10:35:35	 From  Bill Zybach : Welcome to the February Global Trends Conversation!
10:38:56	 From  Bill Zybach : Please post your Themes in the Chat Box!  Thanks!
10:39:41	 From  Craig McGee : Theme:  connections and relationships across org boundaries; design for agility
10:40:12	 From  Bruce Mabee : Theme: "Collaborate & improvise for continuous change" will be designed into organizations

10:42:01	 From  Bill Zybach : Thanks Ramona, the themes I caught were: Disruption, Agility Capacity to Adapt, creativity in the ability to Change
10:44:00	 From  Regina Blakely : The need for agility in an environment of continuous change - managing the tension between formal and informal - not just in relationships but also processes (final goal vs. continuous beta), importance of establishing relationships
10:49:21	 From  Bill Zybach : Global Trend Theme: Collaboration for Agility in a VUCA World (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) - (All articles had a perspective on this, from groups to organizations) Sandbox (Mckinsey),ING (HBR), Collaboration across silos, Hidden matrix (Nicolay), and Org Design Capabilities (Chris/Sue)
10:50:41	 From  Bill Zybach : Regina, I loved Chris and Sue’s article and the way, in their PDF, illustrated how we are in a world where there is continuous change, and the idea that we do changes that are completed, is less of the reality that we are faced with in a VUCA world
10:51:36	 From  Bill Zybach : Valentina, I think that we are moving towards building capability, as Rich suggested, so the organization has the inherent capability to continously redesign itself
10:53:53	 From  Bill Zybach : Most people quote Darwin about the survival of the fittest - I liked hearing that he said it was also collaboration!!!
10:54:06	 From  Bill Zybach : Thanks Bruce
10:54:48	 From  Bill Zybach : ING talked about the oldsters like us actually being able to adapt well
10:55:22	 From  Regina Blakely : Yes, Bruce: "Changing the wings while flying the plane..." a fear factor is present and needs to be addressed. 
10:58:43	 From  Regina Blakely : Bill: (Nicolay) How do you "map" the informal and (ING) build in the formal?
10:58:56	 From  Bill Zybach : The article clicked most - the ING Articles, and a close second Nicolay’s on formal/informal
11:03:12	 From  Bill Zybach : Correction, Nicolay’s article on Matrix (and how they show up organically)
11:03:20	 From  Bill Zybach : Was 2nd
11:06:28	 From  Bill Zybach : Craig, the continuous capability for change is what I enjoyed the most about Chris/Sue’s areticle
11:09:37	 From  Bill Zybach : I did not see the the connection between sandbox and matrix - Thanks Ramona - in addition to your generosity in offering the your cultural perspective about the formal and informal matrix in Romania!
11:09:54	 From  Bill Zybach : Thanks for helping me to see that connection!
11:12:07	 From  Bill Zybach : Yes, Regina, Chris and Sue’s article does have something we can use now, and the theme, of typical org design/change methods  point back to the  traditional power structures
11:13:00	 From  Bill Zybach : I liked the honesty of the collaboration article, about when it adds value and when it doesn’t add value!
11:16:04	 From  Bill Zybach : Yes, Audrey, One of the downsides or shadows of agile implementation I have done - from the “book” - is that they don’t address the “Star Model Issues” - which is essential from a system’s perspectives.  ING and Chris and Sue nailed this…in my humble opinion!
11:25:29	 From  Bill Zybach : Bruce - power and politics is an essential component of design work, and the informal networks are key to that.
11:26:02	 From  Regina Blakely : Great performance that starts in the learning organization take advantage of the informal matrices and use it to create change. Bruce is evaluating this via a contest sponsored by ATD.
11:26:48	 From  Bruce Mabee : Now, what are the "Themes" coming from us? Great diversity of angles here!
11:28:57	 From  Craig McGee : I continue to just enjoy the dialogue with people who understand org design!!!!
11:30:22	 From  Richard Thayer : I'm encouraged, and convinced that our role is shifting from design to helping organizations design themselves!
11:31:54	 From  Regina Blakely : Examining my own bias toward formal structures and being willing to explore the informal to initiate and skillfully "surf" with change!
