When transforming organizations and other social systems we encounter obstacles. These obstacles often involve changing other people’s behaviors. Of course, we cannot really make people behave in a different way. But… we can certainly try!
Does a company really need a head office? The new organizational structure of the 21st century is the network, not the hierarchy. And the focus of management should be on leadership, not governance. But how can you organize this?
Many people in the world don’t really like their jobs. And most organizations are not healthy. They are badly prepared for increasing complexity and changing environments. Complexity thinking suggests we should seek a diversity of conflicting perspectives. It explains that organizations need experiments. And it says most innovation happens by stealing and tweaking existing ideas.
The number one issue that employees in agile organizations struggle with is “organizational culture”. The biggest challenge that managers of agile organizations struggle with is “change management”. It turns out that this is actually the same problem. Changing an organization’s culture, by changing people’s behaviors, is most successful when you target people’s intrinsic desires. Using my champfrogs model for intrinsic motivation, I show you how you can get any colleague or customer to do what you want.
Excellent speaker, spoke of approach to complexity like a guy spoke how to pick up a models to his frinds at pub. Minimalistic and effective.

Fascinating style of reaching something in people's brains & hearts: minimalistic but bright visual materials, colorful talk. Full fledged positive reinforcement ;)
Not really cons, but suggestion: it would be great to include examples of ideas implementation in real world environment (not on the Belgium roads of course :) but among our IT crowd!)
