Empowering Teams Through Self-Organization

Talk about a change management program— in 2022 my organization embarked on a journey to become less-hierarchical by leveraging self-organization not only in teams, but also at the system level.

From my perspectives as chief of staff tasked with helping to design and implement this change, and as a Northwestern lecturer in the MSLOC program, I will share insights about why such a change matters and how one goes about creating a human-centric approach to organizational change.

Attendees will gain actionable insights into how one might approach a new way of working that requires not only shifts on mental models of what work is now to how to engage with the entire organization to learn, design and experiment with new ways of working.
