CHANGE M.A.D.E. REAL
Organizational Design: Purposeful vs Adhoc
The Org Topologies map is a visual thinking tool to guide the redesign of organizations, easy for many to use. And the related change method MADE unfolds in four distinct steps:
-
Map the ecosystem “as is”
-
Assess the ecosystem “as is”
-
Design the ecosystem “to be”
-
Elevate the ecosystem from “as is” toward “to be”
The Assessment and Mapping techniques allow seeing the inevitable paradigm shifts an organization needs to adopt on its path toward the chosen perfection vision. Such a method empowers change agents with a simple visual way to map the current conditions and agree on a path to the target state.
Designing and Elevating entails exploring options for org designs that are more fit for purpose, and implementing them. Moving the organization towards the chosen path is enabled by Elevating Katas™ — a set of principles, guides, and experiments to be studied and applied within the org context to get change going.
