Is it time to advance the practice of service design? Ben Reason and Patrick Quattlebaum think so. They're veteran service designers and co-authors of a pair of Rosenfeld books—Service Design: From Insight to Implementation and Orchestrating Experiences respectively. Ben, founder of LiveWork Studio, and Patrick, who founded Harmonic Design in Atlanta, join Lou to talk about launching a new Rosenfeld conference—Advancing Service Design—designed to highlight the service design's potential for a new generation. They see opportunities for service design to go deeper—by integrating with and strengthening existing practices, like product management and agile, and broader—by better connecting systems that span multiple organizations (think healthcare). Working with the Rosenfeld team, they're creating a conference program that you can be a part of—they describe the kinds of presentation proposals they're looking for from prospective speakers. Patrick and Ben hope you'll join them in advancing service design; the conference will take place virtually December 3-4.

Quali elementi possono garantire il benessere dei lavoratori e loro talenti? Come ritornare a casa può essere una scelta consapevole? Su questi temi ho avuto modo di confrontarmi con Donatello Macario, Wellbeing & Employee Experience Consultant focalizzato su Open Innovation e Change Management. In questa chiacchierata abbiamo esplorato i principali elementi che hanno il potere di contribuire al benessere dei lavoratori, non soltanto a livello teorico, ma anche e soprattutto pratico e vissuto da Donatello sulla sua stessa pelle. In particolare, vediamo come i suoi valori e la sua esperienza lo abbiano consacrato come un traditore di tradizioni! Per approfondire
Whether it's in front of clients or in front of a mic, we talk about change all day long. Having fewer, better meetings; learning to productively disagree; overhauling and evolving the HR function; exploring four-day work weeks—the podcast has covered miles and miles of transformational ground in 4 years. However we don't often talk about how we've changed. And after six seasons and 162 episodes, how could we not be different? We used the show's hiatus to reflect on where we've been and where we want to go—and we reached some bittersweet conclusions. But if we resisted change and all the learning and joy that can come with it, we wouldn't be The Ready. In this very special episode, Aaron Dignan, Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin talk about Brave New Work's origin story, what they've learned making all these episodes (it was 162, right?), and what the show's future may hold. Trust us, you won't want to miss it. This episode was recorded with video, so you can see our smiling faces on The Ready's Youtube channel.

Sometimes, Rodney and Aaron stop by other people's podcasts to nerd out on the hits we know and love: new ways of working, self-management, breaking down the binary between chaos and bureaucracy, the future of work—the list goes on and on. So today, we're actually bringing one of those awesome conversations right to your ears. Aaron recently joined Morra Aarons-Mele on her show, The Anxious Achiever, for an epic chat about mental health, the workplace, and disrupting the systems that can reward and reinforce unhealthy behavior. We hope you enjoy the exchange and we'll return with a fresh episode of Brave New Work soon. To tune in for more episodes of Morra's show, head to her website or search "The Anxious Achiever" wherever you get your podcasts. ------- This episode originally aired on October 26th, 2022 on The Anxious Achiever with Morra Aarons-Mele, presented by LinkedIn. Aaron Dignan is founder of The Ready - an organizational transformation and coaching practice. He focuses on how to prioritize adaptivity and autonomy over efficiency and control - which you can pretty quickly extrapolate into upsides for mental health of workers and leaders. He's also the author of the book Brave New Work - and cohost of the podcast of the same name. Host Morra Aarons-Mele speaks with him about he helps organizations and individuals realize they need to change, and how he guides them through that transformation. About The Anxious Achiever: Host Morra Aarons-Mele is on a mission to reframe how we think about anxiety and mental health in the workplace. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S. We desperately need better models for leadership and a more holistic view of mental health. Our culture tells those of us who suffer from anxiety and depression that we can't succeed, but we tell a different story — without sugarcoating the tough stuff. We feature stories from people who've been there and experts who can help you thrive.
What if you could change the way your company operates, even if you're not the CEO? Aaron Dignan believes it's possible, and in this episode he's offering a wealth of insights into how organizations are run, the perils of stagnant bureaucracy, and all the various hurdles keeping us from doing our best work. As the founder of The Ready - a global organizational transformation and coaching practice - Dignan helps companies large and small adopt new forms of self-organization and dynamic teaming. He's worked with clients such as American Express, Microsoft, Citibank, Hyatt, Johnson & Johnson, Airbnb, and Sweetgreen. He's also an active angel investor who helps build partnerships between the startups and end-ups he advises. Dignan is also the author of Brave New Work, co-host of the Brave New Work podcast and founder of Murmur. -- Want even more?

“No [person] ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river, and they are not the same [person].” —Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher from ~500 BC I share this quote in nearly every Pivot keynote because it speaks to the reality of uncertainty in every aspect of our lives, even when we're not intentionally pursuing bigger career changes. Every day we are different, as are the companies we work for, the broader economy, our community, and even our physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional bodies. Today, recurring guest Adrian Klaphaak and I are exploring how to keep moving and build momentum, even when you aren't in a position to take big risks. How do you double down on your strengths and take small steps to pivot in place, creating room for bigger opportunities down the road? Are you working on a pivot-in-progress?

Happy new year! We're not really resolution-making types, but the incrementing of the annum is a good time to take a breath and think about some ways we might want to approach our work differently. On this episode, we took a pretty big swing at "culture" — sitting down with Aaron Dignan, founder of Murmur, author of Brave New Work (and host of the eponymous podcast) — to discuss some of the ways modern organizations are, well, broken! From there, to the analysts within those organizations, to frameworks and approaches for getting to a better way of working, it was a brain-stretching way to kick off 2023!

Greg kicked off today's conversation with the suggestion that there is going to be an increasing divide between those shops whose fundraising efforts can thrive and those whose cannot. Greg believes a lot of this will be evident in the success or lack thereof in organizations' planned giving efforts. While Greg insists these efforts don't have to be especially complicated, our organizations will have to match our desire for these more significant gifts with the wherewithal to most effectively and appropriately negotiate, receive, and acknowledge them. Our team at Responsive appreciates that Greg is among our consulting colleagues who are allowing our Three Lanes Theory to inform some of his thinking on this. During the second half of today's conversation, it took an especially thought provoking turn when we posed the question of whether having higher expectations of the relationship rather than of the individuals involved in the exchange translates into greater success in planned giving. I was looking to connect Greg's thoughts with that of author Aaron Dignan who insists that in the future we're all going to have to be increasingly “complexity conscious”. This way of thinking recognizes that the most meaningful outcomes in a complex adaptive system, whatever they may be, emerge from the interactions in between us rather than from the behavior of any individual actor. As always, we are especially grateful to our friends at CueBack for sponsoring The Fundraising Talent Podcast.

About the book What's stopping us from doing the best work of our lives? It's the way we work. Bureaucracy. Hierarchy. Compliance. Everything that slows us down and makes us feel less human. Our organizations are broken. And we can fix them. Aaron Dignan helps teams around the world completely reinvent their operating systems—the fundamental principles and practices that shape their culture—with extraordinary success. He helps them see that organizations aren't machines to be predicted and controlled. They're complex human systems full of potential waiting to be released. In Brave New Work, you'll learn exactly how to reinvent the way you work, not through top-down mandates, but through a groundswell of autonomy, trust, and transparency. Source: https://www.bravenewwork.com/ About the author Aaron Dignan sees the same phenomenon everywhere he looks. Our most trusted and important institutions—in business, healthcare, government, philanthropy, and beyond – are struggling. They're confronted with the fact that the scale and bureaucracy that once made them strong are liabilities in an era of constant change. For the past ten years, he has studied organizations and teams with a new way of working that prioritizes adaptivity and autonomy over efficiency and control. Aaron contends that teams everywhere need to join them in the future of work. As the founder of The Ready—a global organizational transformation and coaching practice—he helps companies large and small adopt new forms of self-organization and dynamic teaming. Dignan is an active angel investor and helps build partnerships between the startups and end-ups he advises. He has sat on advisory boards for GE, American Express, PepsiCo, and Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, as well as the board of directors for Smashburger.

Some people grimace when talking about their job in the corporate world. Common complaints are they must comply with orders, they feel their voice isn't being heard, or they must conform to the status quo. And, then there are some who buck the system and break the rules to innovate and drive positive change. How can organizations change an employee's experience to create constructive disruption? What new tools are available to retain creative, rebellionist talent? To discover how we can regain personal agency and reduce the amount of control industry- focused cultures have over us, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two thought leaders about their books that can transform industries. Francesca Gino is the author of Rebel Talent: Why it Pays to Break the Rules at Work and in Life . She shares her findings about why rebellious people create more and have deeper relationships. Aaron Dignan describes the principles of his book, Brave New Work: Are You Ready to Reinvent Your Organization? and shares how he guides notable Fortune 500 companies through leadership techniques that encourage heart-nourishing, human-focused decisions.

We've all seen the increasing dissatisfaction in the workforce and the “great resignation” take its toll. Today teams have to be constantly assessing the collective “agreements” made about how work gets done or people will check out.

In this episode, Aaron & George discuss how teams create consensus and clarity around their norms and policies and Murmur's newest digital tool that is facilitating this sociocratic work.
Leadership and org design always involve tradeoffs. Which ones are you willing to make? Are you building traffic lights in your business or roundabouts? Do you want to maintain power and control, deriving identity from your role, or are you interested in exploring and creating a self-managing organization where there is no CEO? Today we're talking about the new wave of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), bolstered by the blockchain, but something Aaron Dignan has been practicing for over a decade. More About Aaron: Aaron Dignan is the author of Brave New Work: Are You Ready to Reinvent Your Organization?, host of the Brave New Work podcast, founder of The Ready, and his new company Murmur, a collaborative decision-making tool that gives everyone a voice in how to make work better, no meetings required.

This is the third episode in a crossover mini-series between Brave New Work cohosts Rodney Evans and Aaron Dignan and Chase Chapman, builder of DAOs and host of the On the Other Side podcast. Each episode dives into a specific topic related to organizational design for Web3. Today, they talk about the governance structures currently used in most DAOs and why transitioning away from a voting-based model and toward a consent-based model is a move worth making.

Ole er en mand, der ret nemt kommer til at kede sig. Når ting bliver for stabile, skal de lige resettes, så noget nyt kan ske. Det kaldes et ”shallow dive into chaos”, og det kan du lære meget mere om i dagens episode. Mere specifikt har Ole fundet på, at vi skal lave vores første motorvejs-podcast. Derfor er vi i dagens episode på vej mod Kvægtorvet, TV2, og målet er at have en episode i kassen, før bilen rammer Odense. Og af alle emner vælger vi en abstraktheds-topscorer, nemlig frameworket Cynefin. Men lad dig ikke narre. Cynefin er verdens mest sexede model, der kan anvendes til meget, meget mere end at tale om vilkår for kompleks problemløsning. Et par lidt dybere spadestik, og der åbner sig en verden af dynamikker og ledelsesredskaber, som verden har brug for. Turen ned af E45 skaber visse udfordringer, fordi trafik er… kompleks, og dine værter nemme at distrahere. Når dine værter at udfolde Cynefin inden Kvægtorvet? Og giver det overhovedet mening? Lyt med og få svaret.
Unser heutiger Gast beschäftigt sich seit vielen Jahren mit der Frage, wie sich unsere wichtigsten Institutionen, ob in der Wirtschaft, im Gesundheitswesen, in der Regierung oder im gemeinnützigen Sektor, von den Nachteilen ihrer Größe und der selbst geschaffenen Bürokratie befreien können. Seit mehr als zehn Jahren untersucht er Organisationen und Teams, die anders arbeiten. Das sind Organisationen, in denen Anpassungsfähigkeit und Autonomie gegenüber Effizienz und Kontrolle im Vordergrund stehen. Er ist der Gründer von "The Ready", einer Beratungs- und Coaching-Organisation. Mit seinem Team hilft er Organisationen, neue Formen der Selbstorganisation und dynamischen Teamarbeit einzuführen. Zu seinen Kunden zählen Unternehmen wie General Electric, Microsoft, Citibank, Airbnb und Charles Schwab. Unser Gast ist auch ein aktiver Angel-Investor und wir sind auf ihn aufmerksam geworden, weil er eines der wichtigsten Bücher über die Zukunft der Arbeit geschrieben hat. Es hat auch einen der besten Titel: Es heißt: "Brave New Work ". Seit mehr als 4 Jahren sind wir auf dem "Weg zur neuen Arbeit". Wie kann ein Thema, das in unserem Alltag eine so wichtige Rolle spielt, wieder mehr Sinn in unserem Leben schaffen? Wie schaffen wir es, dass Menschen wieder Kraft und Motivation aus ihrer täglichen Arbeit schöpfen? Und wie kann es gelingen, auch in solch schwierigen Zeiten ein sinnerfülltes, glückliches, gesundes, produktives und erfülltes Leben zu führen? Wir sind auf der Suche nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Werkzeugen und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Es geht uns immer um die Frage, ob jeder Mensch wirklich das finden und leben kann, was er im Innersten wirklich will. Ihr seid bei "Auf dem Weg zu New Work" mit Aaron Dignan

I'm very pleased to share, exclusively for this podcast, the first chapter of my book, Responsive: What It Takes to Create a Thriving Organization. The full audiobook version of Responsive comes out in late September 2018, but in the meantime, I am excited to share it out in podcast form. Here's an excerpt. Subscribe and listen to The Robin Zander Show for the full chapter! On the Shoulders of Giants Responsive has been built on a community of which I am just a single member. I am grateful to the six people wrote the Responsive Org manifesto, and began a movement: Adam Pisoni, Aaron Dignan, Matthew Partovi, Mike Arauz, Steve Hopkins and Alexis Gonzales-Black. They put words to a problem faced by organizations today and gave us a language to describe the challenges and tensions that have long existed in the workplace. I would not have written this book without the friendship of Steve Hopkins, who taught me how to run an un-conference, and the handful of collaborators with whom I produced my first Responsive events. I'm indebted to the fifty-plus leaders who I've interviewed on my podcast, The Robin Zander Show, who described big ideas like non-hierarchy and holacracy in simple language and gave me hope that I could write a book to do the same. How To Use This Book My career path has never followed a traditional route. My first job out of college was as a management consultant, with a gig as a circus performer nights and weekends. Of course, I couldn't tell the consulting company that I was in the circus, but I also couldn't admit to my fellow circus artists that I wore a suit to work. I am not content to live in such a binary world. I want to live in a world that encourages the full expression of every individual, and I am dedicated to building it. Improving the ways we work seems like a great place to start. Responsive is a compilation of tactics and accompanying short stories about innovators on the front lines of the future of work. It is designed to be a choose-your-own-adventure exploration into how we work in the modern era, the approaches and perspectives employed by high performing organizations, and what makes those methods so effective. While this book can be read cover to cover, I have designed it so that you can jump to those sections most interesting or relevant to you right now. Ultimately Responsive is intended as a reference guide as much as a road map—a resource you can return to again and again as you dive deeper into Responsive and the future of work. A Responsive Café I have a vested interest in discovering what works for myself and my small team. Throughout this book, I'll share stories about my small business, a coffee shop in San Francisco, where I work with my ten-person staff to serve coffee and avocado toast and to build community. I founded “Robin's Café” in late April 2016, with no prior experience as a restaurateur but armed with a clear purpose: to foster a nascent community that I knew could exist in our corner of San Francisco. We had exactly three weeks from inception to opening day, so, unsurprisingly, our first week of operations was a mess. Attendees of a conference I had organized on site wanted to support the café, creating a bona fide lunch rush on our very first day. In those early weeks, we were a team of four, often making up recipes on the spot to cover orders. I look back on those times now, after having a tough day, and realize that no matter how terrible things might seem, it will never be as chaotic and insane as those first few weeks. We desperately needed additional staff. One day, a man named Frank quietly dropped off his resume during our usual morning rush. I was up to my elbows managing an exploding keg of cold brew. But even in the midst of a coffee emergency, it quickly became clear that Frank was professional, playful, and knowledgeable about the food service industry. I hired him, and he soon became indispensable at the café. On May 20, 2016, Frank had been scheduled to open the café. Around 9:30 a.m., I got a call that Frank hadn't shown up. “Was he sick?” I wondered. I checked to see if he'd sent me any messages, but there were none. I called him, but it went to voicemail. A week later, I sent an email, mostly in jest, with the subject, “Are you still alive?” The staff and I just assumed that Frank became a “no call, no show,” something not uncommon in the service industry. Frank's cutting contact was a simple case of job abandonment. Still, it somehow didn't seem like Frank, and I wanted to make sure he was okay. I tracked down his brother on social media and messaged him. I heard nothing for several days. Then, out of the blue, Frank's brother called me. “I'm sorry to have to tell you this,” I remember him saying, “My brother is dead. He was hit and killed by a train.” In that moment of shock, while I digested what I'd just heard, Frank's brother went on: “I want you to know how happy he was to be working at Robin's Café.” Frank's death is a constant reminder to me of how truly transient and changeable business—and life—can be. As a small business owner in those first few weeks, I had to be resilient, not just in my response to Frank's death, but to be able to mentor and support those at our café and in the community who knew him. I was determined to build into the ethos of our organization this realization that circumstances can change in an instant. I wanted my team to be resilient when times got tough and grateful for the days when work felt more like play. I like to think that in some way this commitment to resilience and good humor is a small homage to Frank. That same ethos is what has compelled me to write this book and to share just some of the ways that ground-breaking organizations and individuals are exploring human-centered work. This book is an invitation to see the value of Responsive approaches and bring them into your organization as fits your vision and culture. -- If you've enjoyed Chapter 1 of Responsive, you can purchase a Kindle or print version of the book on Amazon. And be sure to check out the Responsive Conference, coming up September 24-25th in Queens, NY.
I'm pleased to share this keynote address by my friend Aaron Dignan, founder of The Ready, at Responsive Conference 2017. Aaron Dignan sees the same phenomenon everywhere he looks. Our most trusted and important institutions – in business, healthcare, government, philanthropy, and beyond – are struggling. They're confronted with the fact that the scale and bureaucracy that once made them strong are liabilities in an era of constant change. Aaron is the founder of The Ready and a founding member of the Responsive Org movement. This talk was recorded live at the 2nd Annual Responsive Conference in September 2017. We're gearing up for Responsive Conference 2018 on September 24th and 25th in New York City, and excited to have The Ready lead an interactive Teaming simulation.
