Making Remote Work #20 - Naomi Stanford, Milan Guenther, Matthew Skelton

#organizationaldesign #enterprisedesign #teamtopologiesCovid-19 has forced organizations to rethink how work is carried out. In this episode, we discuss the organizational issues surfaced by the pandemic and then move on to more practical advice on organizational (re)design that supports working remotely in all its forms. We touch on the learnings that organizations should embrace from the ad-hoc communities that were formed in this period, innovation and transformation when remote, organizational purpose vs values vs culture, and the successful organization of the future.My guests are distinguished Organizational and Enterprise Design practitioners: Naomi Stanford, Matthew Skelton, and Milan Guenther.https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomi-stanford-54373b2/https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewskelton/?originalSubdomain=ukhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/milanguenther/Dr. Naomi Stanford is an organization design practitioner, teacher, and author.
