Adaptive Organisation (I): Business agility at every scale v2.0 beta

Posted on by Mike Burrows

As first mentioned to Academy subscribers here, I’m delighted to announce that the videos for all three chapters of v2.0 of Adaptive Organisation (I): Business agility at every scale have been released. As done previously for the Leading with Outcomes: Foundation module, it remains in beta until I’ve released the new workbook and added captions (hand-edited) to all videos. The previous version (v1.6) remains available for the time being on the old learning management system.

Part I covers key building blocks every leader needs to know about organising for adaptability:

  • The three overlapping spaces of the Deliberately Adaptive Organisation
  • Integrating strategy, delivery, and mutual trust-building
  • Managing complexity, finding balance in these and other relationships at every scale

As well as the usual improvements in flow we’ve seen with iterations of this and other modules, these are the main changes since v1.6:

  • A greater and earlier emphasis on emergence and self-organisation
  • An earlier introduction of this modules’s complexity-friendly “start where you are, everywhere all at once” approach, seen first with the accompanying assessment
  • Better integrating the relational and constraint-based aspects of organising (we’ll build on this in some leading-edge complexity-related material in part II)
  • A new interlude between chapters 2 and 3 incorporating workshop exercises from our in-person training, Leading in a Transforming Organisation

For news on progress on both parts I and II (the latter under development as part of my preparations for my Melbourne and Manchester trainings):
