The Age of Incompetence? How to Put Competence First

The Age of Incompetence? How to Put Competence First

It’s a question that must be on so many  people’s minds today. All around us, from the people who “deliver” our day-to-day services to the people who lead countries, let alone smaller areas of responsibility, some days we seem to be drowning in incompetence. How is it possible that so much incompetence abounds and why […]

The Traditional Hierarchy Organization Doesn’t Work Anymore

The Traditional Hierarchy Organization Doesn’t Work Anymore

Why are people still stuck in adopting a traditional hierarchy and functional organization structure when there are clearly so many drawbacks? When organizations are created and organized in a matrix of vertical hierarchy and functions,
 an inevitable consequence is the existence of a series of “walls” or divisions that inhibit the resources involved in producing an optimal […]

Simplify Your Hierarchy For Speed and Reliability

Simplify Your Hierarchy For Speed and Reliability

Let’s make a radical statement about success and organizations: all that matters for the success of an organization and those who work within it is speed and reliability. Think about that for a second. How many organizations can actually say that they are designed for this? Isn’t it true that layers of bureaucracy and the […]

Fear in the Workplace – How to Drive it Out

Fear in the Workplace – How to Drive it Out

Most organizations were created and are still managed by people whose cognitive skills and careers have been formed in a pre-digital era. This means people that work in them are measured and  managed by people who developed their careers according to the mindset and mechanisms of the pre-digital reality. How can we make sure that valuable […]

7 Symptoms of Silo Sickness that CIOs Must Cure

7 Symptoms of Silo Sickness that CIOs Must Cure

Most organizations are hierarchical. This way of managing means that responsibility gets divided up into functions and the ‘head’ of each function is responsible for the results of that function and the budget allocated. Isn’t this rational? After all, the notion of hierarchy is as old as the bible. Literally. Moses was introduced to it […]

Creating Flow in Your Organization as a Sustainable System

Creating Flow in Your Organization as a Sustainable System

In this post we look at how we can create a sustainable system, how we can operate as a sustainable system, and the results this will help us achieve. What would happen if everyone came to work and just did their own thing? Even with the best of intentions, this would not be a great […]
