Walking

30 April 2014

One of the simplest things you can do to help meetings get out of a funk is to have people go for a walk-and-talk. I often find groups stuck at tables first react to this idea with impatience and dislike; that’s the nature of being stuck in a rut, you

How organisations kill ideas

24 April 2014

Tim Kastelle has a great post about how organisations can help to foster new ideas or – more often – kill them off. This quote particularly caught my eye: Many managers like to run a tight ship that is focused on the task at hand—all business and no chit chat.

Persistence vs genius

15 March 2014

Incredible to think isn’t it, that the Chinese language started off as English in England, but then one person whispered it to another person… That’s how Milton Jones kicks off his comedy routine, according to this Guardian article on how various performers develop their material. In Jones’ case, there is

Double loop learning, the limits of reason and polite oppression

13 March 2014

Chris Argyris’s work on single- versus double-loop learning gets cited a lot by folks trying to get organisations working better. Here’s a classic article (pdf) in which Argyris explains his thinking. He points to the tremendous difficulty people have with genuinely challenging their own thinking.

13 March 2014

Simon Terry pulls together several different strands of thinking about the limits of management. The focus on efficiency and elimination of waste cuts us off from the biggest potential, our capacity to grow and innovate. I see many organisations struggling to get a quart of productivity into a pint pot of

Scaling or evolving?

28 February 2014

This post really interests me: Innovation for Development: Scaling Up or Evolving? As they complete some pilot experiments in development work the authors recognise that this is where they are expected to “scale up”. But they question whether the scaling notion really applies in complex situations: We found this type

The anti-listicle

31 January 2014

There seems to be a plague of listicles these days but one titled 12 Things Successful People to Do Before Breakfast is almost beyond parody. But Tara Sophia Mohr gives a thoroughly well-deserved pushback to its alpha male worldview. Hat tip: Tweet from Simon Gough

Harvesting open space

30 January 2014

I did an open space last year for the Campaign to End Loneliness. It was a good example of using open space as part of larger event; the morning was in a more traditional format and we used the afternoon for the more self-organising, conversational format. I just caught up

Retreats

22 January 2014

A client asked me for my thoughts on running retreats and I thought I’d share them here too. One of the main reasons for having a retreat is to create a different way of engaging with each other than happens in day-to-day meetings. Sadly, some events which are billed as

Conversational leadership

16 January 2014

David Gurteen tweeted this interesting article (pdf): Conversational Leadership: Thinking together for a change It makes a lot of sense to me pushing for a more conversational approach to leadership with an emphasis on creating engagement through good questions. This contrasts with the default style in many organisations of “messaging”
