WINTalk Project Connect Keynote "Designing Organisations To Be More Human"

Editor's Notes

  1. You don’t have to wait for huge structural changes to started horizontal culture
  2. Started journey, living the future of work Running ventures that created learning labs for kids and then adults Bringing everything I’ve learned back to organisations
  3. What I hear my generation say: Agency Flexibility Autonomy Opportunities for learning Space to step into leadership Entrepreneurial opportunities Purpose and mission Meaningful projects across disciplines But also: infrastructure being built - digital nomads, gig economy, tech enabling freelance and entrepreneur
  4. How to attract and retain millennial talent? The smart millenials are all working for somebody else... usually themselves.
  5. I look out at the workplace and I see stress, layoffs, longer hours, work-family conflict, enormous amounts of economic insecurity. I see a workplace that has become shockingly inhumane. Seven percent of people in one survey were hospitalized — hospitalized! — because of workplace stress 50% had missed time at work because of stress. People are quitting their jobs because of stress. The business costs are enormous.
  6. The major sources of psychological stress at work are connected to hierarchical culture: poor relationship with one’s superior, lack of recognition, low participation in decision-making and governance. Organisations are struggling to attract and retain talent. Talented individuals leave to seek out better learning and development opportunities. We have grown up in a vertical culture and we can’t even see it.
  7. You don’t have to wait for huge structural changes to started horizontal culture
  8. It’s going to take practice, and it’s going to take all of us
  9. Learning practices embedded in work - sense-making, action, reflection Can we do these in a group? Can we make time after projects to reflect on how they went? Can we introduce feedback practices, and spend the end of a weekly meeting giving feedback? Can we get more intentional about our learning, and audit our own interest and skill level in different skills?
  10. Haier group has been described as the poster child of the platform organization transformation for several years now. It’s a networked model of self-managed Micro-Enterprises. “Embarking in a great unbundling (and re-bundling) process: the transformation is based on acknowledging that units, teams and, employees, are asked to become entrepreneurial, develop an internal locus of control. A true employee actualization — according to these companies — can only come through the expression of the self, through responsibility and autonomy.” Employees are entitled to organically create micro-enterprises to exploit opportunities that they see, how they can put their skin-in-the-game by investing, autonomously managing budgets and hiring processes, and team compensation. Micro enterprises Micro entrepreneurs Teams handle own budgets and profits and losses Also compensation system - employees get paid ‘by the customers’ - essentially in accordance with the value they create 80,000 employees They created market forces inside the firm Potential for Haier micro enterprises to become independent start ups, with a link to Haier Open innovation principles keep everyone aligned
  11. What if they became our training grounds to become more engaged, creative, collaborative and capable?
