Reddit reviews Reinventing Organizations: A Guide to Creating Organizations Inspired by the Next Stage in Human Consciousness

Reorganize the concept of work of all sorts such that everyone operates within an appropriate level of their own authority. No people are expected to act as robots, and everyone has clearly defined roles in which they have decision making power. And, those roles and authorities can evolve over time with the advice and consent of the group, with the goal of doing better work in better ways.

Incidentally, I'm getting all this from Reinventing Organizations and Holacracy. You might be interested in reading those.

And to be fair to our real world so far, you couldn't really reboot and expect to get here. We needed the other organizational models to get us to the point that we'd even understand and be able to implement what I said above.

There's plenty of literature that promotes the same things:

Drive by Daniel H. Pink

Organize for complexity by Niels Pflaeging

Reinventing organizations by Frederic Laloux

Management 3.0 by Jurgen Appelo

Agile is a paradigm, not an instruction guide, and so all of these including the one you mentioned can be incorporated. Agile is not some stubborn point-by-point fieldbook, its a general attitude.

Many of the books I mentioned never make a single reference to Agile, because its being implemented in fields completely unrelated to software engineering (nurses doing homecare for seniors, auto part manufacturing, etc..)

That's why I hate corporations. I really love concept from "Reinventing Organizations" book about corporate organization.

Well, I can point you at some books.

You can also look at the MIT handbook of collective intelligence.


This is a more pop science oriented version of the above, but it touches on different modes of organization not mentioned in the handbook. Superminds, by Thomas Malone, Mel Foster, et al.
