Analytical Objectives (Diagnose and Design)
- Assess an organization’s current level of agility and readiness for AO-style transformation using structured diagnostic lenses (structure, leadership, culture, networks, value streams)
- Map critical system dynamics (feedback loops, constraints, informal networks) that shape behavior and outcomes in the organization
- Compare different organizational design options (product-centric vs function-centric, networked vs hierarchical) and evaluate their fit with AO principles in a given context[5]
Applied Objectives (Intervene and Facilitate)
- Design an initial AO-aligned transformation approach
- Facilitate core AO practices such as collaborative diagnosis, sociogram/network mapping, pilot framing, and retrospectives across teams and functions
- Apply AO-consistent leadership and coaching behaviors
