The only way you can change a complex system, which all organizations are, is through experimentation. It’s through iteration. We can’t know exactly how to fix any given tension.
Feeling Inspired? Here Are the Actions You Can Take Now:
Sit down with your team and a blank copy of the [OS Canvas](https://medium.com/the-ready/the-operating-system-canvas-420b8b4df062). Ask yourselves, “What is getting in the way of us doing the best work of our lives?” and talk about where those tensions are showing up in your organization’s OS.
Think about what it means for your organization to be fundamentally People Positive and Complexity Conscious. What of your current policies and ways of working are NOT this way
Identify one experiment that you could lead within your team or organization. What’s your hypothesis? How will you know if this experiment is successful? How can you get started with it as soon as possible?
