Organizational transformation
First design, then AI. We work on both organizational design and relationship systems.
Book an initial consultation (60 min, free) (opens in a new tab)We hold sessions in Japanese, or in a mix of Japanese and English, using translation tools such as AI with your agreement where helpful. As a rule, we do not offer sessions entirely in English.
Situations we work with
- You want to draw the organization as it is and assess it.
- The effect of AI stays inside individual teams.
What we aim for
- A step-by-step move toward the organizational design agreed by leadership and the front line.
- The effect of AI reaching the results of the whole organization.
Diagnosis (Map and Assess)
Using the Org Topologies map, we draw the organization as it is and assess it: the scope of work and skills given to each team, dependencies between teams, and where decisions are made. This includes interviews and observation with both leadership and the front line. The deliverables are a map, an assessment, and recommendations.
Design and adoption (Design and Elevate)
Leadership and the front line agree on the target organizational design, then move toward it step by step through small experiments (Elevating Katas). This includes agile at scale. Which framework to use is chosen by the organization, after the organizational design. We design for the effect of AI to reach the results of the whole organization, not stay inside individual teams.
Working with relationship systems
When the shape of an organization changes, what moves is agreement in the leadership team, conflict between departments, and relationships in new teams. We work with these too, using systems coaching methods.
- Term: Org Topologies
- An organizational design method that maps where an organization is now and where it aims to be, based on the scope of work and skills given to its teams.
