Struggling to navigate the complexity within your organization?
Research studies affirm the growing complexity in how organizations structure themselves. We also witness a surge in internal procedures, decision approvals, layers, interface structures in most organizations across sectors.
We believe several factors contribute to this phenomenon. The external complexity, uncertainty and continuous change directly infiltrates the organization’s internal operations. The human dimension plays as well as leaders often resort to technical solutions, believing they maintain control over the challenges they face. Sadly, these structural fixes (extra approvals, procedures, meetings, etc) often fail to address the root causes, leading to bureaucracy, frustration, disengagement, and inefficiency.
If you’re fine-tuning or starting-up your organization, here are three human-centered tactics to consider:
1. Minimize structures while focusing on empowered networks, critical behaviours, trust and fun.
2. Start with purpose, future success, the work to be done and the context around it.
3. Explore and grasp the full organizational potential by focusing on structural, motivational, and behavioural elements.
