What is People-Centric

Diagnosing organisations is a chapter that explores the intrinsic relationship between organisational purpose, the people, and value creation in relation to organisational structures. Without structure we can't be aware of what we are changing or monitoring if we are effectively achieving our organisational purpose. Structure in the form of governance, an operating system, or organisation design can be built to fight or embrace change. People can be taught to do the same. With the application change maturity built on organisational structures and people management coupled with a search to maximise value through creating continuously adaptive organisational systems, one can equip organisations with the tools they need to not only survive but thrive. By questioning the basic building blocks of organising, this chapter establishes not only factors that could be measures in this diagnosis of organisations, but establishes a set of invitations that are more profound in the sense that they offer strategic choice and development of this concept of organising and organisations.
