The Organization as Ecosystem

In this summit we had a chance to explore the broader context of an organization – what it is, how it works internally, as well as how it interfaces with the outside world. Think about organizations as fields of deeply connected interactions, in many ways are similar to the brain itself. This year we explored the organizing principles behind this network – issues like organizational values, how teams are structured, how the network ‘learns’, and how work itself gets organized. Our goal was to find fresh insights to unlock organizational and human performance, drawing from the nexus between brain research and organizational practice.
