AEquacy | Book Series

Overview:

AEquacy is a human-centered organizational design and operating system that changes the paradigm of the traditional, hierarchical organization, overcoming its limits and paving the way to greater innovation, collaboration and performance. AEquacy can be envisioned as a radial, equalitarian structure of self-organizing, peer-coordinated teams. Different pre-defined types of teams and specific roles within each team keep the system in balance while unleashing the true potential of teams and individuals. In an aequal organization people can perform at their best because they have total control over their work, clarity about the organizational direction and access to all information to make the best decisions. The book presents:

• AEquacy, a hierarchy-free, peer-coordinated, radial structure of self-organizing teams;

• The AEquacy framework of operating principles;

• The AEquacy implementation model.

Business Model Canvas | Glossary

Definition:

The Business Model Canvas is a one page overview that lays out both what you do (or want to do), and how you go about doing it; enabling structured conversations around management and strategy by laying out the crucial activities and challenges involved with your initiative and how they relate to each other. This visual format, first introduced by Osterwalder and Pigneur, is useful for both existing and new organisations and businesses. Existing programmes can develop new initiatives and identify opportunities while becoming more efficient by illustrating potential trade-offs and aligning activities. New programmes can use it to plan and work out how to make their offering real.
