Hi Christine,
as you easily can tell, I ain't Harrison. I gather he has not gotten up
yet considering the sun not shining on all of us at the same time.
Of course, I cant speak for him!
Still, here is my view, my assumptions on your issues:
All systems are selforganizing, that is the forces of selforganisation
are always active... sometimes hardly noticeable, sometimes very present.
So, neither you or I or Harrison or an armada of CEOs can keep an
organisations coherent and we would be fools not to leave it to the
forces of selforganisation. It, the system, could stay coherent more
easily if controls are reduced.
To have selforganisation do its thing (in every nook and cranny or for
the whole), you might try: Fill in.
For a real life and quite successful organisation including the
environment in which it moves and with which it interacts, have a look
(in six different languages all in one ebook: French, Chinese, English,
German, Spanish and Polish) at Practicing Open Space-Our First Ten Years
(in the meantime its been going on for 13 years), published as an ebook,

Have a grand day
cheers

Harrison,
In a self -organized system, how do you keep the organization coherent
as a whole ?
How do you make decisions that concern the whole organization ?

Paul – This piece from Zappos is interesting indeed. Though I must
say I do wonder why the Zapposites feel it necessary to organize a
self organizing system? As they say, “In a city, people and
businesses are self-organizing.” I agree, and why not just follow
the beaten path? Holarchy is a wonderful concept, and a good
description of what I think I experience in a self organizing
system. But why go for a knock-off when you can have the original?
Just let (invite) the system to self organize. It will work better,
and costs a lot less effort. As Stuart Kauffman might say, “order
for free.”____

Research shows that every time the size of a city doubles,
innovation or productivity per resident increases by 15 percent.
But when companies get bigger, innovation or productivity per
employee generally goes down. So we're trying to figure out how
to structure Zappos more like a city, and less like a
bureaucratic corporation. In a city, people and businesses are
self-organizing. We're trying to do the same thing by switching
from a normal hierarchical structure to a system called
Holacracy, which enables employees to act more like
entrepreneurs and self-direct their work instead of reporting to
a manager who tells them what to do.____
