Webinar Recording: Between spaces, scopes, and scales: What the scaling frameworks don’t tell you with Mike Burrows

In a viable, deliberately adaptive organisation, how do the relationships between different organisational scales work? Or the same question, but for the networked organisation? And what does that mean for me? If these questions resonate, this is a session for you. The session was recorded and can be viewed below:

Drawn from the Agendashift Academy’s latest module “Adaptive Organisation: Business agility at every scale”, this new talk integrates systems, complexity, and flow thinking (models such as the viable system model, the Cynefin framework, and Flight Levels) and shows how that with or without branded frameworks, many scale-related challenges reflect deep organisational imbalances that we can learn to recognise and address.

During this session, you will hear about:
✔️Organising as meaning something relational, inviting approaches complementary to mainly process-based approaches
✔️What to look for in the relationships between different organisational scales
✔️How to “start where you are”, whatever your scope, wherever you happen to be
