In changing times we need to transform how we communicate and collaborate
For the last hundred years, we have treated organisations as machines. This mechanistic way of organising and leading, which we call "Directive Leadership" worked well during the Industrial Age, a time of much greater relative stability. Today, however, organisations need to be capable of both driving disciplined execution at scale, while also developing the collective agility and innovation needed to adapt to continuous change.
At Living Systems, we create ambidextrous organisations by developing the capacity for Collective Intelligence. It is not intended to replace traditional Directive Leadership, but to sit alongside it as an alternative approach, depending upon the situation. Based upon the principles of how nature adapts to disruption in natural ecosystems, Collective Intelligence enables teams and whole ecosystems to break through their most complex and critical challenges, while also developing the collective agility and innovation needed to adapt to stay resilient.
