LKCE19 - Patrick Steyaert - Agile Portfolio’s as Market Places - Autonomy meets Liquidity
Self-governance models (e.g. Holacracy, Teal organization, Sociocracy 3.0, …) as well as models for aligned autonomy(e.g.the 'Spotify model') have emerged to address the need for strategic agility.Strategic agility, however, requires more than autonomy and alignment.Suppose that you are working in an organization where you have multiple initiatives going on.On a regular basis work finishes and capacity becomes available(supply - side).At the same time customers– external as well as internal– are requesting new work to be performed(demand - side).Ideally, you can perfectly match the needs of newly arrived work with the capacity that has become available.In reality, however, work arrives when there is no free capacity or where the right type of capacity is not free;or, capacity becomes available when there is no new demand or where the demand is not of the right type. Whether we want it or not, organizations are market places where an ever - varying, ever - evolving demand is confronted with an ever varying, ever - evolving supply.These market places are internal, but reflect the external market place.As a reflection they can draw inspiration from these external market places in the way they are operated.In this presentation we will explore what it takes to run an 'agile portfolio' as an(internal) market place inspired on financial markets. We will start with laying out the structure of the portfolio as a market place(who trades what, and so on).In analogy to the concept of market liquidity that can be found in financial markets, we will explore organizational liquidity as a measure of how well supply and demand can be matched.We will take into account all the realities of a varying demand and a constrained supply and discuss why and how to improve liquidity.We will explore the concept of disintermediation(cutting out the middlemen), a hot trend in financial markets(e.g.with cryptocurrencies).Inspired by this, we will end with giving a glimpse of a possible future of internal market places that are regulated by a digicoin.The goal is to explore disintermediated liquidity as a powerful new way of self - organizing.
