If you had a magic wand and could make your ideal organization appear, what would this dream organization be like? Why do you believe it is not the standard yet? How about we do something about it?

Below you will find:

• The 3 gates each member goes through as the onboarding, aka...
• The 3 workshops where we explore the problem space together, aka...
• The 3 repositories where we keep our insights.

First, we will experiment with new ways of facilitating workshops, holding space. Depending on what you feel about them and the results they provide, you will get either learnings (of what not to do ????) or innovations to bring back and model in your own organization.

Second, this is a space to explore how our ideal organization already exists in the world today. “The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed.” as William Gibson brilliantly said. And the future has been here waiting for us to be ready for decades!

• Maslow wrote his Theory of Human Motivation in 1943 (81 years ago)
• Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning was published in 1946 (78 years ago)
• And to keep it short, almost half a century ago, the year 1975 saw emerging 3 life changing concepts: Flow, Intrinsic Motivation and Positive Psychology through 3 seminal books.

Organizations have waited long enough, we have waited long enough, let’s explore and deliver what’s been out there for so long. And to go beyond, Servant Leadership was trending a few years ago, what was it if not a repackaging of concepts we got from religions centuries ago (not to say thousands of years ago)... So it is not just organizations, waiting, it is humanity.

Last and foremost, this is a space to dream together, to remove the barriers that reduce the opportunities we can access. We have trained ourselves to think solutions that mitigate the different (Cagan’s) risks we face:

• Value risk (users won't buy or want to use it),
• Usability risk (users won't be able to use it),
• Feasibility risk (it will be harder to build than thought), and
• Business Viability risk (it will not fit with our overall business model).

Many great solutions lie behind these barriers, and unless we’re willing to cross them, and take creative risks (in thought experiment at first), we won’t be able to even imagine them. Once they’re imagined, we will find ways to creatively reshape them to meet our reality. If we were more “out there”, we’d speak about developing intuition…

We explore asking ourselves questions, refining these questions, maybe formulating an important problem we want to work on, coming up with the hypothesis “What if?”, experiment protocols, testing, looking together at the results. It won’t feel so procedural but this is the underlying process of our exploration…
