Comment of Strategy as a language : Part 2

As you can see from my last post (Comment on a Strategy 3.0 :Part 1), Organization 3.0 and all of my 3.0 series of models and their theories are based on the natural evolution of Humanity in the tides of time instead of the phases of an organizational development and its levels.

The third shift in the organizational paradigm has already started in some areas of the world however, it is still in an infant stage.  The shift toward Organization 3.0 has been triggered mainly by the imminent melt down of the Socio economical system and its models as well as an accelerated advancement in technology especially in the areas of information technology and its applications, such as AI, across the industry sectors.

One thing I should remind the reader of Organization 3.0, as well as all the rest of the 3.0 series of my models is that they are not the one size fit all mold or a frame.  Structural design and its operational strategy can be as diverse as your imagination can create as long as the organization 3.0 principles are built into the design and its operation. Therefore, the 3.0 model can be adapted to any types and stages of organizations in any scales across industries, allowing an organization to naturally evolve into its optimal 3.0 model.

For further description of Organization 3.0, please refer to the introductory presentation " Organization 3.0" at http://masterlingual.academy

Comment on Strategy as a language :Part 1

The basic concept of Organization 3.0 I introduced in the previous post comes from " The Third Wave" by Alvin Toffler. The first edition was published in 1980 and I read the book for the first time in the Summer of 1982 when I was in a high school. He has expanded his theories further in his subsequent works since 1980 however, the ideas and the theories in the book has made a profound impression in my mind that has influenced my view on the history of Human evolution.
And almost 20 years after he introduced "The Third Wave", I introduced my first Organization 3.0 theory along with other 3.0 models such as, Communication 3.0, Leadership 3.0, Strategy 3.0 and Society 3.0, all of which are derived from his wave theory, in that the model numbering, 3.0, 2.0,1.0, indicates the phases of Human evolution over the course of the history of Humanity as we know it. All of my 3.0 series of models and their concepts correspond with the frame of time and the concepts of " The Third Wave"

With these in mind, I am going to elaborate little further on the Organizaiton 3.0 with its relation to other 3.0 models.
First, I am going to differentiate each phase of evolution of an organization in general for the argument sake.

Organization 1.0 can be characterized by its authoritarian model with relatively simple structure and system while Organization 2.0 has more complex system with mechanistic characteristics signified by its functionally departmentalized structure and its management method.  The typical example of Organization 1.0 model is the organization under dictatorship, which were common in most regions of the world, especially Europe, up until 18th century.

As for Organization 2.0, the shift from 1.0 model had started in around 17th century in relatively small and isolated cases, and so called the industrial revolution started in 18th century accelerated the shift toward highly functional Organization 2.0 model.  The most significant difference between Organization 1.0 and 2.0 is in their underlying shift in the Social system, where the agricultural evolution in the First Wave was what triggered and drove the shift toward 1.0 model, while the 2.0 model was triggered and driven by the shift in moral principle(interpretation of enlightenment in Christendom) and technological innovation, of which Capitalism and Democracy are their products.

With these in mind, I am going to elaborate little further on the subject of Organization 3.0 and its relation with other 3.0 models in my next post.
