00:08:24 Organization Design Forum: Craig - Nice mix, the notion around reducing complexity and bureaucracy 00:10:23 Organization Design Forum: Theme - Janet Dupree - the timeless stuff endures, cause based on common principles, and the need to be thoughtful about the decisions we make and the way we consult with people, not just method 00:11:47 Organization Design Forum: Theme - Rick Hardin - Agree with Craig, the ways to address more straightforward and simple design in the face of complexity…me and clients have struggled with Matrix 00:12:32 Organization Design Forum: Andrea - Organizatiqon design consultant from Italy, my first time here… 00:14:15 Organization Design Forum: Kendra Coleman - the comeback kids article, the 5 key items, - and what struck me was focus - Mckinsey - what was said about culture, and orgs don’t change but people do 00:17:16 Organization Design Forum: Jeroen - theme - getting back to the basics, and the instagram how a not professional got to - organically got to root principles… 00:17:58 Organization Design Forum: Key article - Craig McGee - the Comeback kid 00:18:55 Organization Design Forum: Key article - Janet - What leaders need to know - 5 focus truths, second, comeback article 00:19:38 Organization Design Forum: Rick - favorite - the Matrix article, refreshing and energizing… 00:21:06 Organization Design Forum: I and customers have found frustration on the Matrix - so the idea thet there is a way to think about it differently - so this is favorite…Turnaround looked interesting too 00:22:48 Organization Design Forum: Kendra - Comeback Kid first and the Mckinsyey (what leaders need to know) - and appreciated the story telling…second…and I was puzzled by matrix 00:23:01 Janet du Preez: I agree with Kendra. I did not find the matrixed article explicit enough. 00:24:53 Janet du Preez: I loved the focus on the questions in the McKinsey article - so key to ask great questions. 00:26:15 Organization Design Forum: Jeroen VanBree - favorite was Matrix, because it is touted as Ideal, but ends up being a nightmare… 00:27:10 Organization Design Forum: And the end state is really, as rick said, a way out of the matrix - to create a customer supply relationship - 00:29:33 Organization Design Forum: Kendra - want to make sense of Matrix not working well, what is this alternative, not clear about what he is proposing - I would love to learn 00:31:46 Organization Design Forum: Rick - What, Rick, is the way forward you move forward? For me it is about modules/chunks, creating units that have multiple relationships but are not characterized by a dual structure..which for me, in larger organizations, makes a lot of sense, and raises questions about governance/overisght/ and control…as opposed to competing horizontal verse vertical - modules could be set up without setting up institutional conflice 00:33:53 Organization Design Forum: Craig - this is about getting really clear about integration mechanisms 00:36:11 Organization Design Forum: Customer supplier relationship is a new approach 00:41:20 Janet du Preez: Wow, really interesting question Kendra? 00:45:08 Janet du Preez: Does anyone have a reference for info about Spotify? 00:51:09 Janet du Preez: What Jeroen seems to be discussing is the critical importance of guiding principles when one is wanting to reduce direction. Reminds me of one of the articles a couple of months back which referred to core beliefs in place of core values. 00:51:25 Jeroen VanBree: This is a paper about the Spotify model: http://blog.crisp.se/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/SpotifyScaling.pdf 00:51:33 Andrea Fare: bossless must not mean structureless 00:56:13 Janet du Preez: What you just shared is so interesting Kendra. Cellulose is a substrate used in both paper and cellophane production. I work with a global paper producer who have diversified into cellulose production as the paper industry declines. 00:56:31 Kendra Coleman: Janet really like your reference to core beliefs vs values. Hadn’t considered that before and it’s clear that they are different. 00:57:06 Janet du Preez: Thaks Jeroen! 01:00:38 Janet du Preez: Thank you all for a great conversation! 01:04:24 Janet du Preez: Good point Bill - we have to help ALL orgs! 01:04:29 Kendra Coleman: Interesting points about reactive v proactive focus, Bill (problem solve vs solutions focused) 01:04:41 Janet du Preez: Happy New Year all!
