Abstract
What does it mean for an organization (system) to exhibit behaviors and patterns(or anti-patterns)? How does this connect to practices?
After defining the behaviors-patterns-practices relationship, we will consider base patterns and complexity-informed ideas for socio-technical systems.
Of particular note will be the understanding of the work of a leader in a system. How does a leader work on the system rather than in the system and create the conditions for the development and sustainment of good patterns?
Be prepared to start thinking about the patterns in your organization in a whole new light.
Interview
My work focuses on organizational problem-solving with an emphasis on gaining awareness of the system's behavior and how that manifests ... helping organizations gain insights and improve using a little science along the way as well.
The motivation for my talk was sharing ideas about organizational patterns that I have been exploring with a couple of friends.
Leaders in organizations of all kinds and sizes who want to improve the performance of the system and making the workplace enjoyable and productive. Really anyone who likes to understand how things work and how cultures develop and change and wants to try context-informed approaches.
QCon London 2024 is a three day conference for senior software engineers, architects and team leads. An international program committee of working engineers selects every session. Patterns and practices, not products and pitches.
