Org Physics: How a triad of structures allows companies to absorb complexity

Org Physics: How a triad of structures allows companies to absorb complexity | Systems Change and Evaluation | Scoop.it
Within the three structures of organizations, thee three kinds of leadership reside. All important, but dramatically out of balance in most organizations we know:

Compliance Leadership - emerging from Formal Structure.
Social Leadership - emerging from Informal Structure.
Value Creation Leadership - emerging from Value Creation Structure.

Following this thought, there is not "leadership". But "leaderships". Just like the three structures they emerge from, these types of leadership are interdependent and complex, not independent or linear. In the presence of too much hierarchy, or formal power, the two other kinds of leadership are actually quite impossible to happen: Social density and connection will deteriorate. Members of the organization will find it harder to get the work done, while they game fhe formal structure and its complicated mechanics of steering and control. Organizational energy is wasted on bureaucracy (Formal Structure), and self-defence against command-and-control from the top, carried out within Informal Structure.

Equity and Collective Impact (SSIR)

Equity and Collective Impact (SSIR) | Systems Change and Evaluation | Scoop.it
In this three-part series, the Aspen Forum for Community Solutions, FSG, and PolicyLink share perspectives on the importance of embedding an explicit focus on equity throughout any collective impact effort. Articles address the need to acknowledge and more deeply examine structural inequities and the root causes of outcome disparities; provide concrete examples of how to intentionally bringing equity considerations to the forefront of collective impact efforts; and point to tools and resources practitioners may want to consider applying in pursuit of lasting and systemic social change. The series marked the launch of a formal partnership between these three organizations to shine an even brighter spotlight on equity considerations in collective impact. #EquityandCI
