Versatile Organization Design with the unFIX Model Episode #4

Mun-Wai Chung & JF Unson Season 7 Episode 4

We are continuing our conversation with Jurgen Appelo on Versatile Organization Design using the unFIX Model, a pattern library that he authored. The unFIX Model is a simple toolbox that helps you with versatile organization design. It facilitates gradual change, dynamic teams, and an important role to play for managers. The pattern library is inspired by innovative companies, including Haier and Tesla, various agile scaling frameworks, and books such as Team Topologies, Dynamic Reteaming, and Organization Design.

Jurgen is the founder of the Agile Management Company and the author of several best-selling books, including Management 3.0 and Startup, Scaleup, Screwup. With a background in computer science and management, he has been instrumental in transforming countless businesses worldwide.

NOTE: The book that Jurgen Appelo refers to in the podcast is Networked, Scaled, and Agile: A Design Strategy for Complex Organizations by Amy Kates, Greg Kesler, et al.
