Hypha Reorganization Program
This proposal has not been entered into the Hypha DHO for voting.
Purpose
The goal of this document is to start a dialogue to clarify the boundaries for Hypha and provide a much needed strategic framework to focus and prioritize our work in the future. Hypha is currently facing increasing internal tensions due to a missing strategy and inability to move the organization forward in a coherent way. As a result, there are too many conflicts that remain unresolved and too many opportunities that cannot be followed through. The purpose of this program is to further drive coordination costs down through a series of stages and decisions that prepares and positions the organization for much more to come while still operating in the context of regeneration and decentralization.
Metamorphosis by Philip Glass sonifying the changes Hypha is going through.
Approach
The idea is to reorganize Hypha toby reducereducing complexity, strengthenstrengthening cohesion and provideproviding a true north for everyone to move towards a more effective organization that is not pulled into many directions a once and that is able to focus on product development,development knowingwithout wheretoo itmany is going.distractions. This canprocess beis done through adisentanglement process& of disentanglementdecoupling (strip out any customunrelated elements), followed by prioritization (decide what comes first), and& rebuilding (activate a new strategy).
- Disentangle & decouple
- Prioritize & Rebuild
Disentangle
To frame the conversation, we start with a set of leading questions to help everyone focus on the important parts of the program. These questions are best discussed in a real-time session with key stakeholders of the organization, and each stage can have one or more sessions before moving on to the next stage.
Sensing into Hypha
- Where is our energy? our motivation to drive change? make an impact?
- Where is our boundary? our capacity limit? our level of execution?
- Where is our next destination? our expertise to go there? our next local maximum?
- What are our engines? our core products? our drivers?
- What is our relationship to Seeds - the currency, the movement?
- What is it that only we can do and few others can?
