The pandemic is one stark example of the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world we currently live in and this world asks for company-wide agility.

Yet, agility in the literal sense means companies need to be adaptive, responsive, fast, and nimble. Thus, although already created in the 90s, the original idea of a learning organization, that is a company that facilitates the learning of its members and continuously transforms itself, is more relevant than ever. Yet, how can such a learning organization come to life?

BOSSA nova is one approach to company-wide agility that leverages Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy, and Agility.

In this session, I will share various probes implemented by different companies that can guide the probing in your company to establish a learning organization.
