Design Thinking Institute Launches
Ralf just posted about the launch of the Design Thinking Institute and already has a very good post about Organizational Democracy online, which is very much along the line of my thinking. Here is what organizational democracy is about:
Business
Conversations
Decentralized Networks
Leadership
Universal ideals
Strategy
Knowing when to be fast AND when to be slow
Giving up the delusion that you’re in control
profits and people
creating meaningful work
Being a great workplace for those who can thrive in a decentralized and dynamic environment
Making decisions
A quadruple bottom-line (financial, community, external environment AND internal environment)
ongoing participation in the things that matter
Great stuff really and especially important if you want to build up knowledge inside your company and keep people interested, motivated and sticking.
