Thinking More Organisationally About Process
- The essence of 'thinking organisationally' involves focusing on the relationships between different aspects of the organization and ensuring they are functioning effectively.
- Applying this concept to a Kanban board involves considering each vertical line as a relationship between upstream and downstream activities.
- By analyzing these relationships, teams can identify and address problems such as process steps being done at the wrong time or by the wrong people.
- Teams can optimize collaboration by distinguishing between coordinating, cooperating, and collaborating across vertical lines based on the nature of the work.
- Reflecting on whether the default modes of coordination, cooperation, and collaboration were effective can lead to improved decision-making and workflow.
- Addressing failures of flow and context in work processes can prevent issues from escalating into leadership failures and enhance organizational resilience.
- Emphasizing the importance of context in decision-making and promoting relevant conversations within and outside the team can strengthen organizational capabilities.
- A comprehensive understanding of relationships and context can lead to better preemptive measures and improve overall organizational adaptability.
- The author's book 'Wholehearted: Engaging with Complexity in the Deliberately Adaptive Organisation' delves into these concepts to guide organizations towards effective management practices.
