Unofficial

There are both official structures and unofficial structures in the organization. They can coexist harmoniously. Ideally, the unofficial structure that has emerged over time is the formal structure you should have.

"Digital Master” is a series of guidebooks (28 + books) to perceive the multi-faceted impact digital is making to the businesses and society, help forward-thinking organizations navigate through the journey in a systematic way, and avoid “rogue digital.” 

It perceives the emergent trends of digital leadership, provides advice on how to run a digital organization to unleash its full potential and improve agility, maturity, and provide insight about Change Management. It also instructs the digital workforce on how to shape a game-changing digital mindset and build the right set of digital capabilities to compete for the future. Here is a set of Unofficial” quotes in “Digital Master.”



It is all the unofficial behaviors, language, power networks, communication processes, stories, myths etc. that define “the way we do things around here.” 


Business Architecture as a practical tool helps to frame the organizational structure, establish a formal and enabling organizational structure in line with your desired direction and organizational ambition, also identify the unofficial structures and take them along on the journey of transformative change.


There are both official structures and unofficial structures in the organization. They can coexist harmoniously. Ideally, the unofficial structure that has emerged over time is the formal structure you should have.


The digital balance to human nature will need to have some combinations of structural design and incentives, and going forward, it may well require changing both official and unofficial structures into a hybrid organizational structure that can support an innovation journey in the direction you are heading, rather than where you have been.


The organizational structure carries inherent business capabilities as to what can be achieved within its frame. There are both official structures and unofficial structures in the organization. The question is whether the official structure and the unofficial structure co-exist antagonistically or harmoniously. 


Limited hierarchy with some “unstructured processes” as the digital normality works best to build a creative environment in which idea generation and implementation are the key elements of long term business prosperity.


To catalyze leadership innovation and improve leadership maturity, it is necessary to identify the unofficial structures and take them along on the journey of innovation and change, and manifest connection, caring, trust-building and influence to accomplish strategic business goals.


 Going forward, it perhaps requires changing both official and unofficial structures into a hybrid organizational structure that can improve strategic flexibility.
