- 1. Global Network for SmarT Organization Design Purpose Participants Principles Agenda Contact We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. Albert Einstein Based on Socio-Technical systems design and like-minded organizational theories and practices for the 21st century [SmarT] = Co-creation of organizations as systems that thrive in this digital age with Everyone involved in control, improvement and innovation for high performance in Productivity, Quality of Life and Human Relationships.
- 2. For over 70 years, there has been a community of academics and practitioners discovering and designing a balance that integrates people, technology, and organization to create humane and productive work systems. A rich body of theory and practice is available. Now, in a turbulent digital world, “SMART” organizing builds upon this tradition. Our Purpose as a Global Network: Promote and support international growth of local/regional networks committed to advancing SmarT theories and practices Facilitate communication and shared learning among diverse and dispersed researchers and practitioners Encourage collaborative (action) research and documentation of good practices to address challenges that are shared globally Purpose Participants Principles Agenda Contact
- 3. The global network for SmarT organization design started as a joint initiative of the STS Roundtable (North America) and the Ulbo de Sitter (USI) Institute (Netherlands and Belgium). Recently the STS Kompetansenettverk (Norway) has joined us. In the United Kingdom, Germany and Australia, our colleagues are discovering possibilities for starting similar local networks. The local networks are autonomous and consist of Academics, Managers, Engineers, IT and Human Resource professionals, Organizational Consultants, Students, and Union representatives. Feel welcome to join us as a network or as an individual: Contact us. Click on the Links below--visit our member organization websites. See all the Resources that each organization has to offer.

- 4. Three inter-related Perspectives for SmarT Organization Design in the Digital Era Socio-Ecological Perspective Is both about a continuously evolving negotiated order of system boundary and purpose among diverse interacting institutional actors and their simultaneous pursuit of alternate futures Socio-Technical Systems Perspective Is both about self-organized work systems with an optimal combination of human and digital-technical capability for value creation and a learning infrastructure for scaling learning to the entire ecosystem to maintain rapid innovation. Socio-Psychological Perspective Is both about culture enactment as a ’stable bridge’ for continuous development and growth of trust among diverse individuals and groups within bounded organizations and their ecosystem and culture enactment as a ’disruptive force’’ to build new bridges to people with different thinking for a rapid pace of innovation. 4 www.moderntimesworkplace.com/archives/archives.html The Social Engagement of the Social Sciences: A Tavistock Anthology
