The Autonomous Nervous System:  Your Organizational Survival Strategy

"Adapt or die" becomes a more important maxim with every passing hour as the complexity and rate of change of the business environment accelerates exponentially.   In this new world, the metaphor between a complex self-directed organism like a human being and a self-directed entity like an corporation can provide deep insight into how to adapt natures scaling solutions to business and IT.  Coming from a legacy management paradigm based on static markets and unskilled workers, we are in desperate need to reconnect our IT-first business strategy with a model that unlocks the power of the modern knowledge worker to help propel our organizations forward. 

A human being would not survive long if we had to use our single available stream of consciousness to regulate our heartbeat, breathing, and endocrine systems, and likewise our organizations need to abandon yesterday's micromanaging styles and embrace autonomous systems.   In this session we'll explore how to develop an organizational autonomous nervous system by cheapening exploration of potentially disruptive new business models and drive feedback loops deeper into the organization where non-critical decisions can me made to spare the strategic brainpower for setting the direction of the overall mission of the organization.
