Networks <->Hierarchies

Netværk over hierakier er temaet - og spørgsmålet er om du kender din organisation, hvilken værdi det skaber at gøre det og hvordan du kommer til det.

Vi får et oplæg om at arbejde med netværk fra Cai Kjær (https://twitter.com/caikjaer). Cai har tilmed erfaringer med ResponsiveOrg i Australien som han gerne vil dele ud af.

In the past there were big and complex tasks that required many people working on them. The 'transaction costs' involved to get coordination between people was high, so the concept of a Manager was introduced. As the number of Managers increased, a Manager of the Managers was created... and hierarchies formed.

This resulted in order, clarity of authority, rank, and power. They reinforced a single primary connection: manager to worker, and enabled a command and control style of leadership that was terrifically successful during the industrial era.

Today, technology and connectivity has increased our ability to self-organize, collaborating more easily across internal and external organizational boundaries. It is no longer necessarily true that coordinating through a Manager is more effective than people self-organizing. Working as a network allows us to organize with many different kinds of connections, and increased autonomy.
