The design principles

The Seven Principles of Regenerating Enterprise™

Seven enterprise design principles that create the conditions for autonomy and resilience to emerge—and for regeneration to become a property of the system itself.

01
centralized controlDistributed ownership

Distributed ownership.

Design the organization so people own outcomes, not just activities.

02
Responsibility matricesClear accountability

Clear accountability.

Replace fragmented responsibility models with explicit ownership of decisions, outcomes and commitments.

03
Dependency meetingsDynamic feedback loops

Dynamic feedback loops.

Create continuous mechanisms that allow information, learning and decisions to flow where they are needed.

04
Approval chainsClear decision gateways

Clear decision gateways.

Define the conditions that allow teams to move with autonomy while preserving quality, reliability and coherence.

05
Positional authorityIntrinsic equality & shared purpose

Intrinsic equality & shared purpose.

Enable people at every level to access the information they need, contribute their intelligence, and make meaningful decisions in pursuit of a shared direction.

06
Functional silosValue-driven integration

Value-driven integration.

Organize expertise around the creation of customer, ecosystem and business value, with a clear mechanism for integrating contributions into a coherent whole.

07
Output deliveryValue creation

Value creation.

Measure success by the impact generated, not by the amount of work delivered.

Autonomy, Resilience and Regeneration are not trained. They are designed.
