Post Bureaucratic Organizations

November 6, 2009 @ Herding Cats from Glen B. Alleman


Pretending for the moment that we are over the issue that 2.0 processes do not start with 2.0 tools, Kailash Awati has a good post on on Post Bureaucratic Organizations.

The discussion here is how to manage projects in the absence of full command and control. This new paradigm is present in the Integrated Product Team (IPT) environment. An IPT project is a multidisciplinary group of people who are collectively responsible for delivering a defined product or process.

In these environments collaboration and "flattened" organizations are comment. IPT are mandated by DoD and DOE contracts. We're working a $100M DOE CO2 sequestration project where 3 major players are sharing the preliminary design and validation of the power plant. The Project Management Plan (PMP) describes the interaction between all the IPT's and how they will collaborate at the top level to assure the project reaches its "done" state.
