A Kinesthetic Introduction to Organizational Architecture and Alignment
The performance of organizations, like all complex systems, depends on their underlying architectures and alignment. This session introduces a method that brings this reality quite literally to life in the classroom using an organization-as-athlete metaphor. Specifically, it walks attendees through four alignment principles central to athletic and organizational performance and do scalable exercises that allow participants of all levels of fitness to experience each one at work in their own bodies. Attendees should wear comfortable clothing suitable for engaging in light exercise.
