Craig Larman on Org Topologies: “What I appreciate about this thinking tool that it is a big tent not limited to a single optimization goal such as high adaptiveness.”

This talk will briefly introduce the concept of Org Topologies, focusing on the innovative mapping idea that underpins this thinking tool. We will help the audience build vocabulary to distinguish traditional organizations from the elevated ones.

Once the core ideas are laid down, we will discuss different optimization goals and corresponding org design options illustrating them with the Org Topologies mapping technique.

We will touch upon the Elevating Katas - guides that help elevate organizations. And of course we will touch upon the implications of AI as a strategic enabler and the kata #1 for elevating organizations.
