Basic concepts of Galaxies management system (EcoAutonomous)
nattygur
The below concepts:
Are based on “Chaos Theory” and “Complex Adaptive Systems”.
Needed to be implemented to create Eco-Autonomous organization.
You can adopt all of them, part of them or one of them. Any concept adoption will increase your organizational readiness for the future.
1 – No central control
In contrast to the current management system and company structure, we propose decentralized, distributed and autonomous system and structure.
Decision making and authority distributed to the company’s groups and individuals.
2 – A company is a set of Entities and Functions
Entities are a grouping of other entities and function that need to work together to reach a common goal (groups in a classical organization).
Functions are defined behaviors for given internal/external events and defined interactions with other functions or entities (Duty in the traditional role).
3 – Purpose is the glue
Each element in the company must have a purpose that derived from the company purpose.
4 – Steered by the environment
There shouldn’t be any steering committees or governance body. Steering and governance are done by continuous getting feedbacks from the company environment.
5 – Clear definition of boundaries
Each Entity and Function have a clear definition of their responsibilities and artifacts they need to manage.
6 – Feedback loops
Each Entity and Function must have 5 metrics that indicate if the entity/function progressing toward reaching its goal.
7 – People are filling functions
People are Agents filling one or many functions in different entities.
Agents should fill functions based on their knowledge and experience.
8 – No Silos
Entities are set of agents with different expertise and experience needed to reach entity purpose.
Departments (or silos) of just one type of expertise with common experience should be replaced by non-siloed entities.
9 – Compensation based on contribution and company performance
Agents should be compensated based on company performance.
Agent compensation should be calculated base on the contribution of the functions he is filling.
Such compensation model motivates people to collaborate and increase company performance.
10 – Agents are following contracts
Agents are following predefine contracts.
If Agent continuously fails to fulfill contracts or presenting negative metrics, he is automatically released from function/s.
Other Entity agents are tasks with resolving the new situation.
11 – Agents can define their contribution level
Agents can fill one function that required small dedication to several functions that dedicate a lot of dedication.
They will be compensated by the contribution of the functions she is filling.
12 – Each entity can adopt a management system that fit agents memes
An entity is a collection of agents that have a common human psyche.
Each entity can adopt a management system that fit agents psychics.
13 – Merit base conflict resolution
Conflicts should be resolved based on a vote that factor people relevant experience and knowledge.
14 – Self-Organized
Entities should create their own order as a result of interactions between agents.
The internal structure of an entity is a result of agents interaction and subject to conflict resolution.
15 – Evolving
Equilibrium is death for any system, including organization.
Each entity must have a dedicated function to ensure an ongoing evolvement of the entity.
