]]> I am haunted by an old nemesis called “resource balancing” – sorry Uwe ;). The entire concept on a long time scale – let us assume 12 – 18 months makes no sense to me. How should I know what I am going to need in 3 months from now, when I am running an R&D program? Can you relate? The term Resource Fluidity is kind of nice to describe how adaptive an organization is: “Ecosystem resource fluidity is a measure of how effectively the entrepreneurial ecosystem is in using existing resources to create new opportunity.” (Click the link for the source.) I shut up. Listen to Bruce Lee: Be as water my friend.

“You can have all the right strategies in the world; if you don’t have the right culture, you’re dead.”

Culture is increasingly recognised as a critical component for the survival and growth of a business. An organization is only as good as its people.

The success of the transition is largely dependant on people being comfortable with uncertainty and accepting new ways of working.


Safety Advice
For an adaptive organization to be successful, strong cross-functional collaboration and swarming on problems are crucial behaviors to be cultivated. Diversity and inclusion are not only side goals. Don’t undermine this behavior by blaming or rewarding any one individual. In addition to other structures, the measurement of progress and performance, as well as compensation and incentive systems, must be heavily adapted.
