Between spaces, scopes, and scales: What the scaling frameworks don’t tell you!

In a viable, deliberately adaptive organisation, how do the relationships between different organisational scales work?

Or the same question, but for the networked organisation?

And what does that mean for me?

Drawn from the Agendashift Academy’s latest module “Adaptive Organisation: Business agility at every scale”, this new talk integrates systems, complexity, and flow thinking (models such as the viable system model, the Cynefin framework, and Flight Levels) and shows how that with or without branded frameworks, many scale-related challenges reflect deep organisational imbalances that we can learn to recognise and address.

Feel free to bring your questions and your sharing spirit to this conversation.
