We envision a largely self-organizing process of transformation to a transparent, collaborative enterprise. Each of four stages of growth brings its own benefits and is supported by an aspect of the OrgScope tool. Later stages build on earlier ones, are more complex, and enable more cross-boundary self-management. |
Think Whole, Act the Part
|
Stage 1: I See Us |
Tool: OrgScope-in-a-Browser |
Provides personal identity and orientation in complex, largely invisible organisation |
Eases navigation, supports communication, improves ‘on-boarding’
|
Generates desire to see self and others in relationship to one another |
|
Publish read-only, click-anywhere, network maps to web for unlimited distribution
|
Annotation and feedback features
enable participatory map improvement |
|
Calculate metrics of relationship in the hierarchy
|
Stage 2: I See Me |
Network Science |
Each position is unique, has own organizational metrics
|
Facilitates conversations about accountabilities in context of cross-org comparisons
|
Generates desire to see more detailed maps with matrix reports, contractors, work teams, leadership networks, governance groups, etc.
|
|
Ability to calculate network metrics puts every job into context
|
Considerable metrics variety from adding new types of nodes, links to base org chart via layers
|
|
Add layers to the basic hierarchy for the working organization
|
Stage 3: They See Me |
Network Layers |
Each position participates in many working networks threading through the hierarchy |
Facilitates cross-organisational conversations with greater transparency and views to new pathways
|
Generates desire and data to self-organise: change, adapt, and realign local working networks
|
|
Ability to create new network maps, add detail, and/or change features in separate layers that overlay base hierarchy
|
Developing on-screen OrgScope Editor for easy creation of custom network layer maps |
|
Integrate with collaboration tools
|
Stage 4: We See Us |
Network Collaboration |
Combine continuous organisational awareness with technologies of connection and collaboration
|
Facilitates local improvement and innovation in context of shared cross-organisation purposes
|
Generates a smarter, quicker, more adaptive ‘self-organisation’, a key strategic advantage in times of accelerating complexity |
|
Extensive current untapped ability as clickable navigation tool tying together disparate collaboration spaces and addresses
|
Can integrate with variety of collaboration tools
