We have discussed different organizational structures; these include functional, divisional or M-form, matrix, network, and holding company, among others. We also looked broadly at processes, leadership, and supply chains. However, some companies have been experimenting with other relatively new self-managed organizational forms, such as Holacracy, as a particular case. Begin your exploration here:

• Laloux, F. (2014). Reinventing organizations: A guide to creating organizations inspired by the next stage in human consciousness. Nelson Parker. Please take a look here to access this book. Note: This book provides a precious discussion of past and future organizational forms relevant for entire organizations or parts thereofa natural and valuable extension of the topics discussed in IBS213. It would be best if you did not read the whole book. At least read Part 1 and skim the rest to know where to dig deeper as you write your paper.

The overall question to be addressed in this assignment is: "Which companies in IBS213 could benefit from taking advantage of a self-managed or Holacracy governance form?"

Follow the following steps to plan for your report:

1. Review sessions 1 & 2 along with the abovementioned readings to recapture the essence of self-management and agility in job description.
2. Choose any organization discussed in IBS213 (choose one of them: IBM,PwC,Lego,Gillette,Wilkinson-Schick,Colgate-Palmolive,Amazon multi-business) and summarize why this organization could be successful with self-managed or Holacracy governance. Make clear if your focus is on Holacracy governance or other exemplary self-managed structures and processes mentioned in the Laloux book or elsewhere. You may choose an organisation that you have addressed in the previous assignment, but make sure you are addressing the issues of Holocracy and self-management without conducting self-plagiarism.
3. Get specific by suggesting managerial activities and best practices at your chosen organization's individual, team, and department level, which can prove advantageous by implementing self-managed or Holacracy governance. Don't forget to discuss the possible disadvantages. Apply one LO from the first Course Objective, "Analyze organizational building blocks and behavior at multiple levels of analysis."
4. Suggest self-managed or Holacracy structures and processes and compare them to the existing systems and processes of your chosen IBS213 organization along relevant organizational design dimensions. Then, apply one LO from the second Course Objective, "Explain the importance of organizational design, structure, processes, and strategic alignment."
5. How would your organization, with the suggestions from 3. and 4. fare in the larger environment or concerning operational and financial risks by applying one LO from the third Course Objective, "Understand value creation and risk within an ecosystem"?
