  6 Hurdles to Self-Organization
 
 
 
 
  Chapter 13 – Methods of Self-Organisation
 
 
 
 
  Home / hurdle 4: method / 
  
 
  
 
 
 
  Can't self-organization work without a method?
  Very
  socially
  competent
  people
  can
  organize
  themselves
  without
  a
  method
  such
  as
  NVC-plus. 
  However,
  it's
  like
  working
  with
  a
  screwdriver
  instead
  of
  a
  cordless
  screwdriver.
  You
  can
  do
  it,
  but 
  it
  rarely
  pays
  off
  in
  the
  long
  run.
  As
  soon
  as
  new
  people
  join
  the
  team,
  methods
  can
  be
  easily 
  passed
  on,
  while
  social
  skills
  need
  to
  mature
  slowly.
  Methods
  also
  set
  standards
  for
  teamwork. 
  With
  NVC-plus,
  we
  have
  created
  a
  method
  and
  even
  an
  entire
  frameset
  that
  gives
  self-
  organization
  an
  easily
  comprehensible
  structure.
  Nevertheless,
  the
  freedom
  of
  the
  individual
  is 
  less
  restricted
  than
  its
  effectiveness
  is
  promoted.
  To
  achieve
  this,
  it
  is
  important
  that
  people 
  coordinate
  well
  with
  each
  other
  and
  organize
  the
  joint
  processes
  intelligently.
  You
  can 
  understand
  how
  to
  do
  this
  with
  NVC-plus
  and
  try
  it
  out
  with
  your
  people. 
  You
  also
  never
  need
  to 
  consider
  the
  full
  range
  of
  NVC-plus.
  You
  can
  concentrate
  on
  what
  is
  currently
  useful
  for
  your 
  current
  project
  and
  put
  the
  rest
  to
  one
  side
  and
  try
  it
  out
  when
  the
  time
  comes.
  Maybe
  it
  will 
  make
  more
  sense
  then.
  
  In
  any
  case,
  we
  have
  put
  a
  lot
  of
  care
  into
  the
  NVC-plus
  method
  and 
  would
  be
  delighted
  if
  it
  helps 
  you
  too.
  If 
  you
  have
  any
  problems
  getting
  started,

  How to get started with the NVC-plus method
  Before
  the
  team
  starts
  to
  organize
  itself,
  it
  should
  be
  reasonably
  free
  of
  conflict.
  In
  other
  words, 
  there
  should
  be
  an
  appropriate
  or
  sufficient
  level
  of
  peace.
  It
  should
  also
  have
  agreed
  on
  the 
  caring
  team
  culture.
