FLOW
/fləʊ/

noun
1. the action or fact of moving along in a steady, continuous stream.
2. a steady, continuous stream or supply of something.
3. the melting together of action and consciousness; the state of finding a balance between a skill and how challenging that task is.

HIVE
/hʌɪv/

1. a beehive

“Bees exemplify remarkable self-management within their colonies, epitomized by their intricate dances that convey vital information about food sources. This intricate communication system reflects their adaptability, as bees dynamically respond to changing environmental conditions, ensuring the collective success of the hive.” – ChatGPT

TEAM TOPOLOGIES

We have vast knowledge and experience of Team Topologies.
This is not a framework or a methodology, but the leading approach to organizing business and technology teams for fast flow, providing patterns and principles, for adaptive organizational design and team interaction.

What we believe…

Does the need for change imply that organizations need to go through reorganizations each and every time? Or are there other ways to deal with ‘change’ today?

(don’t) Fire the management?

If you want teams to have more stewardship over the value they are delivering – or if you want to move more towards self-management. Should you fire the management?
