Four Organizational Design Issues

Leadership and governance
What team do we need to pilot the process in terms of capabilities, leadership style...?
“From Egosystems to Ecosystems”
![Page 11: Working for sustainability transformation in an academic environment: the case of itdUPM](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/5880046c1a28ab421b8b498d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Structure: a network organization
How to create new spaces that really promote cross-unit relationships, fostering a sense of community and an open culture of trust?
A networked organization is…
More than a “sexy” organization chart based on nodes and links.More than a word that is repeated insistently.
An enabling, organic space where interactions are crucial,… where processes and management systems are far from
bureaucracies,… where strategic behaviour is far from formal planning, reinforcing
emergent strategies.

Incentives
Which are the incentives that we really have at our disposal to stimulate internal collaboration?
3 Ms: • Meaning• Mastery • Membership
When only intrinsic motivators are available
![Page 13: Working for sustainability transformation in an academic environment: the case of itdUPM](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/5880046c1a28ab421b8b498d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Identities
How to wear two or three hats simultaneously (belonging to a node, to a cluster and to a network)?
A new institutional framework had to be negotiated (former institutional options -institutes and research centres- were not conceived for networked institutions)

Testimony: “An amazing experience both from academic and human perspective, thanks to the method to build upon knowledge sharing”

itdUPM today (after 4 years)
Growing figures: more than 200 members; increasing budget, high numbers of applicants to the Master Degree
A wide international network (companies, NGOs, international agencies, other universities…)
And a new infrastructure designed as an enabling and collaborative spaces
![Page 29: Working for sustainability transformation in an academic environment: the case of itdUPM](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062904/5880046c1a28ab421b8b498d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Final thoughtsSustainable ecosystem?
How to increase collective leadership? How to implement efficient incentives?
Long term impact on behaviour? From concrete experience to systemic change
How to measure this impact? Do we need other form of measuring?
