Scale Creates Bureaucracy, Not Agility
- Organizations naturally evolve from networked start-ups into hierarchical bureaucracies as they scale.
- That hierarchy is efficient but not optimized for the continuous adaptation needed today, so both network and hierarchy are required.
Adopt A Dual Operating System
- Build a dual operating system: keep the hierarchy for daily reliability and add aligned networks for change initiatives.
- Let volunteers from the hierarchy join networked initiatives so the organization becomes both reliable and adaptive.
Use Volunteers And Short-Term Wins
- Recruit volunteers who feel passionate and give them clear short-term wins to sustain energy.
- Provide a clear vision, expected commitments, and visible early successes so people keep contributing.
