🎙 📆 [#podcast Tuesday] Indy Johar, Executive Director of Dark Matter Labs, joins the podcast to help us rethink how we organize ourselves and our systems, addressing inadequacies of traditional business models that are no longer sufficient for managing complexities. Bringing light to how “risk management should be localized, with decision-making power and accountability being as close to the problem as possible,” Indy argues for an organization that encourages participants to be citizens rather than employees and fosters continuous and accountable learning among individuals. Tune into this episode and learn from Indy, a veteran in building mission-driven organizations, who has always stayed ahead of the curve. Key Highlights: 👉 Organizational structures in a complex world, and a shift from command-and-control to systemic learning and adaptability. 👉 Decentralized risk management and the need to localize decision-making to enhance responsiveness and effectiveness. 👉 Dark Matter Labs' mission-driven approach, emphasizing partnerships over traditional consultancy to enable sustainable change. 👉 Need for a paradigm shift in how value is defined and measured within organizations, moving towards incorporating multi-dimensional success indicators. 👉Redefining organizational roles to encourage craft and citizenship, where individuals contribute to the organization's decision-making processes.  👉 Rethinking legal structures governing organizations, moving towards frameworks that support distributed risk and empower collective action. #SystemicChange #FutureOfWork #OrganizationalDesign #LearningOrganizations #ComplexityTheory Don’t miss it!!

"M E R A N G E”. “M E R A N G U E”. nope.....it is "M E R I N G U E". DANG! I now spell it as “MerDANG “ btw — I'll never forget missing that word in a 6th-grade spelling bee. Ever since, I’ve been hooked on getting language and spelling right. But in business, technical jargon often clouds communication instead of clarifying it, leaving teams talking past each other. That’s why my team and I champion tools like a risk rating matrix — a kind of “Rosetta Stone” for business. When organizations use common language, standardized ratings, and shared tools, real conversations happen. Leaders who integrate this shared language into GRC technology and programs see real value. But consistency in structure, calculations, and design is key; without it, we’re back to square one. “MerDang” Pie, anyone? Curious about how to connect the dots between your teams and avoid the chaos of miscommunication? 🎧 Check out Asureti’s podcast episode to dive deeper into how language can transform your risk organization. https://hubs.ly/Q02WtmLF0 #RiskManagement #Compliance #GRC #BusinessEfficiency #PodcastEpisode

TWO MINUTE BRIEFING: Change Management Across Sectors: What You Need to Know In our recent interview, Emile Massenat MBA, PMP, Prosci ADKAR, SAFe Agile,CPLC, explains the differences between how receptive to change that the private sector, public sector and Crown corporations (Federally funded) are. 1️⃣ Private Sector: Must adapt quickly or face extinction. Example: Major banks in Canada compete fiercely for market share, driving rapid change and significant investments in business transformation. 2️⃣ Crown Corporations: Federally funded but operate like private sector organizations. Prioritize innovation to provide value for taxpayer dollars while maintaining low risk tolerance. 3️⃣ Public Sector: Fully taxpayer-funded, highly unionized, and exhibit lower risk tolerance. Slower change processes but face constant pressures to support and adapt behaviors. Watch the full episode on our website to dive deeper into Emile's perspective on how various sectors handle change: https://lnkd.in/g7KFe-Mt AWAN & ASSOCIATES ChangePlan #ChangeManagement #ChangeLeadership #ChangePlan #Podcast

This is a really interesting listen on portfolio prioritisation and the role of a PMO. Too often a lack of prioritisation that understands the "why" and "what" leads to a failure to deliver change initiatives and business strategy. Getting senior sponsorship and alignment to the portfolio priorities and being pragmatic to change is essential. Interesting concepts of the Air Traffic Control model and how frameworks can help with prioritisation. Great listen Boyd Kershaw Mandie Beitner Andrew Ball
