How can companies address the intersection of technology, complexity and humanity in order to be “ready” for the 21st century?   How can we change mindsets and an organization’s “operating system” in order to foster continuous and participatory change? Tune in to this week’s featured episode of the Team Coaching Zone podcast where special guest Aaron Dignan shares his views on these and other important questions challenging today’s organizations. Aaron Dignan is the Founder of The Ready—an organization design and transformation partner that helps organizations change the way they work.

In this episode of the podcast, Aaron shares his journey to founding The Ready and his mission to changing how the world works by examining and transforming how we show up, organize, team and get things done in organizations. Some themes explored in the episode include:

  • 3 forces influencing companies and the future of our species: technology, complexity, humanity
  • “Operating Systems” as a metaphor for seeing organizations as complex adaptive systems
  • Examining current tensions within an organization and how they can be transformed to drive continuous participatory change
  • The Operating System Canvas – 9 areas for organizational diagnosis and visioning
  • Services provided by The Ready
  • Two case examples of organizational intervention facilitated by The Ready: one involving decision making and transforming a company’s “meetings culture” and a second case involving an agile transformation
  • The role of emergence in organizational consultation and change
  • Dynamic teaming and more

As the world becomes increasingly complex and uncertain, traditional ways of organizing are holding us back. The Ready provides organizational design and transformation consultants and coaches with a vision as well as practical insights for how institutions can be reinvented to thrive as adaptive networks fit for the 21st century. This is an episode that all team coaches cannot afford to miss. Tune in today and get Ready to upgrade your game!
