Flight Levels zeigen, wo in einer Organisation entschieden wird: operativ, koordinativ, strategisch. Verschachtelte Work–Feedback Loops zeigen, ob diese Ebenen tatsächlich lernen.

Flight Levels show where decisions live in a system. Nested Work–Feedback Loops show whether those layers actually learn. Flight Levels describe operational, coordination, and strategic decision spaces. Useful. But structure alone does not guarantee adaptation.

“We already have feedback.”

That sentence often marks the end of learning.

Most organizations do not suffer from a lack of signals. They collect user input, run surveys, track incidents, analyze metrics, and review performance data in detail. The information is present. What is missing is the structural ability to respond.

We are entering the “always-on personal agent” phase.

Tools like OpenClaw promise a local AI that lives your devices and in your tools.

Persistent. Routed. Autonomous. That sounds powerful. It should also make you uncomfortable.

I’m less worried about “AI taking over.” I’m worried about something more structural: Loss of observable feedback.

Agility at scale is not about synchronizing frameworks.
It is about managing Nested Loops.

Large organizations don’t learn in a single cycle. They learn through multiple, interconnected feedback loops operating at different speeds and levels of abstraction.

If those loops are not physically coupled, you get what I call:

Disconnected Agility.

Most organizations don’t lack feedback. They lack the ability to act on it.

In this video, I explain the Work–Feedback Loop — a simple lens to understand how work systems actually learn.

“We already have feedback.”
That’s often where learning stops.

Most orgs don’t lack feedback — they lack the ability to act on it. Surveys, metrics, incidents… and no change.

Feedback is only feedback if it changes the next piece of work. If change is slow, risky, or expensive, systems ignore signals.

Feedback problems are work problems.

Work–Feedback Loop:
Learning speed = response speed.

We measure how fast we deliver. But we rarely measure how fast we correct. Many systems look fast on paper: short cycle times, frequent releases, busy pipelines.

And yet, the same problems persist for weeks or months. Why Because delivery speed only tells you how fast work moves forward. It tells you nothing about how fast feedback actually changes work.

This is the blind spot I call Feedback Response Time.
