Become an octopus organization

Organizations push for agility but still rely on structures that slow every shift. The Octopus Organization looks at the conditioned habits that keep companies stuck and the small levers that create real movement. This new book highlights how cohesion and autonomy can work together, tapping into the distributed intelligence already inside your teams. With examples from companies that redesigned their approach to change, it shows how continuous adaptation grows from everyday decisions instead of massive overhauls.
