Episode 34: The Fractal Organization by Patrick Hoverstadt

In this episode, we explore 'The Fractal Organization' by Patrick Hoverstadt. In 'The Fractal Organization,' Patrick Hoverstadt makes Stafford Beer's Viable System Model usable for practical managers, arguing that a handful of laws govern whether an organisation lives or dies. Covers Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety, the five systems every viable business repeats at every scale, trust-building monitoring, measuring viability rather than targets, strategic risk, and his field guide of twenty-one organisational pathologies.
