“Part of the reason why design is a
neglected dimension of leadership:
little credit goes to the designer. The
functions of design are rarely visible;
they take place behind the scenes.
The consequences that appear today
are the result of design work done
long in the past, and work today will
show benefits far in the future. Those
who aspire to lead out of a desire to
control, or gain fame, or simply to be
“at the centre of action” will find
little to attract them in the quiet
design work of leadership.”
– Peter Senge

ASSUMPTIONS
We all exist and work within complex social systems.
We are all responsible for the design, development,
and maintenance of purposeful systems.
To build a great team, you must have an organization
design that enables teams to design great customer
experiences.
Before you can design an amazing customer
experience, you must design a team to create the
customer experience.
The most accute constraint organizations current face
is that their organizational design is incongruent with
their strategy; places to many policies, procedures,
reporting lines, and queues between the teams
delivering great experiences for their customers.
“Rational discussion is useful only
when there is a significant base of
shared assumptions.”
– Noam Chomsky
“Design is a plan for arranging
elements in such a way as best to
accomplish a particular purpose.”
– Charles Eames

WHAT IS
Organization Design?
“Organization design is conceived to be a
decision process to bring about a coherence
between the goals or purposes for which the
organization exists, the patterns of division of
labor and inter-unit coordination and the
people who will do the work.”
― Jay Galbraith, Organizational Design
There is no one best way to organize.
WHAT IS
Organization Design?
“Organization design is the deliberate process
of configuring structures, processes, reward
systems, and people practices to create an
effective organization capable of achieving the
business strategy. The organization is not an
end in itself; it is simply a vehicle for
accomplishing the strategic tasks of the
business. ”
― Amy Kates & Jay Galbraith, Designing Your Organization
“Design is a plan for arrangin
elements in such a way as best
accomplish a particular purpo
– Charles Eames
“Org charts are to organization design what
wireframes are to user experience design.”
– Will Evans
ORG DESIGN
Is Systems Thinking
Organization design requires a systems thinking
approach, taking into consideration all the
interactions between various subsystems and
agents.
Fundementals of Systems Thinking:
• A system is a coherent network of agents
• Systems have clearly defined boundaries
• Systems behavior is highly emergent
• Feedback loops govern the system’s behavior
• Systems are sensative to small perturbations
• The structure of the system influences the behavior
of the system
• You must change the system’s WHY before changing
the system’s WHAT & HOW.
“To manage a system effectively, you
must focus on the interactions of the
parts, rather than optimizing for the
behavior of the parts.”
– Russell Ackoff
WHY CHANGE?
THE 4 QUESTIONS
01
WHY CHANGE?
What are the fundemental
reasons for change? What are
the biggest challenges being
faced?
02
WHAT TO CHANGE?
What obstacles or problems
must be solved, removed, or
mitigated against so that the
organization can realize its
purpose?
03
WHAT TO CHANGE TO?
What new structures, systems,
capabilities must be created,
aligned to the strategy, to
achieve the organizations
purpose?
04
HOW TO CAUSE THE CHANGE?
Where to start? What is the
first step on the jouney?

7 MODERN PROBLEMS
“Having no problems, is the
biggest problem of all.”
–Taichi Ohno
1. Customer Centricity
2. Asymmetric Competition
3. Global vs. Regional
4. Matrix Structure
5. Centralization/Decentralization
6. Innovation
7. Agility
7 MODERN PROBLEMS
“Never start with the solution. Start
with the problem. The surest way to
fuck-up organizational design and
transformation is to walk in with a
playbook.”

7. Agility
UNPACKING
Organizational Agility
There are generally three types of agility spoken
about in the context of challenges enterprises face.
Those three types of (A)gility are:
1. Portfolio Agility is the capability to shift resources away from
steady-state or declining operating companies, business units,
or functions into products, markets, or business units that are
likely to grow.
2. Operational Agility is the capability to quickly identify revenue-
enhancing or waste-removing opportunities to deliver faster
flow of value to customers and the business.
3. Agile Software is a mindset and set of principles focused on the
continuous delivery of quality software to end-users or
customers. These principles include collaborative teams, time-
boxed sprints, small batch sizes, quality baked-in, and
continuously learning through feedback loops.

BOTTOM-UP or TOP-DOWN?
Organization design is both top-down and bottom-up!
The top-down task starts with identifying the strategic
requirements of the business and selecting a basic
organizational structure to support the strategy.
The bottom-up view is focused on the work, tasks, and
interactions and seeks to layout business processes,
value-chains, value-streams, customer journeys, and
supply chains in the most effective manner that is
aligned to the strategy, and delivers value effectively to
customers.

WHY CHANGE?
Building the business case
The first step to effective organization design is
to build the business case for change.
The business case is made up of the key elements of strategy, an analysis
of the current state of the organization including customer research
(qualitative/quantitative), and a clearly defined set of design drivers,
principles, and measures..
Steps for creating the business case include:
1. Clarify strategic priorities (what to do/what not to do)
2. Define the case for change which includes:
1. What capabilities must we build or buy to compete?
2. What is our current state analysis? What sucks?
3. UX Research including: Context, Ethnography, NPS, VOC,
Market, Partners, Vendors,
3. Identify the biggest problem/contraints on achieving the strategy
4. Measurement Criteria (How will we know we’re getting better?)
5. Comms Strategy (Where, when, and how often you will
communicate the change?)
“Design is a plan for arrangin
elements in such a way as best

– Charles Eames
“Org Charts are to organization design what
wireframes are to user experience design.”
– Will Evans
“Culture eats strategy
for breakfast.”
– Peter Drucker
SEMANTIC FOUNDRY ATELIERMADE WITH LOVE
Culture is a pattern of shared basic assumptions and norms
learned by a group as it solves its problems of external adaptation
and internal integration.
“Culture matters. It matters because
decisions made without awareness of the
operative cultural forces may have
unanticipated and undesirable
consequences.” – Edgar Schein
CULTURE
ESPOUSED VALUES
TACIT ASSUMPTIONS
ARTIFACTS & BEHAVIORS
Schein, E. H., Coming to a New Awareness of Organizational Culture. Sloan Management Review.
SCHEIN’S CULTURE MODEL
This is what a company says it stands for
and claims to value. These are often times
completely incongruent with actual
behaviors.
These are the norms, assumptions,
tacit knowledge that govern the
organization and have the biggest
impact on decision-making. These
are the things most people ignore.
This is the easiest part of organizational
culture to see and touch. It includes posted
values, office layout, plans, policies and
observable behaviors.
PRINCIPLES OF
Organizational Design
These are some high level principles of good
organizational design. A key to choosing or
designing an organization model is identifying which
are important given your context.
“Principles and rules are intended
to provide a thinking man with a
frame of reference.”
– Carl von Clausewitz
1. Active & Present Leadership
2. Requisite Complexity
3. Coherence, Not Uniformity
4. Complementary Sets of Options
5. Structural Reconfigurability (loose vs tight
coupling)
6. Evolve, Do Not Install
7. Clarity of Interfaces & Interactions
8. Emphasize Kaizen Over Kaikaku
• An image or framework that presents a template for
guidance; or
• A representation of a set of components of a process,
system, subsystem, or subject area, generally developed
for understanding, analysis, improvement, and/or
replacement of the process; or
• A representation of information, activities,
relationships, interactions, and constraints between
components.
A model is simply:
SYSTEMS MODELS
Defining the Damn Thing
“Remember that all models are
wrong; the practical question is how
wrong do they have to be to not be
useful.” – George Box
SYSTEM MODEL
What is the point?
• Help structure approaches to problems,
improvements, or events;
• Provide a framework for communication of changes
and transitions;
• Give the design process a common language and
vocabulary;
• Illuminate and help resolve design challenges or
problems;
• Illuminate interations, interdependencies, and
alignments
• Help create a “new story” of the organization
The value of a model lies in its ability to:
It is an axiom in organization design that structure follows strategy, a play
on Louis Sullivan’s modernist architectural command that form follows
function. In general, organizational structure follows strategy.
ORGANIZATION DESIGN MODELS
Galbraith‘s Star Model McKinsey‘s 7-S Model Weisbord‘s Six Box Model
Burke-Litwin Causal Model Nadler‘s Updated Congruence Model Holonic Enterprise Model
The Star Model is one useful framework for
understanding design and governance choices
and policies across five categories:
1. Strategy: determines the future direction of the
organization and where it will compete
2. Structure: determines the location, clustering,
and reporting of decision-making and
distribution of power.
3. Processes: determines the flow of information,
raw materials, stage gates, and approvals to get
shit done.
4. Rewards & Policies: influence the motivation of
people to perform and address goals while
overcoming challenges.
5. People: includes culture, norms, mindsets, and
skills of the people needed to generate value
and allow the organization to achieve it‘s
strategy.
GALBRAITH’S STAR MODEL
SIX DESIGN VECTORS
Operating governance is how managers delegate
decision-making vertically into the organization
through hierarchy and policy, and establish
decision rights horizontally across functions and
business units.
Operating governance is a process by which
power is intentionally allocated across the
organization.
When power dynamics are not designed well, the
result is prolonged decision-making, endless
meetings, mindless email chains, misunderstood
communications , friction, failure, and death.
DESIGN FOR
Operating Governance
SEMANTIC FOUNDRY ATELIERMADE WITH LOVE
The Four Levers of Control model
(derived from Robert Simon‘s work)
serves as a way for leaders to consciously
make governance part of the
organizational design process.
The four levers are defined as:
1. Belief Systems, used to inspire and direct the
search for new opportunities
2. Interactive Networks, used to stimulate
organizational learning and the emergence of new
ideas and strategies
3. Boundary Systems, used to set limits on
opportunity seeking behavior
4. Measurements, used to monitor and reward
achievement of specific goals.
DESIGN OF GOVERNANCE
Robert Simon‘s Four Levers of Control
LEADING
Organizational Change
A leader can directly impact three leavers of
performance in an organization, which means
changing:
1. The Strategy
2. The Executive Team
3. The Shape of the Organization
“We cannot change what we are not
aware of, and once we are aware, we
cannot help but change.”
– Sheryl Sandberg
Leading means understanding how to deploy and manage
power to achieve results… there are six sources of power
that need discussing.
6 SOURCES OF
Power in Org Design
• Legitimate Power which is formal authority in a hierarchy.
• Expert Power is derived from possessing knowledge or
expertise in a particular area.
• Referent Power is based on the use and exercise of
interpersonal relationships a person cultivates and social capital
a person accumulates.
• Coercive Power is derived from a person’s ability and
willingness to influence others through threats, violence, or
sanctions.
• Reward Power arises from a person’s ability to influence the
allocation of incentives within an organization including pay,
appraisals and promotions
• Informational Power relates to a person’s ability to control the
flow of information and disinformation within a social group.
“There is no power relation without a
correlative constitution of a field of
knowledge, nor any knowledge that does not
presuppose at the same time power relations.”
– Michel FoucaultFrench, John R. and Raven, Bertram (1959) The Bases of Social Power. Studies in Social Power
“These patterns emerge in
complex, responsive processes of
interaction between people taking
the form of conversations, power
relations, choices, and intentions.
What happens is the result of the
interplay between the intentions
and strategies of all involved and
no one can control this interplay.”
– Ralph Stacey

• Maintaining & improving the organization
• Coaching and mentoring people
• Problem solving
• Planning and budgeting
• Monitoring and controlling
Management
MANAGEMENT VS LEADERSHIP
Management is a set of processes that
keep a complex system of people, assets,
and technology working together to
deliver a steady flow of value and service
to customers at a reasonable cost to the
organization and society.
Management tends to focus on the following:
Leadership
Leadership is a set of processes that
creates organizations in the first place or
adapts them to significatly changing
circumstances. Leadership defines what
the future should look like, aligns people
with that vision, and inspires then to
make it happen despite the obstacles.
Leadership tends to focus on the following:
• Defining the future reality
• Aligning people to the vision
• Motivating, inspiring, and energizing people to
work towards the vision
A leader is best when people barely know that he exists, not so good when people
obey and acclaim him, worst when they despise him. But of a good leader, who
talks little, when his work is done, his aim fullfilled, his people will say,
“We did this ourselves.” – Lao Tzu
SEMANTIC FOUNDRY ATELIERMADE WITH LOVE
Hersey & Blanchard‘s Situational Leadership Model
MODELING LEADERSHIP
Organization Design is a Leadership Competency
whose success depends on the complex interactions
of four key groups: internal formal leaders, internal
informal leaders, external formal leaders, and
external informal leaders.
Leading Organization Design requires:
1. A clear grasp of the purpose, mission, and strategy
of the organization;
2. Establishing the boundaries of the change and the
roles required to transform the organization;
3. Develop an appropriate leadership style;
4. Mobilizing formal and informal leaders to
collaborate together;
5. Creating a sense of urgency by communicating the
business case while recognizing and respecting
people‘s fears.

FINAL THOUGHTS
On Good Organization Design
• Good organization design starts with a clear and shared
understanding of your customer, context, and problem(s) to
be solved.
• Good organization design requires whole systems thinking,
including all subsystems, interfaces, interactions, constraints,
boundaries, partners, vendors, community, and society.
• The process of good organization design requires requisite
diversity of ideas and people.
• Good organization design develops future leaders to
constantly manage continuous course correction through the
change.
• Good organization design tackles power and decision-rights
explicitly, placing authority and responsibility where it can
achieve the best throughput.
• Good organization design is iterative and requires developing
an experimental mindset.
“You cannot understand good design if
you don’t understand people; design is
made for people.”
– Dieter Rams

Leading Organizational Design and Transformation

  • 1. LEADING ORGANIZATIONAL Design & Transformation WILLIAM EVANS Copyright © 2016-2018 William Evans
  • 3. “Part of the reason why design is a neglected dimension of leadership: little credit goes to the designer. The functions of design are rarely visible; they take place behind the scenes. The consequences that appear today are the result of design work done long in the past, and work today will show benefits far in the future. Those who aspire to lead out of a desire to control, or gain fame, or simply to be “at the centre of action” will find little to attract them in the quiet design work of leadership.” – Peter Senge SEMANTIC FOUNDRY ATELIERMADE WITH LOVE
  • 4. OUTLINE What we’ll cover today… 1. Assumptions 2. Defining Organization Design 3. Four Questions 4. The Problems Organizations Face 5. Process of Organization Design 6. Organizational Culture 7. Principles of Organization Design 8. Organization Design Models 9. Six Design Vectors 10. Designing Governance 11. Leading Organizational Change 12. Final Thoughts on Good Design
  • 5. ASSUMPTIONS We all exist and work within complex social systems. We are all responsible for the design, development, and maintenance of purposeful systems. To build a great team, you must have an organization design that enables teams to design great customer experiences. Before you can design an amazing customer experience, you must design a team to create the customer experience. The most accute constraint organizations current face is that their organizational design is incongruent with their strategy; places to many policies, procedures, reporting lines, and queues between the teams delivering great experiences for their customers. “Rational discussion is useful only when there is a significant base of shared assumptions.” – Noam Chomsky
  • 6. “Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.” – Charles Eames SEMANTIC FOUNDRY ATELIERMADE WITH LOVE
  • 7. WHAT IS Organization Design? “Organization design is conceived to be a decision process to bring about a coherence between the goals or purposes for which the organization exists, the patterns of division of labor and inter-unit coordination and the people who will do the work.” ― Jay Galbraith, Organizational Design There is no one best way to organize.
  • 8. WHAT IS Organization Design? “Organization design is the deliberate process of configuring structures, processes, reward systems, and people practices to create an effective organization capable of achieving the business strategy. The organization is not an end in itself; it is simply a vehicle for accomplishing the strategic tasks of the business. ” ― Amy Kates & Jay Galbraith, Designing Your Organization
  • 9. “Design is a plan for arrangin elements in such a way as best accomplish a particular purpo – Charles Eames “Org charts are to organization design what wireframes are to user experience design.” – Will Evans
  • 10. ORG DESIGN Is Systems Thinking Organization design requires a systems thinking approach, taking into consideration all the interactions between various subsystems and agents. Fundementals of Systems Thinking: • A system is a coherent network of agents • Systems have clearly defined boundaries • Systems behavior is highly emergent • Feedback loops govern the system’s behavior • Systems are sensative to small perturbations • The structure of the system influences the behavior of the system • You must change the system’s WHY before changing the system’s WHAT & HOW. “To manage a system effectively, you must focus on the interactions of the parts, rather than optimizing for the behavior of the parts.” – Russell Ackoff
  • 11. WHY CHANGE? THE 4 QUESTIONS 01 WHY CHANGE? What are the fundemental reasons for change? What are the biggest challenges being faced? 02 WHAT TO CHANGE? What obstacles or problems must be solved, removed, or mitigated against so that the organization can realize its purpose? 03 WHAT TO CHANGE TO? What new structures, systems, capabilities must be created, aligned to the strategy, to achieve the organizations purpose? 04 HOW TO CAUSE THE CHANGE? Where to start? What is the first step on the jouney? WHAT TO CHANGE? WHAT TO CHANGE TO? HOW TO CAUSE THE CHANGE?
  • 12. 7 MODERN PROBLEMS “Having no problems, is the biggest problem of all.” –Taichi Ohno 1. Customer Centricity 2. Asymmetric Competition 3. Global vs. Regional 4. Matrix Structure 5. Centralization/Decentralization 6. Innovation 7. Agility
  • 13. 7 MODERN PROBLEMS “Never start with the solution. Start with the problem. The surest way to fuck-up organizational design and transformation is to walk in with a playbook.” –Will Evans 1. Customer Centricity 2. Asymmetric Competition 3. Global vs. Regional 4. Matrix Structure 5. Centralization/Decentralization 6. Innovation 7. Agility
  • 14. UNPACKING Organizational Agility There are generally three types of agility spoken about in the context of challenges enterprises face. Those three types of (A)gility are: 1. Portfolio Agility is the capability to shift resources away from steady-state or declining operating companies, business units, or functions into products, markets, or business units that are likely to grow. 2. Operational Agility is the capability to quickly identify revenue- enhancing or waste-removing opportunities to deliver faster flow of value to customers and the business. 3. Agile Software is a mindset and set of principles focused on the continuous delivery of quality software to end-users or customers. These principles include collaborative teams, time- boxed sprints, small batch sizes, quality baked-in, and continuously learning through feedback loops. SEMANTIC FOUNDRY ATELIERMADE WITH LOVE
  • 15. BOTTOM-UP or TOP-DOWN? Organization design is both top-down and bottom-up! The top-down task starts with identifying the strategic requirements of the business and selecting a basic organizational structure to support the strategy. The bottom-up view is focused on the work, tasks, and interactions and seeks to layout business processes, value-chains, value-streams, customer journeys, and supply chains in the most effective manner that is aligned to the strategy, and delivers value effectively to customers.

Reinforce Practices, Behaviors, and Values; reward and promote based on change vision.
  • 17. WHY CHANGE? Building the business case The first step to effective organization design is to build the business case for change. The business case is made up of the key elements of strategy, an analysis of the current state of the organization including customer research (qualitative/quantitative), and a clearly defined set of design drivers, principles, and measures.. Steps for creating the business case include: 1. Clarify strategic priorities (what to do/what not to do) 2. Define the case for change which includes: 1. What capabilities must we build or buy to compete? 2. What is our current state analysis? What sucks? 3. UX Research including: Context, Ethnography, NPS, VOC, Market, Partners, Vendors, 3. Identify the biggest problem/contraints on achieving the strategy 4. Measurement Criteria (How will we know we’re getting better?) 5. Comms Strategy (Where, when, and how often you will communicate the change?)
  • 18. “Design is a plan for arrangin elements in such a way as best accomplish a particular purpo – Charles Eames “Org Charts are to organization design what wireframes are to user experience design.” – Will Evans “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” – Peter Drucker SEMANTIC FOUNDRY ATELIERMADE WITH LOVE
  • 19. Culture is a pattern of shared basic assumptions and norms learned by a group as it solves its problems of external adaptation and internal integration. “Culture matters. It matters because decisions made without awareness of the operative cultural forces may have unanticipated and undesirable consequences.” – Edgar Schein CULTURE
  • 20. ESPOUSED VALUES TACIT ASSUMPTIONS ARTIFACTS & BEHAVIORS Schein, E. H., Coming to a New Awareness of Organizational Culture. Sloan Management Review. SCHEIN’S CULTURE MODEL This is what a company says it stands for and claims to value. These are often times completely incongruent with actual behaviors. These are the norms, assumptions, tacit knowledge that govern the organization and have the biggest impact on decision-making. These are the things most people ignore. This is the easiest part of organizational culture to see and touch. It includes posted values, office layout, plans, policies and observable behaviors.
  • 21. PRINCIPLES OF Organizational Design These are some high level principles of good organizational design. A key to choosing or designing an organization model is identifying which are important given your context. “Principles and rules are intended to provide a thinking man with a frame of reference.” – Carl von Clausewitz 1. Active & Present Leadership 2. Requisite Complexity 3. Coherence, Not Uniformity 4. Complementary Sets of Options 5. Structural Reconfigurability (loose vs tight coupling) 6. Evolve, Do Not Install 7. Clarity of Interfaces & Interactions 8. Emphasize Kaizen Over Kaikaku
  • 22. • An image or framework that presents a template for guidance; or • A representation of a set of components of a process, system, subsystem, or subject area, generally developed for understanding, analysis, improvement, and/or replacement of the process; or • A representation of information, activities, relationships, interactions, and constraints between components. A model is simply: SYSTEMS MODELS Defining the Damn Thing “Remember that all models are wrong; the practical question is how wrong do they have to be to not be useful.” – George Box
  • 23. SYSTEM MODEL What is the point? • Help structure approaches to problems, improvements, or events; • Provide a framework for communication of changes and transitions; • Give the design process a common language and vocabulary; • Illuminate and help resolve design challenges or problems; • Illuminate interations, interdependencies, and alignments • Help create a “new story” of the organization The value of a model lies in its ability to:
  • 24. It is an axiom in organization design that structure follows strategy, a play on Louis Sullivan’s modernist architectural command that form follows function. In general, organizational structure follows strategy.
  • 25. ORGANIZATION DESIGN MODELS Galbraith‘s Star Model McKinsey‘s 7-S Model Weisbord‘s Six Box Model Burke-Litwin Causal Model Nadler‘s Updated Congruence Model Holonic Enterprise Model
  • 26. The Star Model is one useful framework for understanding design and governance choices and policies across five categories: 1. Strategy: determines the future direction of the organization and where it will compete 2. Structure: determines the location, clustering, and reporting of decision-making and distribution of power. 3. Processes: determines the flow of information, raw materials, stage gates, and approvals to get shit done. 4. Rewards & Policies: influence the motivation of people to perform and address goals while overcoming challenges. 5. People: includes culture, norms, mindsets, and skills of the people needed to generate value and allow the organization to achieve it‘s strategy. GALBRAITH’S STAR MODEL
  • 28. Operating governance is how managers delegate decision-making vertically into the organization through hierarchy and policy, and establish decision rights horizontally across functions and business units. Operating governance is a process by which power is intentionally allocated across the organization. When power dynamics are not designed well, the result is prolonged decision-making, endless meetings, mindless email chains, misunderstood communications , friction, failure, and death. DESIGN FOR Operating Governance SEMANTIC FOUNDRY ATELIERMADE WITH LOVE
  • 29. The Four Levers of Control model (derived from Robert Simon‘s work) serves as a way for leaders to consciously make governance part of the organizational design process. The four levers are defined as: 1. Belief Systems, used to inspire and direct the search for new opportunities 2. Interactive Networks, used to stimulate organizational learning and the emergence of new ideas and strategies 3. Boundary Systems, used to set limits on opportunity seeking behavior 4. Measurements, used to monitor and reward achievement of specific goals. DESIGN OF GOVERNANCE Robert Simon‘s Four Levers of Control
  • 30. LEADING Organizational Change A leader can directly impact three leavers of performance in an organization, which means changing: 1. The Strategy 2. The Executive Team 3. The Shape of the Organization “We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.” – Sheryl Sandberg Leading means understanding how to deploy and manage power to achieve results… there are six sources of power that need discussing.
  • 31. 6 SOURCES OF Power in Org Design • Legitimate Power which is formal authority in a hierarchy. • Expert Power is derived from possessing knowledge or expertise in a particular area. • Referent Power is based on the use and exercise of interpersonal relationships a person cultivates and social capital a person accumulates. • Coercive Power is derived from a person’s ability and willingness to influence others through threats, violence, or sanctions. • Reward Power arises from a person’s ability to influence the allocation of incentives within an organization including pay, appraisals and promotions • Informational Power relates to a person’s ability to control the flow of information and disinformation within a social group. “There is no power relation without a correlative constitution of a field of knowledge, nor any knowledge that does not presuppose at the same time power relations.” – Michel FoucaultFrench, John R. and Raven, Bertram (1959) The Bases of Social Power. Studies in Social Power
  • 32. “These patterns emerge in complex, responsive processes of interaction between people taking the form of conversations, power relations, choices, and intentions. What happens is the result of the interplay between the intentions and strategies of all involved and no one can control this interplay.” – Ralph Stacey SEMANTIC FOUNDRY ATELIERMADE WITH LOVE
  • 33. • Maintaining & improving the organization • Coaching and mentoring people • Problem solving • Planning and budgeting • Monitoring and controlling Management MANAGEMENT VS LEADERSHIP Management is a set of processes that keep a complex system of people, assets, and technology working together to deliver a steady flow of value and service to customers at a reasonable cost to the organization and society. Management tends to focus on the following: Leadership Leadership is a set of processes that creates organizations in the first place or adapts them to significatly changing circumstances. Leadership defines what the future should look like, aligns people with that vision, and inspires then to make it happen despite the obstacles. Leadership tends to focus on the following: • Defining the future reality • Aligning people to the vision • Motivating, inspiring, and energizing people to work towards the vision
  • 34. A leader is best when people barely know that he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worst when they despise him. But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aim fullfilled, his people will say, “We did this ourselves.” – Lao Tzu SEMANTIC FOUNDRY ATELIERMADE WITH LOVE
  • 35. Hersey & Blanchard‘s Situational Leadership Model MODELING LEADERSHIP Organization Design is a Leadership Competency whose success depends on the complex interactions of four key groups: internal formal leaders, internal informal leaders, external formal leaders, and external informal leaders. Leading Organization Design requires: 1. A clear grasp of the purpose, mission, and strategy of the organization; 2. Establishing the boundaries of the change and the roles required to transform the organization; 3. Develop an appropriate leadership style; 4. Mobilizing formal and informal leaders to collaborate together; 5. Creating a sense of urgency by communicating the business case while recognizing and respecting people‘s fears.

  • 37. FINAL THOUGHTS On Good Organization Design • Good organization design starts with a clear and shared understanding of your customer, context, and problem(s) to be solved. • Good organization design requires whole systems thinking, including all subsystems, interfaces, interactions, constraints, boundaries, partners, vendors, community, and society. • The process of good organization design requires requisite diversity of ideas and people. • Good organization design develops future leaders to constantly manage continuous course correction through the change. • Good organization design tackles power and decision-rights explicitly, placing authority and responsibility where it can achieve the best throughput. • Good organization design is iterative and requires developing an experimental mindset. “You cannot understand good design if you don’t understand people; design is made for people.” – Dieter Rams
