Concerns across organizations often revolve around tradeoffs like underutilization of embedded specialists, cost of decentralization, and standardizing work methods.
Tradeoffs are necessary when optimizing for one strength means compromising on another, emphasizing the importance of defining organizational goals first.
Creating Agile Organizations (CAO) offers tools like Value Chain & Value Stream Mapping, The Star Model, and Strategic Focus to identify capabilities, align elements, and make strategic decisions based on desired outcomes.
Organizations should prioritize clarity on strategy and capabilities to make informed tradeoffs that align with their goals, ensuring design choices support their overarching strategy.
