I wonder how many (IT) companies copy fancy looking structures and processes some big companies introduce without understanding of why such artifacts exist and what is the theory they are based on.

I’ve seen it being done.

The more I read about #organizationDevelopment the more my head is filling with ideas of 1) how can I apply this at my current work and 2) where should I actually career-move next to be working with stuff like this full time?

After all I've pivoted already 3-4 times in my #work life to something new, some other interesting area. Looks like I'm on the edge of the next move.

Once again I’m reading #frankMartela’s research and articles and the more I do that the more I am convinced his organisation and work related research is unfortunately less widely read and results way less implemented the ideas are worth.

This is my opinion based on 10+ years of experience with his texts. Find him and read him if you have anything to do with workplace or hobby organisation development #OD.

Hi, folks in OD - why is there so little discussion and inclusion of Conway's Law in the world of #OrganizationDesign and #OrganizationDevelopment ?

If business outcomes (or at least products) are constrained by communication pathways, surely that is a major concern for OD?

Thanks to Adrienne Kovacs for sharing her insight on “"Enriching Communities by Applying CED Principles to Organizational Recruitment Practices,” for our August SFU CED Public Lecture.

Founder of Locum Home, Adrienne shared her wise recruiting practices that support the five principles of CED.
