Re-thinking how power is organized in businesses to thrive in a rapidly changing world
I'll present how the dynamics of today's world means that old ways of organizing power in businesses are no longer working.
We need to re-look at our organization structures so that the emerging culture allows for more effective ways of using power.
I'll cover:
The Decay of Power and What It Means For Your Organization
Current Structures Make it Difficult to Get Things Done
Holacracy — A New Social Technology To Organize Power in Pursuit of Purpose
5 Ways Holacracy Organizes Power to Thrive in a Rapidly Changing World
1. The purpose is the new Boss
2. Autonomy: Everyone is a Leader (but lead roles not people)
3. Create Fractal structures (not Hierarchical or Flat)
4. Power vested in rules (not people)
5. Dynamic org structure that evolves (instead of rigid top-down ones)

Holacracy fundamentally changes how decisions are made and how power is distributed.
