John Bunch: One of the pre-conditions to transforming a large organization to being self-organized is that you must have a strong culture that is going to be able to withstand the differences.


John Bunch

John Bunch: Organizations as they grow in size become less productive on a per employee basis, but as cities grow they become more productive on a per citizen basis. So how can companies be more like cities?

Polly Labarre: Let's get to the heart of the matter. How do we move beyond bureaucracy?

A great question I find here is "John Bunch: Organizations as they grow in size become less productive on a per employee basis, but as cities grow they become more productive on a per citizen basis. So how can companies be more like cities?"

Advice process: one decision owner + expert advice + impacted stakeholder = decision

LOGICAL PROBLEM!!!: by definition you can't know who the impacted stakeholder is BEFORE you make the decision! The stakeholder and their impact is identified AFTER the decision is made.

I buy my groceries in the Supermarket.... but which one? To make the decision I get together the decision owner (me), expert (my wife) and impacted stakeholders (?? all the supermarkets?.... just the supermarket I'm going to choose??) and together we make the decision?

"Ethics can’t overcome incentives"

The desire to change
and the enthusiasm to change
and the commitment to change
and the need to change

Can't overcome the established incentives (the old "apps"), they are too powerful a force that drags the organization back to "normal".

F.Lal. "structure and coordinating mechanisms":
These are the new apps.

How do you put new apps in first BEFORE you remove the old ones?- is this a question of which comes first the "chicken and egg"?

Get rid of managers BEFORE you put the apps in place, or put the apps in place before you get rid of the managers?
Either which way has got to be a massive investment.
