With AI, it’s not the tech you’re struggling with – it’s organizational change: a step by step approach

Want A Regenerative Future? We’ll Need Regenerative Humans, First.
“I never thought I could do this at work,” he expressed with a sense of wonder. “What,” I inquired, somewhat baffled, “breathe?” We had just wrapped up a morning session in an intrapreneurs training at a major corporation. Here, I unveiled aspects of my morning routine, designed to activate the body, center emotions through breathwork, and calm the mind. This preparation was vital for being fully present, to not be overrun by thoughts but to actively think our thoughts.
Embracing Ownership and Cultivating Accountability Requires A Transformation towards Self-Authorship
“I wish my team took more ownership of their projects and didn’t come to me all the time for direction.” This sentiment echoes across boardrooms as leaders struggle to empower their teams in an era where organizations are transforming into network organizations and flat hierarchies. However, the lack of ownership and accountability isn’t because employees are unwilling to step up; instead, it stems from a lack of training on how to exhibit leadership at self-authoring level. Here’s what you can do.
A networked organization is as strong as its weakest node — Creating Organizational Resilience
“Welcome to our network organization!” A pause ensues. The words hang in the air. In the virtual room, through the matrix of faces (those with their cameras on, at least), you can observe the four typical stress responses: frozen shock, an impulse to flee, flashes of anger and indignation, and then resignation.

Who would want to “go back” to the old office of bland cubicles, rote and CYA work, gossip, drudgery, and all the dysfunctions we already loathed and ridiculed before the pandemic forced us to reshuffle how we work? Somehow, though, there is a felt sense that we lost something when we left the office and “went remote”. Sinking productivity levels are a good sign of that, costing businesses millions every day, while frustrating top performers and creating quiet quitting.
How to build personal Resilience — Overcoming the 4Fs of Stress
Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes chronic or overwhelming, it can have negative effects on our physical and mental health. Understanding our stress triggers is important in managing stress levels and maintaining our overall health and well-being. Our stress reactions tend to fall into one of four types: freeze, flight, fight, or fawn.
