"The fact that formal, hierarchal organisations require ever more rules, regulations and control to function, is a clear indication that this model has reached the end of its operational lifespan. Luckily we now have something much better!"Evert Bleijenberg MBA
In the last 25 years, the rate of change and complexity in our world has increased to the point where traditional, hierarchal organisations no longer function. They struggle to set a strategy, organise change, reach their goals and their expected results don’t materialise. They exhibit an obsessive focus on efficiency and formal structure at the peril of stakeholder inequality and demotivation, and increased societal and ecological mismatches. As a result, many fail to create value for their stakeholders and perish.The problem is caused by the difference between the exponential change, a direct result from Digital/AI technology. And our inability to rapidly adapt to those changes. To become future proof, organisations will have to develop a mindset and behaviour of continuous adaptation and harmonious flow. The Swarm Organisation model is designed to address this challenge. If you are an entrepreneur, business leader or policy maker, you cannot afford to miss this innovation.
Swarm Organisation provides a very practical alternative for hierarchy as the main driver of control, it includes a clear methodology to capture the wisdom of the crowd, and it offers a very powerful the Swarm Scan. In this book, scientifically proven insights are being made practical for managers. An absolute must-read.
