Who's the Boss Anyway!? What is Adaptive Org Design?
Nothing ever gets done without a decision being made somewhere. Whether that’s what you’ll eat for breakfast or which corporate strategy to follow, action follows decisions. In a typical hierarchical model, most “important” decisions are made by those higher up in the organization. The level of decision-making decreases dramatically the lower in the org you go.
What would it look like to have distributed decision-making? What if a Sales person could make decisions on discounts to potential customers? What if a line manager could make purchasing decisions on contractors? What if a front-end Developer could make decisions on UX?
➡️What do you think needs to happen for this to be successful?
What you’ll get in this session:
