What is this about? It is about a new level of how people organize themselves for the organization of a project. We can identify three layers for the organization of a project: On the one hand, there is the functional organization of the project (layer 2) and, on the other hand, the completely different character of the organization of people to each other (layer 3), who jointly organize (layer 2) and implement (layer 1) a project. The purely functional project organization has been brought under control over time. The keywords here are quality management, standardization and automation. With the new possibilities offered by technology, programming, apps and today's communication options, this is all well on the way. With lean, agility and value stream management, there is a lot of knowledge in the area of functional project management. Only one question remains unsatisfactorily resolved: Who organizes the people planning and executing, and how? The standard functional answer at layer 2 is: Well, people are planned like machines and cogwheels, by people who are organized like machines and cogwheels. And the big boss organizes them like machines and cogwheels, i.e. always in a causally predictable way. Unfortunately, people are miscalculating more and more, because life cannot be calculated, it can only be lived. In the dominant and functional peak times, it worked even better than it does now, as more and more people are waiting to make the leap into the caring world together. They no longer want to be planned like machines and cogwheels. At NVC-plus, the answer is therefore: The Team is the Boss. The team organizes the process and must be able to organize itself. This requires a new cultural approach to organizing. After the art of functional organizing (layer 2), it is now about the higher art of human organizing in relation to functional projects. Layer 3 is added and the organization of people is no longer the task of functional layer 2. The team members are no longer scheduled, they plan together. Why are we suggesting that the team should be the boss? Because each person in their position and from their perspective has a proportionate knowledge of the whole that is valuable. Because each person in their position can intervene quickly and concretely and balance the project. Because each person can add meaning, awareness, inspiration and significance to the project. Because individual meaning and significance can only be well networked through shared caring. Because we urgently need this more networked, actively lived sense and meaning to overcome crises and steer progress. Because the core pleasure of activity is the experience of shared constructiveness. because this is often the only way to manage complex tasks appropriately and our world is becoming increasingly complex anyway. Because the systemic, phenomenal influences can also have a positive effect on the project. Because people no longer want to be cogwheels in the big socio-economic machine and are increasingly refusing to be conscious in the form of illness, depression and burnout. The earth makes the garden. That is why the environment in which the team is located is not insignificant. The culture of cooperation determines the interpersonal climate, the quality of communication, the commitment of the members and their success in self-organization. Therefore, selecting the team culture is the first step for a self-organized team. However, in order to be able to select a culture, you first need an overview of all the different cultures that would be suitable. Self-organization requires a suitable team culture Self-organization that makes the team the boss requires trust, transparency and communication. However, all three factors are heavily dependent on the culture of the team. We therefore first need a suitable team culture that promotes these three qualities, and we can understand what this might be using the NVC-plus culture stage model. But even if we strive for a certain team culture, there is still the question of how we can practically introduce it into the company and what that would mean for each team member. Here are the three points that are important Take a look at these three points and discuss them with your team.
