Engaged workers are energetic and responsible. These are the employees that power real and lasting enterprise-level improvement.Authentic and lasting business agility runs on employee engagement.Here are the 8 Open patterns that encourage real engagement:Leadership Invitation: Open patterns use an opt-in “pull” approach rather than an imposition-based “push” approach to manifest and maintain enterprise-level change. All of the remaining patterns provide essential support for this fundamental Open pattern:Proceeding by Explicit Agreement: An organization of individuals is largely defined by the expressed and implied agreements that those individuals enter into. Open patterns and practices make those agreements explicit.Clarity of Authorization: In the Open approach, the delegation of responsibility always includes the clear and explicit delegation of the authority that is actually needed to deliver.Boundary Management: Especially with respect to authority and authorization, when using Open patterns and practices, essential boundaries are clearly defined by executive leaders. These boundaries are open enough to generate self-organization and are explicitly communicated and carefully maintained.Use of Interaction Protocols: Open approaches clarify communication and understanding through protocols, which are small, shared agreements about how essential interactions are structured. Protocols enhance clarity of communication.Whole-Group Process: Open approaches favor whole-group process over closed-door dialogue. To the maximum extent possible, the Open approach favors “getting the whole system in the room” to validate assumptions, gauge overall group readiness, and obtain validated, org-level alignments before proceeding.Empirical Approach: Organizations are more like living systems than they are like machines. Acknowledging this reality includes recognizing the need for frequent iterations of experimentation and “learning by doing.”Common Knowledge: Often associated with transparency, common knowledge is up-to-date shared information that everyone in the organization knows. The generation of common knowledge is essential to coordinating very large groups at scale.Each of these patterns can be satisfied with any number of practical approaches. Useful practices embody fundamentally useful patterns, patterns that enable great work and great group process.Get the patterns right and your practices take care of themselves!WHAT YOU RECEIVE:1.
