What Can Creative Leaders Learn from Rockstars? (Annotated)tim richards
This is the annotated version of the original presentation, found here: http://www.slideshare.net/nanotim/re-design-2013learnfromrockstars
Originally presented at the RE:Design UXD Conference in Silicon Valley, 2013. Digital connections have changed the way that thoughts, feelings, and ideas move around the world, between people. Technology has also changed the very concept of a product, a service, and what marketing is. Creatives are leading more and more teams, and our various backgrounds may not have prepared us to lead.
The document discusses an innovative community mural project that aims to initiate creative spaces and dialogue. It emphasizes how murals can communicate multiple perspectives and collecting different interpretations allows participants to compare and discuss their designs. It also highlights how art has the power to open dialogue and connect people, and encourages participants to seriously engage with their work and the work of others. The project focuses on building up to the mural by having participants create icons to represent words completing the statement "There is a space where once stood our...". It stresses that inspiring spaces and conversations can inspire creative ideas.
This document discusses how to effectively collaborate on creative projects. It covers three phases of collaboration: 1) encounter and commitment, where collaborators get to know each other and commit time without a product goal; 2) exploration and negotiation, where collaborators actively engage with each other's practices; and 3) composition and production, where the work is created. It emphasizes the importance of open communication, defining roles and goals, and revisiting them throughout the process. Challenges like differing work styles and ego are addressed, as well as benefits like learning new perspectives and ideas greater than the sum of individual parts.
The II International Unconference of Dreams in Action focused on ideas and actions related to living in the era of art. The event included a presentation, video, and creative dialogue sessions that explored how to express and manifest beauty in the world. Participants shared reflections on how the unconference helped them connect with their creativity and desire to evolve, see new possibilities for positive change, and feel part of a network working to realize their dreams.
It is now 10 years since we got into Training, the last five of which have gone primarily in the space of developing Art-based methodologies. This has been a fascinating journey for us, a journey that has taken us overseas to nine countries, and inwards into deeper introspection and understanding of the human species.
In this our second edition of Concurence, we aim to see how our global connections have shaped us, and how we can connect more with them, and learn more from them. This edition is dedicated to our friends, partners and colleagues across the world, who work with us and help us grow.
We interview Ali Al Uraimi, Deputy Managing Director at the Middle East College in Oman and a great believer and patron of Art-Based learning, as he tells us how Creativity in campus has been enhanced through more Art-Based approaches.
My colleague Rajni Nair contributes from South Africa with two excellent pieces – on the fantastic work done by Business and Arts South Africa, on how a most novel project is aiming to merge Arts and Sciences to grow awareness on the ‘Highveld’.
Another colleague in the US, Marta Jascinska delivers a wonderful case on her work back in Poland, an innovative Art Taxi project.
Leonardo Previ weighs in from Italy with his regular piece that draws inspiration from Artur Koestler’s work and connects ‘bisociation’ to our learning efforts.
Our partner in Australia, Dr.Cathryn Lloyd writes about her work Down Under, in pushing the envelope across organisations ready to step out and try something new.
And there’s of course, more. A review of Ed Catmull’s brilliant book Creativity, Inc., a tribute to Charles Correa, a reprint the latest McKinsey Quarterly article on the The Simple Rules of Disciplined Innovation. And more.
Read on. Thank you for your fantastic feedback on our last issue. We learnt a lot and have tried to take in your suggestioin to make this issue more vibrant and exciting. Like our work.
Lydia Paar is seeking a professional development grant to attend the Alliance for Artist Communities Emerging Programs Conference in order to help grow her nonprofit arts exchange organization NOMAD and further her skills in residency program development, business planning, and nonprofit management, as the conference workshops will provide training relevant to both her personal artistic career and NOMAD operations. As a painter, writer and co-founder of NOMAD, Paar aims to foster creative communities but lacks formal business education, and this conference will help address gaps in her knowledge and skills for supporting her own work and that of other artists. Attending the conference aligns with Paar's
1) Learning from creative disciplines like art can provide benefits for business and society. Artistic backgrounds may help people analyze problems more easily, address issues with empathy, and collaborate effectively.
2) Attitudes from art, such as appreciating ambiguity and change, can also be useful for businesses dealing with uncertainty and complexity. Leaders can learn from how artists balance competing demands.
3) The document discusses ways that art and business intersect, such as through exhibitions, product design, and artistic interventions in organizations. It also considers perspectives on applying creativity outside of art.
Here are the key points about the relationship between How and Why in the creative process:
- Asking How questions focuses on craft and technique, while asking Why questions examines purpose and meaning.
- Creative work involves alternating between two states - near the work (How) and far from the work (Why) - like a painter moving between the easel and stepping back.
- When near, the creator focuses on production through How questions about technique. When far, criticism and Why questions assess how individual choices impact the whole work and its goals.
- Alternating between How and Why through different contexts produces a feedback loop that drives the work forward. Asking both types of questions is necessary for successful creative work.

This document is the introduction to a book about design titled "The Shape of Design". It discusses design as a process of movement from the designer's creation through publication and as the work moves between people and contexts. It frames design as a practice of imagining a better future and making things to enhance life for others. The book is divided into three parts that examine an individual designer's creative process, the cultural context around design, and how designers can better connect with audiences. The goal is to explore opportunities in design and assess how it can help people live well.
The document discusses several arts programs that are used in correctional facilities to enhance literacy skills and provide therapeutic benefits for inmates. It provides examples of writing, visual art, theater, and music programs that give inmates opportunities for creative expression to process emotions and develop important life skills. Resources are also listed that support arts initiatives in prisons and advocate for the role of arts in corrections.

Welcome to Cocooners.
This document provides an overview of a student's desk synthesis project to design a new interactive music instrument. The objectives are to open people's minds about music, explore music technology, and create a future music instrument that does not require musical knowledge. The student is motivated by a love of music and experimenting with new sounds. The concept involves human-computer interaction and MIDI samples within a cube-shaped platform. Similar existing instruments like the Kaossilator and Monotron are mentioned. The development of synthesizers and their capabilities is discussed. The conclusion is that the new instrument will allow those without musical skills to express creativity through technology.
[Challenge:Future] Life In YOUR Living Room: (R)evolution!Challenge:Future
Life in Your Living Room (LiYLR) is a movement that hosts musical performances and discussions about social projects in people's living rooms. It aims to inspire participants and support new ideas through a network of like-minded individuals. LiYLR events feature local musicians and entrepreneurs who share their stories. Participants feel empowered to become active change agents in their communities. LiYLR also partners with organizations to expand its reach and support youth leadership and social entrepreneurship. Its goal is to start a global revolution of peace-building initiatives through art and participation at the grassroots level, beginning in living rooms around the world.

Technology has created an infinite canvas upon which we all sketch. Focusing feels like an overwhelming request that often paralyzes the organization, forcing them to leap into fads. Unlimited choice continues to be the greatest obstacle in allowing the brain to focus on solving fundamental problems, as we mindlessly go about fixing issues.
In a talk that is designed to engage the mind, the audience and the heart, Jeff Parks will use the stage as his canvas to share experiences, theories, and lost arts while inviting the audience to step up and participate ...No slides.

This document provides details on Michele Prevato's professional experience in event planning, cultural management, and communications. Over the past 12 years, she has gained experience organizing both cultural and marketing events through her work founding Attualamente in Venice and with various communications agencies. She has learned skills in project management, working with different partners, monitoring emerging trends, and networking with stakeholders in various fields.
The first deliverable of my Final Project at CIID, this document consists of the process followed in arriving at a research question for my final thesis.

Negotiation Techniques

Annotated Outline: Negotiation Techniques
Purpose: To examine the best negotiation techniques
1. Introduction
· When businesses get tough, deal negotiators tend to endure intense pressure to strike the best deals for their companies.
· Wheeler & Wheeler (2013) offers critical insights on some of the best negotiation techniques to ensure a win-win-situation for the parties involved.
2. Recommendations for successful Negotiations
i. Always make the first offer
· It is always best to make the first offer in a negotiation because information is power.
· Individuals that make the first offer usually win terms that are almost closer to the company’s set target price.
· This is based on the psychological principle of anchoring that postulates that once a first number is set on the table, both parties to a negotiation start to negotiate based on it, thus setting the stage.
ii. Make as many counteroffers as possible
· From a psychological point of view, negotiators feel more comfortable and successful if a price tussle begins.
· Every seller and buyer want to feel included in the deal, having had a say on the final outcomes.
· Therefore, it is always good to allow slight declines from the first offer, thus allowing the other parties to feel in control of the negotiation.
iii. Share information
· According to Siedel (2014), sharing tiny bit of information with the other party creates some trust based on the principle of reciprocity, because people tend to match and reciprocate what has done to them.
· Wining the other party’s trust softens their stance on the first stake, hence allowing room for flexible negotiation.
iv. Rank priorities
· Siedel also proposes ranking priorities in order to know what aspect of the contract to compromise and maximize on the other.
· For instance, a company entering a negotiation may have to compromise on the price but maximize on building less profitable but long-term business deals with a sustainability perspective in them.
3. Win-Win negations.
· Making the first offer and allowing room for counter offers ensures compromise from each party, giving them to rank their priorities and only settle on an offer that meets the needs of each party.

This project proposes an interactive sound installation using floor projections and motion sensors. Participants can trigger different drum/percussion sounds by stepping on zones projected on the floor, allowing them to experience playing percussion without experience. The project aims to make drumming accessible in a fun way while also exploring its benefits for expression, healing, and community building. Precedent examples and floor plans are presented, along with rhythmic music demos and a storyboard conceptualizing the user experience.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.

3. 1.Intro
My journey around the theme of designing the flow of people and networks started in The
Netherlands in 2011 when I decided to transition from being an artist and cultural
entrepreneur to being an organization designer.
I had gathered over a decade of experience with networked organizations rallying up around
the strong purpose of producing one-of-a-kind multidisciplinary and multimedia productions in
the field of the lean and agile modern arts.
Five years ahead of that moment I had become member of two business networks: the SVE
(Stichting Vrouwelijke Entrepreneurs) and the FZ (Federatie Zakenvrouwen). At that moment I
wasn’t exactly sure of what was going to come out of it all, but what I definitely knew was that
I wanted to build a bridge linking business, modern self-organizing teams in the contemporary
arts, creativity and innovative organizations.
I had had a thing with organization and enabling positive change my whole life, so there I was
passionately curious to find a link between the arts and the non-arts.
During those five years I had the opportunity to see an innumerable amount of companies
from the inside and to listen to leaders and speakers in the field of innovation and
organizations: Arko van Brakel, Annemarie van Gaal, Jaap Boonstra, Rijn Vogelaar, Alexander
Rinnooy Kan and Marc Lammers, just to name a few.
Could I use the ability to trascend domains that I had developed within the arts to cross even
more sectors?
I counted on the enthusiasm and active support of Syntens advisors Dirk van Vreeswijk and
Wilfred Backers. Wilfred Backers also handed me an article by Frank Barrett and said: ‘If this is
jazz to organizations, what is contemporary music to organizations?’
Harry van Ingen, the Socratic coach who saw me give my first steps in organization land
literally pushed a book by Ricardo Semler into my hands: ‘Read this, I think it looks like an
ensemble of contemporary music but in a factory in Brazil. And they make machines, not
music.’
Around that time I also became a speaker for the Speaker’s Academy. I remember introducing
my ideas to Albert de Booy. If a few years earlier my composer friend Toek Numan had given
me Arnold Cornelis’ book ‘Delayed Time’ (Dutch: ‘De vertraagde Tijd’) about interdependence
(communicative self-management), I left Albert de Booy’s impressive library in the basement
of the Speakers Academy with The Logic of Feeling (Dutch: De Logica van het Gevoel). Belgian
philosopher and social theorist Arnold Cornelis and Albert had been friends, he said. Besides
being CEO of the Speakers Academy Albert is also a composer. That was one of those rare
moments when everything seems to come together in one single instant.
My first paid project as an organization designer came from an IT company in Utrecht (NL) in
2012: ‘We would like everyone around here to become self-steering and to behave more as an
entrepreneur and less as an employee’, I was told.
With the experience developed during a decade of both interpreting networked scores (music
pieces notated by a composer with graphic symbols) on the stage, and coming together in
networked organizations off the stage to realize multidisciplinary productions, I ‘intuitively’
started to focus on the needs of the company: Why did they exist? What was their purpose?
What was their strategy?
My departing point was not who are the employees and what is each one of them supposed to
be doing but what are the needs of the company and can current employees answer those
needs. That meant a reshuffle of the company: existing employees would have to adopt roles
of3 14
4. and most likely perform several of them at the same time, some would probably have to leave
and perhaps new ones would have to be hired.
So there I was, ‘intuitively’ helping a company move away from functions and towards roles
and turning it into a modern music ensemble. Little did I know at the time that what I was
doing actually had a name.
The project was relatively easy for a number of reasons:
It was a small company of 12 people
The project lasted just a couple of months
Employees were creative software developers used to putting new products out there
continuously
The distance to the power, both figuratively and physically, was short, everyone could
easily talk to everyone
Knowledge was power
The ease of the project had also most likely to do with the fact that it was not so far away from
where I was coming from professionally.
Where was I coming from?
In The Netherlands I gathered 15 years of experience with self-organization around a clear
purpose both on the stage (within ensembles performing visually notated music) and off the
stage (within teams initiating and realizing multidisciplinary and multimedia productions).
2. Graphic Scores & Dromomania: Self-Management on and off the stage.
Multiple skills, interdependence and the networked collaboration.
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life - Immanuel Kant
Music is organized sound - Edgard Varèse
Gaël Navard
Hexagonie
of4 14
5. On the stage - Graphic Scores
Hexagonie is a piece of music.
Whereas classical music is notated making use of five lines with dots on and in between the
lines (a score), living composers also make use of graphic notation when traditional classical
music proves ineffective, the result being a graphic score. The example seen above is a graphic
score of an ensemble piece. The aim of such a composition is mostly a research of new kinds
of interactions between the score and the musicians.
It is meant as a new type of 'chamber music' away from the chamber music played in
traditional settings.
A graphic score is:
A serious game that allows expert musicians to develop new skills in real time while being
care-free. Based on the instructions given in a legend, the players will be able to make
different choices towards organizing the interaction. A symbol will trigger a gesture which
will generate a new technique that in turn will generate a new type of sound. Graphic
notation allows a musician to put aside everything he or she knows and to approach things
with an open and fresh mind. It is a way of communicating that activates performers
emotionally, allowing them to achieve that ‘something else’.
An iterative process of learning. There will be no such thing as a wrong performance. The
first performance can be seen as a 'minimum viable product' (a 'product' that is not perfect
but that somehow already works) and each time the game is played, the players will have
a better understanding of the piece making each subsequent performance different and
better.
A process to improve the enjoyment of work. The development of new skills and sounds is
experienced by experimental musicians as joy. The experimental musician lives for going to
places where he or she has never been before.
A graphic score:
Contains just a few rules that are clear, easy to remember (do not need to be repeated all
the time), known to everyone through a legenda, and easily accepted (no need for endless
meetings to reach consensus). The responsibility for the end result lies within every player
and everyone at the same time.
Allows everyone involved to have an overview of whole processes (most organizations are
very fragmented, killing innovation)
Creates structure and a feeling of cohesion and coordination.
Is a flexible grid that says what needs to happen but leaves enough room for one’s own
interpretation.
Promotes self-organization, self-selection and self-governance.
Off the stage - Dromomania: a production for two mobile grand pianos, two pianists,
(live) electronics and lasers
Graphic scores show that only two ingredients are necessary for self-organization: a clear
purpose and a few restrictions or boundaries.
of5 14
6. The same dynamics apply to the realization of a production. In the case of Dromomania the
clear purpose was to create a new performance for two mobile grand pianos, two pianists,
(live) electronics and lasers. The restrictions were the deadlines and different requirements of
the different public funders, the agreed-upon number of performances and rehearsals before
hand, and the needed budget.
Whereas musical events are placed on a graphic score serving as a grid, the events having to
be placed within the constraints of Dromomania were, among others:
Finding a private sponsor for the two grand pianos as most experimental venues hardly
have one grand piano
Writing the actual proposals for the different public funders
Networking to find partners and define short and long term strategy
Negotiating fees with the different venues
Catering, transportation and hotels
Recruiting the necessary personnel
Administration & Payroll
Making flyers and promoting the production off and online, including the social media
strategy
Composing the music
Making the soundscapes and writing the code for the live electronics and lasers
Learning the music
Learning to play with electronic devices to excite the strings of the grand pianos in different
ways and integrating those events with the normal playing of the keys
Learning to move the grand pianos on the stage while performing
The team of Dromomania consisted of about fifteen people.
Officially Marko Ciciliani was the composer and myself, Sonsoles, one of the pianists. In reality
and just like while performing graphic scores, Marko and I did more than our original jobs of
composing and playing, and taught ourselves many new skills.
Marko:
Composed the music and wrote the code for the electronics
Was the technician on the stage during all of our performances
Designed the flyer
Wrote a powerful piece of text for our public funders
Promoted the production through social media
Myself:
Negotiated a sponsor deal with Steingraeber & Söhne, a German piano brand that delivered
two grand piano’s valued at € 100000 each for our five concerts in The Netherlands plus
one in Nuremberg (DE)
Negotiated fees with all concert venues
Recruited team members and did the administration including payments
Played the piano keys, played the strings with different devices and made use of theatrical
elements on the stage
Promoted the production through social media
Other members of the team also performed tasks that had little to do with their original
(classical) studies.

7. In the intro, when I wrote about my first paid project as an organization designer for an IT
company I mentioned that it had been a reasonably easy project. The working dynamics I was
acquainted with and those of the IT company lied close to each other. Both scenarios are
knowledge-driven and the distance to the power is short.
The question I set myself to answer was: could I redesign a very large organization too?
3. An assembly line of notes: the siloed symphony orchestra and classical music
institutions
After the project at the IT company in Utrecht I ran into other experiences which were not as
easy-going. For instance, while exploring the subject of high performance through simple open
questions during a project at a large food company I was awestruck by the resistance of the
group. It became clear that the distance between where the company was, and self-
organization and the accountability that goes with it, was simply too big.
I needed a design methodology to close that gap.
Was the difficulty related to just the size of the companies?
It seemed to me that it had mostly to do with different interrelational dynamics.
In the networked organization I was familiar with, the interaction was in service of a purpose.
In these other organizations I was approaching now, social rank seemed to determine the flow
of the work and in many cases the lack of it.
I would like to refer to these two different dynamics as ‘the social into the flow of work’ versus
‘the work into the flow of the social’ respectively.
At the start of my paper I mentioned that my focus on designing the flow of people and
networks had started in 2011 when becoming an organization designer. In reality, I had
already touched the subject when settling down in Amsterdam after my Master’s graduation in
New York.
Between my 5th year and my Master’s graduation and before I settled down in Amsterdam, I
too had been bred in mastodontic organizations with strong hierarchical structures.
of7 14
8. What does a symphony orchestra look like?
High specialization: if you play the violin you don’t play the double-bass
High segmentation: each section has a principal for that specific section
The conductor operates as a CEO that holds tight control over the whole
It is run by fear: thou shall not make a mistake!
What did classical music education look like?
High specialization: once more, if you play the violin you don’t play the double-bass
Rank of peers determined their authority
Every student learned the same things and in the same way, there was no diversity and no
deviating from the academic plan
It was also run by fear: thou shall not make a mistake!
Just recently, while interviewing someone in an IT support role within a governmental
organization, he said: ‘If there is a problem, I have been told to look at the VIP list. If a VIP
has an issue, I must solve it within four hours. If the name of the person is not on the VIP list,
sixteen hours are allowed to pass’.
What do these three organizations have in common?
Hierarchy, social ranking. The work, the why, has been plugged into a social web of classes.
Redesigning an organization is in fact altering the existing power dynamics.
My choice to settle in Amsterdam was based on an intrinsic need to break free from restrictive
traditional structures. I wanted to be a professional from a place of joy, not fear. In Amsterdam
I discovered entirely new structures where the governance was designed around a clear shared
goal.
As an organization designer, the experience at the large food company left me asking myself
two questions:
If my need to discover new structures had been an intrinsic one, could I possibly turn
companies around whose need for change was mostly imposed by outside forces?
If redesigning a large and bureaucratic organization was in fact altering the existing power
dynamics, was there a workable framework to do so?
4. STSL: design in the name of strategy!
The model of The Netherlands and Belgium: an integral framework for the design of
organizations (De Sitter, van Amelsvoort, Kuipers, Kramer, Eijnatten)
The answer to both questions is yes! It is possible with STSL.
Organizations whose need for change is brought about by external forces are not capable of
generating that change from the inside out because they operate within a system that is
somewhat isolated from the outside world. Within that context, making employees take
responsibility and be accountable tends to scare everyone.
of8 14
9. By searching for boundaries in the work process and eliminating interferences I now as an
advisor can reduce complexity while at the same time creating new organizational building
blocks. As the process is optimized each new organizational unit can concentrate on a specific
group of customers, products or services. This brings about new possibilities for both
increasing operational control and for responding proactively to specific customer
requirements. Resistance to change is reduced and a new door opens towards self-
management.
If some forty years of traditional sociotechnology (STS) had disregarded the business need and
had mainly focused on improving process (the micro level), Ulbo de Sitter, the founder of
STSL, developed an integral organizational design theory that departs from strategy and
acknowledges the human and the technological as interdependent: different and both
necessary. Technology without people or people without technology produce empty systems.
STSL addresses the micro, meso and macro levels simultaneously and does so twice: from the
whole to the parts (macro to micro) when designing the work process and from the parts to
the whole (micro to macro) when designing the management structure.
The integration of both technological and human factors results in a redistribution of power in
the form of a new interaction network not only within the organization itself (management and
employees) but also with unions and workers’ councils.
I still hear someone telling our team repeatedly: ’Remember to invite the union and to make
them part of the change process!’, while working on a case in the automotive sector in a
production plant near Bruges.
Another important development of our time is the necessity to work past the age of 65.
Can we work longer and do so with gusto?
Can we reduce stress, increase autonomy and enjoy more learning possibilities?
Today, more and more, companies are being asked to deliver unique products and services and
to do so under extreme time pressure. The current volatilty of our markets demands from our
organizations to be adaptive and innovative in order to stay in business. A good price and good
quality don’t seem to be enough anymore. If the behaviour of the market has a direct impact
on how we organize ourselves, today’s developments are asking more than ever for collective
awareness of whole processes, alignment between the different departments and layers of our
organizations, and cooperation.
In light of all these developments STSL has provided me with a workable and attractive
framework for positive change that rests on three pilars at the same time: improving the
quality of working life (the autonomy felt by employees leads to more engagement and in turn
to less absenteeism), the quality of the organization (productivity, flexibility and innovation)
and the quality of working relations (openness, participation and partnership).

10. 5. The ADVISOR as a pianist's left-brain
Remember the cover image of this paper? Well, I am not Chinese!
I am an artist!
And not because I can play the piano, which I can, but because equipped with over
fifteen years of experience with the networked organization and now with the STSL
framework, I today have at my disposal a broad spectrum of organizational possibilities
between the bureaucratic organization on the left side of the spectrum and the
extremely lean and agile organization on the other end. STSL was the missing link I
found myself asking for when standing at the large food company.
I am also thrilled to have discovered that the link between the process-driven
organization and the networked organization is the self-organizing team. If the future of
work is networked I now feel empowered with a new mission: I support organizations
towards communicative self-management.
Innovation is not about a technique that we stick to for the rest of our days. Innovation
is foremost about understanding and embracing change.
I can now, in Jaap Boonstra style, be the advisor who comes in, observes as unbiased
as possible, forms herself an idea of how it could be, and as an artist, goes on to shape
that new reality together with others.
Playing the piano is a whole-brain activity. With left-brain Lean STSL practices and tools
I prepare the way for organizations to becoming agile so they can better adapt to ever-
changing market conditions.
How about that ‘together with others’ and adapting to ever-changing market
conditions? That's where the right-brain comes in.
6. The TEAM and EXECUTIVE COACH as a pianist's right-brain:
from assembly line to collaboration
If left-brain lean practices pave the way towards becoming more adaptive, human-
centered right-brain Design Thinking is the secret sauce that organizes that
adaptability, holds teams together, and makes them effective and productive when
solving today's organizational wicked problems. And Systems Thinking is the sauce's
base that holds the interaction of the different parts and stakeholders. Even if
(re)designing just a part, the work can be greatly impactful and empowering by
improving the performance of the system as a whole.
Systems Thinking adds to Design Thinking the need to bring the whole system to the
discussion from the beginning. If problem formulation is the first step in the design
process, then adopting a systems mindset can help with framing and reframing
problems. The two approaches complement each other and each incorporates elements
of the other implicitly.
In the business world, Design Thinking is most often associated with product
development. But it is its value to services, systems, and processes that I bring to the
table in an organizational climate in which everything from management to recruitment
still stubbornly resembles an assembly line of interchangeable parts, but our markets
are more like a tour de force of constantly changing variables.

CORPORATE TEAM
11. In the transition from command and control/linear thinking/infinite financial resources
to collaboration/systems thinking/finite financial resources, and on our way to the
future of work, I help organizations become high performing in a design thinking kind
of way, while leveraging the interconnectedness provided by Systems Thinking, with
tools and frameworks that promote effectiveness, productive scaling, continuous
learning and modern decision-making.
The members of the vibrant and high-performing team described in chapter two are
experienced, highly intelligent and have an intrinsic motivation to develop themselves.
The glue holding them together is design thinking, the human-centered approach to
design that takes advantage of their different backgrounds to spur collaboration and
creativity. Radical collaboration works on the principle that people with very different
backgrounds each bring distinctive technical and human experiences to the team,
increasing the chance that the team will have empathy for those who will use what
they are designing. Besides, the collision of those different backgrounds will generate
truly unique solutions.
The reality of many organizations is different, though. That has to do with different
levels of motivation and intelligences, but also with the nature of specific kinds of
works.
How realistic is it to think that effective collaboration can be stimulated in every type of
organization?
From the perspective of the dynamical systems theory, systems are complex and
adaptive. This is supported by what looks like a new direction we are moving into, in
which the world is going to be more and more co-sensed an co-created.
Today we need to innovate, to generate engagement and to create healthy work in
what looks like the age of no retirement, and we can do so by tapping into the creative
intelligence of the collective.
In my work with groups I use serious games and Organization and Relationship
Systems Coaching tools that enable productive team creation and participatory
leadership. One of my favorites is Deep Democracy. It acknowledges the minor voices
within a group, aligns inner work with analysis, strategy and organizational
development by constantly keeping track of how the power is working in the moment,
and allows groups to tap into the innate creative and entrepreneurial capabilities
inherent to all humans regardless of development at any given moment.
As a corporate team coach, I facilitate processes to co-create robust strategies and significant
innovation. If coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process
that allows them to reach their maximum potential, I partner with clients as process
navigators to help them reach their ultimate goals, the end result being better policies,
programs and service systems, designed by much more effective teams. By empowering all
stakeholders from the beginning, it becomes possible to tap the creative energy of every
participant so that innovative ideas emerge from the collective of the differing perspectives.
The ideas generated become more easily implemented and maintained because the
stakeholders involved are the ones who came up with the solutions in the first place. In this
way, the resistance to change processes dissipates.
When designing powerful executive relationships and teams, issues of power will always arise.
Thanks to Process Oriented Psychology and the Diamond Power Index, I have a workable
frame to address power imbalances.
