Three essentials of self-steering

As we mentioned earlier prof. Jan De Visch held an interesting lecture about self steering, at the event of february 8, organized by the Argonauts and Unizo, and sponsored by Participium.

This is what we learned from prof. Jan De Visch.

There are three essentials of self steering

1. Organize around the customer and organize around the customer’s value streams. The client will dictate your organization.
2. Grow in how your organization develops its internal cooperation. Everyone has two jobs: the main task and the task to cooperate with others. Developing job 2 is key for the future success.
3. In search of the operating model that fits best with the DNA of your organization. This is the canvas Jan De Visch has developed to illustrate the strengths and focus points of all of the new working models. There is no one size fits all … every organization has to look for its own way of working (together).

How to predict the success of self-management in your organisation?

How to centralize the customer, break silos and create upward team dynamics? What level of collaborative intelligence should you aim for?

These and many other questions will be answered 22nd March from 18.30h to 22.00h at Urban City, Ankerrui 9, 2000 Antwerpen where The Argonauts organise an info session on the future of work in cooperation with Participium, Vivaldis and Unizo.

You’ll learn how to predict the success of self-managament in your organisation, and how to establish feedback mechanisms for self- management: flexible planning mechanisms and dashboards.

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.
