Most organisations are trying to fix the wrong things. 🎉 Organisational Dysfunctions: Open Systems Theory Explains is out today! This book is written for developers and architects who have felt the friction without the language to describe it, for team leads and agile coaches who have watched transformation programmes produce the opposite of what they promised, and for managers and executives who have invested in change and wondered why so little of it stuck. Most lists of dysfunctions catalogue symptoms and suggest interventions for each one separately. This is a different kind of argument: one core explanatory mechanism that produces all of the symptoms, and one structural change that removes them. Foreword by Merrelyn Emery, co-developer of Open Systems Theory, and Alexandra Stokes, author of Empowered Agile Transformation. Diagnosis before treatment. Most organisations skip the first step. For anyone who has ever sat in a meeting and known exactly why it was failing, but not had the language for it. https://www.organisationaldysfunctions.com/ #OpenSystemsTheory #SocioTechnical #OrgDesign
