The Rise of Emergent Organizations

Medium, organisation, org, strategy, emergence, CAS, Beth Comstock

As we pass the tipping point toward a world fast enough and interconnected enough to be dominated by emergent systems, our methods of making decisions, and the tools available to help us make them, are changing. Here are some rules of thumb and useful modes of understanding for managing ourselves and others in The Emergent Era.
  1. Organize around information flows; ditch hierarchy and bureaucracy.
  2. Empower individuals.
  3. Replace long lists of rules with a good M.O.
  4. Get Used to Living in the “In Between.”
  5. Open up new feedback loops
  6. Tap into the power of minds and machines.
