On the Journey towards the adaptive Organization

A short introduction into the GRADO Group

The adaptive organization

  • contains many principles, contents and values of lean and agility
  • takes a comprehensive view of today’s O

The group

The GRADO group (growing Adaptive Organizations) emerged from a series of working sessions by members of the DACH30 exchange group.

What patterns are there

Which experiences have become mainstream

What bad experiences are common? Rolling out a blueprint (“the Spotify model”)

As a GRADO (core) group, we are currently focusing on consolidating the map and discovering further patterns.
We do not want to duplicate existing content, but rather provide enough content to enable a common understanding of the term:

  • an introductory text for the relevant topics
  • the 3 (or so) most important sources

This is essentially the topic of the Meetup on 16.09.: https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/growing-adaptive-organizations/
It should be the prelude to a broadening of the initiative, what could come afterwards?

  • More examples of journeys and more patterns
  • more content for the “points of interest”

This is just one of the ideas for the Meetup on 16.09. Now I’m getting to how I’ve been passing the summer: with ideas for the next but one step:

  • more details, patterns, principles
  • a transformation architecture, as it is now fashionably called.
