Organic structure If you need to know exactly
who is making decisions,you are in the wrong place

Alignment & Autonomy
Alignment False dichotomy!
Do what I say!
Autonomy
Do whatever
![Page 20: Joakim Sunden - Scaling Agile at Spotify for MassTLC](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050613/589d9d5b1a28abfb3d8b5f37/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Alignment enables Autonomy
High Alignment
High Autonomy
Build a bridge!
Micromanaging organization Indifferent culture
Entrepreneurial organization Chaotic culture
Authoritative organization Conformist culture
Innovative organization Collaborative culture
We need to cross the river
Figure out how!We need to cross
the river
Low Alignment
Low Autonomy
Hope someone is working on the river
problem…
