Jan de Visch knows when and why self-steering will be successful (or not)

From many years of experience in changing organisational structures professor Jan De Visch from Flanders Business School has gathered a number of indicators for the success of self-steering. “If the stretch is too big, it will certainly not work, so I always recommend starting with one aspect when laying the foundation for self-management”, says De Visch. A short survey suffices to quickly assess whether your organization is ready to start with self-steering.

That was the subject of the evening session about the chances of success with regard to introducing self-management. This evening session is part of a series on self-management organized by The Argonauts. Another session on how to recruit, grow and retain self-managed employees follows 31st May. The focal point of this is a two-day bus trip in October through a number of companies that have successfully introduced self-management. Participium supports these sessions because we take the subject seriously and think about introducing self-management in our own company.

Self-steering, teal, holocracy, fluid organization, … what model fits your organization best?

What model is the best fit with your (future) organization? We can’t tell. There is no one size fits all organizations solution. You have to discover your own model. The good news is, that you can get inspired by various existing models to design the self-steering approach that might be the best match with the DNA of your organization.

Getting a quick overview of the existing models and getting a much better understanding of their ins and outs, is why you would have to participate in the open session on self-steering on Thursday February 8, 2018. It’s an initiative of The Argonauts and Unizo, supported by Participium.
