The OASIS Model: how adaptive organizations thrive.
OASIS (Open, Autonomous, Symbiotic, Intelligent, Sustainable) is a framework for organizations that must keep adapting in a fast-changing world. It draws on organizational behaviour, data science and ecosystem dynamics, and it shapes how every product on this site is designed.
Mindset, behaviour and platforms for adaptation
Understanding each principle (and the strategies behind it) is how an organization starts its journey to become more agile, resilient and innovative.
Open
Healthy network flows between people, teams and partners, taking in feedback from the wider environment to exchange ideas and resources and encode knowledge.
Autonomous
Purpose-driven learning and knowledge reuse, in a culture of continuous improvement that responds quickly to new information.
Symbiotic
Humans and machines co-evolving, each contributing their strengths to drive growth and resilience.
Intelligent
Individual, collective and artificial intelligence combined, to make the right decisions at the right time.
Sustainable
Biomimicking thriving ecosystems: a balance between order and freedom, structure and redundancy.
Stay in the window of viability
Like a thriving natural ecosystem, an adaptive organization balances structure and freedom. In that window it is robust and resilient at once, able to absorb shocks and still change course, whatever its size.
OASIS, put to work
OASIS is not only a theory. Each product applies it: open data flows, autonomous agents, humans and machines working together, collective intelligence, and processes balanced for resilience.
