Today in our episode we\\u2019re talking re-wilding organisations to improve productivity, resilience, and collaboration with Jon Barnes, Adaptive Organisations Consultant. 

\\n

You\\u2019ll take away insights including: 

\\n
    \\n
  • We speak a lot about learning from nature (it\\u2019s out Talking Point!), but exactly how are we putting this into practice at IMEX? 
  • \\n
  • What does being a gardener have to do with good leadership?! 
  • \\n
  • What is an adaptive team? And how can being adaptive increase employee freedom and responsibility? 
  • \\n
  • Why should we move away from \\u201ctraditional\\u201d agile working jargon towards nature metaphors? (Hint: human beings aren\\u2019t machines!) 
  • \\n
  • Why over-structuring an organisation can result in waste of energy, talent and money \\u2013 and how do we break out of those structures? 
  • \\n
  • What are the longer-term benefits of \\u201cwaiting and watching\\u201d \\u2013 nurturing your team to develop their own solutions to problems? 
  • \\n
