#26 Focus on Structure To Accelerate Innovation - Nina, Consultant for Modern Organization Design & Agile Transformation
Don't focus on symptoms, but focus on structures that accelerate innovation, Nina says. We can have the best talent in the world, but if we don’t understand how the organization works, what market challenges need to be addressed, and what structure is required to enable effective and motivated teams to address market challenges and digitize, we will demotivate people, says Nina Eichholz. Nina Eichholz is a founder of several start-ups, a certified business coach and knows the consulting business like the back of her hand as she's worked at Siemens In-house consulting for many years. As an entrepreneur, engineer, and consultant for modern organizational development, she knows every side of value creation. She has supported medium-sized businesses and large corporations in digitizing, and improving their positioning on the market.

Show Notes
Leaders ask the wrong questions when they digitize: “How can we dissolve silos to be more innovative? Build a “trust culture” for more ownership? How can we be agile, faster, and more competitive?” Leaders tackle symptoms instead of identifying root causes that hinder speed, innovation, collaboration, and growth.
Key insight from the conversation on where our thinking goes wrong when we don’t understand:
- The market problem: What’s changed? What new market problem is the organization confronted with?
- The type of problem: Do we face a complicated problem? Or a complex problem?
- The structure to solve the problem: If it’s a complicated problem, process and knowledge will solve it. If it’s a complex problem then group intelligence and smart experimentation is required, which can be attained through agile, scrum, and/or self-organized teams.
Answer these questions to empower your teams by providing the right structure.
