A more
detailed summary of the basic concepts of organizational design
“Designing
and redesigning the organization in response to internal and external changes
is a key managerial function. Organizational design is the process of selecting
and managing aspects of organizational structure and culture to enable the
organization to achieve its goals. One of the most important outcomes of
organizational design is organizational structure, or the formal system of
task, power, and reporting relationships.”

culture from Edgar Schein's 1991 article, "What is Culture?" His

Frederic
Laloux on Soulful Organisations, February 24, 2015 (7:06)
“The
way we manage organisations seems increasingly out of date. Survey after survey
shows that the vast majority of employees are disengaged at work, while
organisational leaders complain that their organisations are too slow, siloed,
and bureaucratic for today's world. In this excerpt from the event, Frederic
Laloux discusses the historical evolution of management thinking, and shares
how extraordinary pioneering organisations in very different sectors are
already operating from the next stage of management.”

“Experiments
with Holacracy: Why we stopped doing it, and what we learned along the way” by Michiel van Gerven, April 2019
“My colleague
Minke’s recent article ‘Getting started as an employee experience chief’
triggered some questions about why we at Organize Agile abandoned Holacracy.
It’s not an easy question to answer and while I have my own thoughts on the
subject I also asked my coworkers to offer their opinions. This article will
offer some insights from our journey, what Holacracy did (and didn’t do) for
us, and some recommendations should you want to start your own Holacracy
experiment.”
