The Responsive Organization is a network of all the people who want to help their organizations become more responsive to a world that is very different to that of the Industrial Age. Together, we can support and influence each other to make this change happen faster.

The Responsive Organization unconference in the UK was the first time a lot of its members had met. Some great connections were made and new things learned, and the sentiment at the end of the day was “what can we do next?”

Here are three simple things that you could do, whether you were at the event or not:

  1. Grow the network: Tell the story of the Responsive Organization to other ‘green dots’ and like-minded colleagues. Arrange a co-working session to discuss ideas and potential experiments (like Unbound). Get some of these people to meet for coffee. Help to make the network stronger.
  2. Share your pieces of the puzzle: Collectively, the movement’s members have experienced every successful shift in every industry, every challenge and solution. We all have one or more pieces of the puzzle. Share yours to help others complete their picture and complete yours in return. You could do this by writing about your experiences, or highlighting a story you already know exists at #responsiveorg .
  3. Create your own story: You and your group of like-minded people can experiment with working in a more Responsive way. It doesn’t have to be big, or risky (the best habits are formed from small changes). Share what you’re going to attempt, you’ll be surprised how the rest of the movement can help. Whether you succeed or fail, you’ll have moved things forwards.
