Self-organisation

The path to joint and shared responsibility

Strengthening self-organisation

We support you in strengthening self-organisation in your organisation - with approaches that distribute responsibility, enable creative freedom and at the same time create reliability in action. Together, we design processes that enable your teams to organise their work independently and effectively.

Self-organisation -
Our understanding

 

 

 

 

"When trust is given, it generates responsibility in return. Imitation and peer pressure regulate the system better than a hierarchy ever could." - Frederic Laloux

For us, self-organisation is the basic human principle of solving challenges together. It is the natural impulse to co-create, discuss and decide where heart, expertise and responsibility are required.

In the world of work, self-organisation means that decisions are not made solely on the basis of hierarchies, but through the situational assumption of responsibility by those who have the expertise and feel the effects. Reliability is created through clear roles, agreements that provide orientation and the willingness to constantly reflect with each other and develop further together.

Self-organisation is not a state, but a process. It requires the courage to reflect, an awareness of power and hierarchical dynamics and a culture of trust, transparency and responsibility.

Self-organisation develops its strength through clear structures that create space for creativity and individuality without losing the common framework. The key lies in a balance between freedom and reliability: people have the opportunity to make their own decisions, but are united by common values and goals.

We see self-organisation as a form of cooperation that is characterised by a constant willingness to learn, respect for individual needs and a willingness to reach and adhere to agreements. This interaction promotes resilience and adaptability - crucial qualities in a dynamic world.
