Exploring Spiral Dynamics, Integral Theory, and Metamodernism with Dave Snowden through a Boxian lens. Critiquing pseudoscience and cultism in agile practices. Triopticon method for structured engagement. Transformative discussions and innovative thinking. Epistemic justice and pitfalls of clean language. AI-generated content vs. Thought Leaders' Quotes. Empowering teams through practical strategies. Closing thoughts and multiple ads.
Focus on incremental progress with small steps and micro nudges rather than transformational language.
Shift towards changing ecosystem between teams to induce collective change rather than focusing on individual transformation.
Implement continuous feedback systems like gamma systems to replace annual reviews and promote real-time recognition of patterns.
Emphasize the importance of data-driven decisions over superstitions and embrace continuous learning and adaptation for future improvement.
Deep dives
Avoiding Distractions in Organizational Change
Start by banning terms like 'transformation' and 'mindset.' Focus on where the team is currently and take small steps forward with micro nudges. Embrace the concept of adjacent possible to progress gradually. Use methods like trioptican to prevent facilitators from dominating discussions.
Collective Identities Over Individual Change
Shift the focus towards collective identities rather than individual change. Encourage interactions that change the ecosystem between teams, rather than trying to change individuals explicitly. Change the links between people to induce change and focus on how people interact within the team.
Continuous Feedback for Performance Reviews
Implement continuous feedback systems like gamma systems for annual performance reviews. Use real-time micro feedback at individual and team levels to recognize patterns over time. Move away from the tyranny of annual reviews that promote individual contributor mindset.
Recognizing and Addressing Patterns
Reflect on the importance of recognizing patterns in hindsight and using them as a guide for future actions. Avoid letting star signs or astrology dictate decisions and focus on data-driven and evidence-based practices. Consider the value of continuous learning and adapting to improve future outcomes.
Balancing Explicit and Implicit Learning
Challenge the notion that explicit articulation is necessary for individual and team learning. Use methods like continuous feedback and micro nudges to facilitate learning without the need for explicit articulation. Embrace patterns and real-time adjustments for ongoing development.
Moving Towards Authentic Change
Shift towards more authentic means of organizational change that go beyond superficial solutions. Emphasize collective growth and identity rather than individual transformation. Focus on practical steps and continuous feedback rather than theoretical or idealized approaches.
Engaging in Real-Time Learning
Embrace real-time learning and adaptation through continuous feedback mechanisms. Avoid reliance on rigid annual performance reviews and individual-focused approaches. Encourage teams to collectively evolve and adapt based on ongoing feedback and patterns.
A rebroadcast of a chat hosts Andy Cleff, Ben Au-Yeung, Serge Marten, and Jay Hrcsko had with Dave Snowden about Spiral Dynamics, Integral Theory, and Metamodernism. We explore thru a Boxian lens "All models are wrong, but some are useful." Are these effective tools for organizations to gain new perspectives on themselves? Are there other potentially better ways to journey in complex adaptive systems?
