Niels is a tour de force on a mission to create a world of 'Beta' organisations. He borrows the 'beta' concept from software development, where 'beta' systems are constantly being iterated. Beta organisations are decentralised and comprise small, self-sustaining autonomous teams in the mould of Handelsbanken or Buurtzorg. Niels claims his beta model is the best a company can adopt to thrive in complexity and to enable human flourishing. Niels pulls no punches in describing our present management paradigm, nor his views on applying complexity science in business. Niels shares: - Why command and control 'Alpha' organisations stink - The difference between Blue (complicated) and Red (complex) systems - Why complexity frameworks are BS - The issue with consent-based decisions making - How to transform to a decentralised 'Beta' organisation in 90 days Links: Organize for Complexity - The Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Organize-Complexity-High-Performance-Organization-Publishing/dp/0991537602/ Niels' Website - https://www.nielspflaeging.com/ gomenius - https://www.qomenius.com/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhtD4INjxBs

McCarthy and Zelle Nelson, Co-Founders and Co-Directors of the Center for Collaborative Awareness. Maureen's life is a wild story. Doctors told her she would die young of a rare, genetic lung disease with no cure in sight. She couldn't change her body, so she decided to change her mind. Knowing that she might die at any time, with her partner Zelle, they had to figure out how to live each day, not knowing if there would be a tomorrow. We discuss: - Getting married every day - Consciously designing relationships - Finding joy with 10 per cent lung capacity - Publishing your 'Blueprint of Me' - Radically rethinking business contracts Links: The Center for Collaborative Awareness - https://www.collaborativeawareness.com/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv-UFiEEIVU
