Session outline
In recent decades, large organizations have witnessed increasing complexity, disruption in the economic and social context, and the raise of internal dysfunctional dynamics that have impacted negatively on people, and on both organizational performance and the ability to innovate and change.
The attitude toward innovation and the inclination to welcome change, led the Nespresso Italia HR team to approach self-organization to improve agility, autonomy, collaboration, and accountability of the team. The success of this pilot program led the company to extend the principles and practices of self-organization to the rest of the company.
In this session participants will:
- Why Nespresso chose to implement the AEquacy philosophy and operating system.
- Learn how a large organization has approached self-organization and the challenge to support a mindset & behavior transformation;
- Appreciate the different emotional and behavioral journey employees went through as their accountability became increasingly transparent.
- Appreciate the results of the shift to self-organization.
