OPERATING SYSTEMS

Organizational operating systems require the right design.

The purpose of an operating system is to enable people to get work done and to ensure seamless operations at scale throughout an organization.

The operating system consists of the performance triangle (People, organization and work), the leadership scorecard (Management), and the leadership toolbox (Rules, routines and tools).

Leadership in the digital economy requires a hybrid operating system. Hybrid refers to the ability of an operating to simultaneously support both, traditional and dynamic leadership, e.g. enabling exploitation-type businesses models and exploration-type businesses.

As such, the operating system needs to enable speed without losing control, agility with a stable platform, resilience and renewal, people-centric and traditional management, transformation and natural resistance.

Management Design explains the people, organization, work and management parts of the operating system. People-centric Management presents the leadership scorecard and toolbox elements. The Transition of Organizations suggests the transitions strategies to build the operating system.

Most of operating system’s elements are intangibles. The Organization Twin Cockpit makes all elements visible, ready for their design. With expert system, leaders can identify gaps, decide on the right design, and initiate the right development activities.

The expert system uses artificial intelligence to support the design and the development of the operating system. With our models, survey data, standards, statistics, benchmark information, and proven patterns, it suggests the ideal design.
