Companies are under pressure to distribute power, engage employees and rethink the role of manager in order to meet the challenges of a fast moving world. Bonnitta Roy has designed an open architecture for self-managed companies otherwise known as an Open Participatory Organization. In this conversation with Dawna she describes:

  • What OPO is and how it is different
  • How communication is facilitated in a matrixed organization
  • Why OPO works for startups and established companies with managers
  • Why now is the time to be adapting management design

Bonnitta Roy is an author, international speaker, and creator of the OPO - open participatory organization. She founded APP Associates as a collaborative network of people who are reinventing organizational life based on principles of open participation and a vision of human flourishing. You can follow her work at appassociates.net or in her Medium publication Our Future at Work. To read more about OPO’s and Bonnitta Roy’s work go to Medium.

The Evolutionary Provocateur bi-monthly show is for executives, managers, and supervisors (OR for leaders at all levels) who have noticed that it is not what you know but who you are that has the biggest impact.

Dawna Jones, the show's host, believes that by raising awareness and understanding we can make a quantum leap to a new level of innovation in business - but it has to be done collectively.

What better way to do it than by provoking the evolution of how you see yourself and your role!
