-facebook-generation-vs-the-fortune-500/

19. Imagine if there was only 1 venture capital
company in the world, and it was led by, well let’s
say Bill Gates. How much innovation would we
have if there was only 1 place to go for funding?
And yet, inside most organizations, there is only 1
place to go for funding, and that is up the chain of
command.

21. What happens over time is you end up with many
people in leadership positions who aren’t actually
leaders. They’re there because they had good
political skills, they’re there because they had
connections, they’re there because they added
value last year or 5 years ago.
But they’re not there because they are true leaders
and individuals that people want to follow.

27. Question # 4
What if creativity is
as important as efficiency?

28. Hierarchies are useful. They let us sort work into
departments, product divisions, regions, and the like with
expertise, time-tested procedures, and clear reporting
relationships and accountability so that we can do what we
know how to do with efficiency, predictability, and
effectiveness.
Hierarchies are directed by familiar managerial processes
for planning, budgeting, defining jobs, hiring and firing, and
measuring results.
http://hbr.org/2012/11/accelerate/ar/2

29. The management model that predominates in most
organizations has its roots in the early 20th century.
At that time, management innovators were focused on
the challenge of achieving efficiency at scale. Their
solution was the bureaucratic organization, with its
emphasis on standardization, specialization, hierarchy,
conformance, and control.
http://www.managementexchange.com/blog/m-prize/management-20-challenge

30. Organizations were built around
principles that deify conformance,
control, alignment, discipline and
efficiency.
The principles that organizations
have at their core are antithetical
to innovation.
Gary Hamel
http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2012/12/04/gary-hamel-on-innovating-innovation/

31. The reason that innovation often seems to be
so difficult for established companies is that
they employ highly capable people and then
set them to work within organizational
structures whose processes and values
weren’t designed for the task at hand.
http://hbr.org/2000/03/meeting-the-challenge-of-disruptive-change/ar/7

http://hbr.org/2012/11/accelerate/ar/1
John Kotter.
The successful organization of the future will have 2 organizational
structures:
1. A hierarchy.
2. A more teaming, egalitarian, and adaptive network.
Both are designed and purposive. While the hierarchy is as
important as it has always been for optimizing work, the network
is where big change happens. It allows a company to more
easily spot big opportunities and then change itself to grab them.

34. Question # 5
What if people
try their ideas out?

35. Because strategic planning generally happens
annually, it shares the same shortcomings for
companies as for countries with centrally planned
economies: misallocation of resources when market
conditions change and difficulty responding to
changed realities.
http://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/how-strategic-is-your-board/

36. In an era that demands you leverage the
benefits of unpredictability, you need to
create a culture of hypothesis-testing and
quickly change course based on results.

40. Question # 6
What if people take
decisions themselves?

41. Top-down, control-based hierarchical
structures discourage individual initiative
and reduce autonomy.
http://www.mixhackathon.org/hackathon/contribution/12-enemies-organizational-adaptability

42. Instead of organizing hierarchically and with different
functions, organize cross functionally in project
teams that change every 2 – 10 weeks.
For each project, a team member is selected as the
lead who is responsible for delivering the project.
This enables every person to experience
leading a team throughout the year.
http://blog.7geese.com/2012/12/05/learn-from-yammer-and-become-an-adaptive-tech-company/

43. http://blog.7geese.com/2012/12/05/learn-from-yammer-and-become-an-adaptive-tech-company/
In an adaptive organization, the decision-
making is pushed to the edges. This
reduces communication barriers and
empowers the employees on the front-line
to make decisions.

44. Supercell is organized as a collection of small, independent
teams called cells tasked with developing new games or
building new deep features for existing games.
Cells have complete autonomy in terms of how they
organize themselves, prioritize ideas, distribute work and
determine what they ultimately produce. The company as
a whole is merely an aggregation of these cells; a
Supercell.

45. At a plant of General Electric in Durham, North
Carolina, USA, a plant that does the final assembly
for the largest jet engines in the world, they have
400 employees and 1 plant manager.
So those employees are doing, for example,
production scheduling, quality control and training –
tasks that, historically, we saw as managerial work.
