The four phases of
organizational evolution




Course overview


This course describes the three phases of organizational development/evolution (pioneering phase,
differentiation phase, and integration phase) developed by Bernard Lievegoed in 1969 and expanded by the
fourth associative phase by Friedrich Glasl in 1993 accompanied by Beyond-Budgeting-Organizations that
reached the integration phase or the associative phase either by transformation or sustaining the alternative
model since the pioneering phase. Required knowledge is a basic understanding of the Beyond-Budgeting-
Model, knowledge of Theory X and Theory Y from Douglas McGregor and basic knowledge of open
innovation and crowdsourcing/collective intelligence.

Introduction


Bernard Lievegoed's concept of the three phases of organizational development is based on the General
System Theory of Niklas Luhmann and is also linked to Cybernetics, that sees organizations as living social
systems that evolve like humans or plants. Further foundations of the original three phases of organizational
development is the “Freedom” philosophy of Rudolf Steiner.


According to Lievegoed every organization evolves after foundation in different phases (pioneering phase,
differentiation phase, and integration phase) like a human evolves from a child to an adult. Each
organizational phase is thereby linked to a specific organizational form, leadership style and interaction with
the system's environment. In 1993 Friedrich Glasl added a fourth phase, the associative phase, which is
closely linked to the concept of the “lean enterprise”. Further Glasl notes that the forth associate phase is not
the end of organizational development, but there could be also a fifth phase that is merely linked to beyond
time and space and which is not so material.


The description of the four phases can serve as an diagnostic to determine the status of an organization.




                                                                                                           Page 4
The organizational evolution pathway according to Lievegoed/Glasl and
Beyond Budgeting



Originally to Lievegoed/Glasl each organization evolves from the pioneering phase to the differentiation
phase to the integration phase and finally to the associative phase. The change to a new phase is always
accompanied by a crises with specific symptoms to which a new solution is searched.


With reference to the BBRT research and the Beyond-Budgeting-Model, the problems of traditional
Budgeting which served as the initial starting point of the BBRT research, can be seen as one of the
indicators of the differentiation phase's crises symptoms that affects the entire organization / the entire
system. Correctly the BBRT stated that budgeting is merely a symptom of a deeper problem with the
command-and-control management model that reflects the differentiation phase.


Like the Beyond-Budgeting-Movement Lievegoed/Glasl see not the curing of the symptoms of a phase's
crises as essential, but to transform completely to a new phase, or in Lievegoed/Glasl's words to renew the
organization.


Noncompliance with Beyond Budgeting is that an organization cannot evolve according to Lievegoed/Glasl
from the pioneering phase into the integration phase. Thus this issue has to be evaluated further in detail
within the pioneering phase. Furthermore it is not possible to evolve directly into the differentiation phase
(thus leaving the pioneering phase out).


With reference to this chart it is to note, that it inspired formally tayloristic organizations to transform to
Beyond Budgeting. Dm drogeriemarkt (Germany) and Paradigma (Germany) both became aware that the
organization was stuck within the differentiation phase. Lievegoed's influence can further very good seen at
dm drogeriemarkt in firstly that the underlaying philosophy of Rudolf Steiner was adopted and the the aim of
the integration phase that “all employees can and will act intelligent in the sense of the entire organization”
is verbally integrated into dm drogeriemarkt's organizational culture.

The four phases of organizational evolution


The pioneering phase

Thought the vision and creativity of an pioneer the organization is founded and starts is evolutionary
pathway always within the pioneering phase. Lievegoed researched organizations, especially subsidiaries
abroad, that were initially founded as “differentiation phase” organizations, but shortly failed. From the
beginning on the entire organization is created outside-in to fulfill a customer need. The pioneers own
leadership style influences the entire organization. Usually it is autocratic. With reference to Beyond
Budgeting it is to conclude that the specific leadership styles of the pioneers were initially in line with the
devolved leadership style of Beyond Budgeting, that finally resulted in maintaining the alternative model
even over decades and generations. This can for example be seen in the leadership philosophy of Bill Gore
(W.L. Gore & Associates), Dennis Bakke (AES), Roger Sant (AES), Richard Branson (Virgin), Linus Torvalds
(Linux), and Klaus Kobjoll (Schindlerhof). The best metaphor to describe the pioneering phase is a big
family.


Key principles of the Pioneering phase are:


          direct and informal communication between all members, all employees know each other
    •

          the pioneer speaks the language of his employees, often he or she solely recruits new staff and
    •

          recruits people that matches his or hers personal style and personality
          no formalized and written values, rules, regulations, obligations, policies and procedures,
    •

          organizational charts, job descriptions, etc. exist
          the knowledge about customers is like very aspect of the organization very intuitive
    •

          the organization is built around the employees: e.g. the work is linked to individual employees; in
    •

          this way every employee tries to do the work which matches his or hers own interests and abilities
          (“job sculpting”); new staff is not hired for a specific function, but to usually to start with a tasks
          that matches his or hers skills and to further develop around talents and interests. Usually the
          pioneer recruits other persons that do not only reflect his or hers own style and personality but are
          also co- entrepreneurs.
          the style of work and problem solving is improving and the true force of a start-up and assures the
    •

          adaptability of the organization e.g. to adapt to changing customer needs or customer orders
          no staff to take care of HR issues exists and like a big family employees care for each other
    •


                                                                                                           Page 7
the pioneering organization works outside in from customer order to customer order without
    •

        planning to much ahead and without an inventory (“sense-and-respond philosophy”)
        all customers are known and individual relationships are nurtured (no anonymous market exists)
    •

        transparency
    •

        control is based on the customer and the annual profit and loss statement
    •

        if a single persons leaves the organization usually a tied to this person service or product cannot be
    •

        offered any longer to the customer
        assumptions about human nature: Theory Y view
    •




Typical first crises symptoms of the pioneering phase are:


        a too fast changing environment (incl. technological changes and new arising competitors) to which
    •

        pace the pioneers cannot follow
        fast organic growth with increasingly unknown customers
    •

        new hires that do not match the leadership style of the pioneering organization
    •



If the start-up is able to cope with these symptoms, it enters the so called overripe pioneering phase and the
following new crises symptoms arise:


        the employees do not anymore trust in the intuition of the pioneer and his or hers image decreases
    •

        and the autocratic leadership style of the pioneer dominates
        decreasing profits
    •

        conflicts arise within the leadership style
    •

        customer complaints increase and can't be handled substantially any more
    •

        strength and flexibility decrease
    •

        communication problems, lack of information
    •

        decreasing motivation
    •



The crisis symptoms of the pioneering phase usually result in a loss of the intuition and the visionary
strength of the pioneer and therefore the market environment is lost. Further customer relationships are
more and more replaced by economically efficiency calculations.




                                                                                                        Page 8
The differentiation phase

The answer to the crises of the overripe pioneering phase is “Scientific Management”, better known by the
tayloristic or command-and-control system. As Lievegoed points out: “The word “scientific” was without
doubt chosen to distinguish the “unscientific”, personal organization design of the pioneering phase”. Both
Frederic Winslow Taylor as also Henry Fayol are the founding fathers of “Scientific Management” to deliver
maximizing efficiency. In this context also the scientific view of the homo oeconomicus is created, and both
applied to employees and customers. Within the pioneering phase products were sold that met the
customer's needs. Now within the differentiation phase aggressive selling of non-customized mass products
takes place, the function of sales promotion is created therefore. Products are pushed into the market
(“make-and-sell” philosophy) and customers are incentivated to buy them, regardless of customer needs.
The best metaphor to describe the differentiation phase is a dead machine.


Their principles of the differentiation phase can be seen as the antithesis of the pioneering phase:


        instead of chaos order exists
    •

        instead of improvising planning takes place
    •

        instead of informal relationships formal relationships dominate
    •

        instead of a person the tasks are the main driver
    •

        instead of intuition rationalism
    •

        instead of organic mechanized
    •

        instead of personalized unpersonalized
    •

        instead of situational systematic-in-principle
    •




                                                                                                       Page 9
Further main principles of the differentiation phase are:


        Mechanization and Automation – human work is more and more replaced by machines
    •



        Standardization – Standardizations aims to create standardization and therefore exchangeable. It
    •

        both related to technical standardization as also processes and working methods standardization and
        enabled during the Industrial Revolution mass production. With reference to process and methods
        standardization, standardized quality norms, standard job descriptions and functional descriptions,
        performance evaluations, standardized processes and work orders evolve.


        Specialization – to generate economies of scale and scope. In this context also planning, execution
    •

        and control are separated. Both standardization and mechanization/automation are possible due to
        specialization.


        Coordination – to link specialization together. Coordination is created by vertical Theory X style
    •

        leadership, the control span, staff and line organization, renumeration (Theory X view), top-down
        communication, planned personal trainings.


        Formalization – this principle may be seen as the direct answer of the pioneering organization.
    •

        Hierarchical structures which are separated into functions and further departments, competences,
        tasks, policies and procedures are rationally documented and can be seen explicitly in job
        descriptions, formulas, hierarchical organizational charts, rules, regulations, planning, and
        budgeting.


        Assumptions about human nature: Theory X view
    •




Furthermore the formerly outside-in orientation is replaced by an inside-out philosophy, with management's
main task to steer and control the internal structure. Instead of focusing on the customers who were part of
the system within the pioneering phase, internal plans determine production and mass products are sold to
an often anonymous market, that is not part of the system (“make-and-sell philosophy”). Further a key
aspect of the differentiation phase is the rational, depending on the Theory X and homo oeconomicus
mindset, separation of tasks, and policies and procedures. Over bureaucratization and over formalization
lead to a loss of the entrepreneurial mind-set and spirit.

Typical crises symptoms comprising the entire system of the differentiation phase are e.g.


        inflexibility due to formalization and bureaucratization issues that cannot handle rapid changes
    •

        (increasing complexity and dynamics from the General System Theorie's point of view) within the
        system's environment
        coordination problems
    •

        problems of the internal vertical communication: the communication pathways within the hierarchic
    •

        structure are too long, the organization's sphere of activity is not made explicit to the front-line from
        the top, vice versa market information is poorly passed from the front-line to the top
        external communication problem: the living contact with the customer is lost and replaced by an
    •

        internal make-and-sell philosophy with standardized mass products
        process problems: intersections of processes do not match and nobody within the organization feels
    •

        responsible, the processes are too static and do not allow autonomous responsibility
        problems with the staff-and-line organization
    •

        decreasing motivation closely linked with the specialized and formalized work, the decreasing
    •

        knowledge of the interconnectivity of the system and therefore also the decreasing of the meaning
        of the work, further the identification with the organization's goals (the work gets less fun)
        increasing cost cut measures
    •

        increasing efficiency improving measures, or vice versa decreasing of unproductively measures
    •

        dysfunctional (unethical) behavior due to fixed and predefined targets (fixed performance contracts)
    •

        e.g. within the bonus system
        management's inability to trust people and therefore relying on management control
    •

        quickly out-of date budgets and plans (usually after about 3 months)
    •

        rivalries between departments
    •

        impeded work flow

The integration phase


The symptoms of the differentiation phase's crises according to Lievegoed/Glasl can only be solved if
“intrapreneuring” takes place, which means that every employee acts within the sphere of activity as an
entrepreneur. As formerly the differentiation phase was the antitheses of the pioneering phase, the
integration phase is the synthesis of both the pioneering and the differentiation phase, the synthesis of the
advantages of both phases. As Lievegoed points out: “The concept of the integration phase brings several
strengths of former two phases to a fertile synthesis. The pioneering phase flourished the start-up, because
the entrepreneurial spirit of the founder infected all employees and all cells of the organization. But the
entrepreneurial mindset and action was retrieved through the identification with the pioneer. The integration
brings the entrepreneurial spirit differently to life. It is not only related to the charismatic person at the top,
but the entire system of the organization is created that all employees can act on all places within the
organization entrepreneurial and responsible. Because of the intelligent action of every person together with
others towards a shared goal will determine the performance of the organization of the third phase.” The
best metaphor to describe the integration phase is a living organism.


The final aim is that according to Lievegoed/Glasl that “all employees can and will act intelligent in the sense
of the entire organization”.


The key characteristics of the integration phase which were outlined in 1969 by Lievegoed do to our own
surprise nearly reflect the Beyond-Budgeting-Model (relating concepts are added in brackets):




        horizontal orientation instead of vertical orientation [job sculpting, functional integration,
    •

        organization, coordination]
        employees are either focused on internal or external customers, the focus is on the work flow and
    •

        not on on supervisors [customer, organization]
        the organization is a living system that from time to time renews its products, markets, structures,
    •

        and procedures
        the human nature reflects Theory Y, people strive to find fulfillment within their jobs which is
    •

        enabled by an environment that enables employees to act as single people or as teams intelligent in
        the sense of the entire system. In order that everyone can act intelligent in the sense of the
        organization, goals, vision, mission, shared values, and the business model has to be made
        transparent by all employees [transparency, sphere of activity]


                                                                                                            Page 12
the organization works again outside-in from the customer [sense-and-respond philosophy,

    customer]
    a high autonomy and responsibility [autonomy, responsibility]
•

    the structure comprises self-regulating organizational units with responsibility [organization,
•

    responsibility, autonomy]
    to not resist in chaos, “such an organization needs clear, concrete, recognized, and above all lived
•

    mission statements, principles, and fundamentals. These are the decision basis and the criteria for
    the later on control, if the one's own responsibility is linked to the entire system. These principles
    are part besides the customer-orientation of the important integrative instruments of the integration
    phase.” (Lievegoed/Glasl) [responsibility, sphere of activity, customers, values].
    Self-initiative and self-control [autonomy]
•

    allocation of information to persons that need them [transparency]
•

    external goals [goals, controls]
•

    decentralized autonomous and linked teams entitled federative units: “An autonomous unit can truly
•

    only function well, if it has its own steering organ. This means, that central functions like
    administration, planing, HR etc. are also decentralized.” (Lievegoed/Glasl) [autonomy, organization,
    functional integration]
    leader's role is to give upon request a helping hand, to give proposals or to give support to enable
•

    autonomy and entrepreneurial thinking . Instead of conducting the employees, the leaders foster the
    study of new problems. [devolved leadership, autonomy, responsibility]




                                                                                                       Page 13
The associative phase


The forth phase entitled the associate phase aims to associatively link the organization's environment
(customers, suppliers, etc.) to the system, that it can proactively and cooperative-dialog-based interact with
the environment. The associate phase of the organizational development is an expansion by Friedrich Glasl,
a student of Lievegoed, in 1993 additional to the original three phases of Lievegoed. The phase itself is
derived from the concept of the “lean enterprise” from the Beyond-Budgeting-Organization of Toyota.
Integral part of the lean enterprise concept is that is it not related to specific tools like quality cycles, kaizen
or total quality management (TQM) but to an interlinked and coherent new philosophy on a new mindset, a
paradigm shift in which has in mind not only the single value creation stream of the organization, but the
complete value creation stream of the entire supple chain.



The three former phases of organizational development were clearly defined by a border between the
organization and its environment which now vanishes within the associative phase. More and more trust-
based relationships with external stakeholders are nurtured accompanied by a shared exchange of interests
(e.g. profit sharing) and entire supply-chain-management. Glasl describes there organizational forms as
company-biotopes, which are closely linked to the Japanese keiretsu system. Today the concepts of open
innovation or external crowdsourcing/collective intelligence may be a good example on how the border
between the system and the environment vanishes. With reference to these concepts the Beyond-Budgeting-
Pioneers Google and Dell serve as goods examples for open innovation.1

The best metaphor to describe the associative phase is the organization as part if a living organizational
biotope.

The evolution of the organizational culture


As the pioneering phase or integration phase shows first symptoms of a crises, a cultural conflict takes
usually place that can destroy the entire organization. The transformation to a new phase means always to
transform to a new organizational culture. This is always accompanied with the problem, that the old mind-
sets and behaviors are deeply entrenched within the people.


Key mindsets that are deeply entrenched (and therefore have to be get rid of) of the pioneering and the
integration phase are according to Lievegoed/Glasl:


        Pioneering phase: strong influence of the management style and personality of the pioneer; values,
    •

        ideas and orientation is lived as archetype by the pioneer and directly communicated to the
        employees. This culture can best be described as a persona cult. Material symbols like products,
        buildings, machines have a subordinate role.


        Differentiation phase: using machines and techniques, new behavior patterns are implemented. The
    •

        underlaying values and norms are usually not communicated and discussed by the employees.
        Material symbols like products, buildings and machines dominate.


On the way into the integration phase the employees have themselves learned to actively transform the
organization by themselves which this is fully compliant with the consultative transformation approach to
Beyond Budgeting. Usually the old organizational cultures are reflected and new values, vision and mission
statements have to be lived as archetypes of key people within the organization without creating the
persona cult of the pioneering phase. Only this approach to transformation guarantees that the organization
evolves into a self-learning living organism that firstly reach the associative phase by itself and secondly can
maintain the alternative model in the future. Over decades and generations.

Is the associate phase a contemporary concept?


As already mentioned Friedrich Glasl added in 1993 the associative phase based upon the concept of the
“lean enterprise” of the MIT research at Toyota. From our point of view, the associative phase can today be
seen as a design flaw. In 1993 the MIT research revealing the success factors of Toyota may be seen radical
or revolutionary, but these practices e.g. supplier and customer integration seem today common standards,
that can be applied both by start-ups, differentiation and integration phase organizations. Also modern
concepts of open innovation or crowdsourcing/collective intelligence can be applied within the phases of
pioneering, differentiation and integration.

The evolution path of Beyond Budgeting Organizations

         The next chart shows todays Beyond-Budgeting-Organization that either maintained the alternative model or
         transformed to the new model. These two ways are referred to the “two ways to work on the model” (curing
         only the symptoms of the differentiation phase would be the expression “to work within the model”).

The transformation from the differentiation phase to the integration phase


Practical transformation tools and methods to transform an organization within the differentiation phase to
the Beyond-Budgeting-Model representing the integration phase were developed within the BBTN and the
BBRT and are today known as the consultative transformation approach using the Double Helix
Transformation Framework (DHTF) that uses the mind-set of the integration phase.

Similar concepts of organizational evolution


Lievegoed/Glasl were not the only persons worldwide that described different phases of organizational
evolution. E.g. A.D. Chandler described in 1962 the same four phases of organizational development as
Lievegoed/Glasl. Similar concepts that are not fully in line with Lievegoed/Glasl works are organizational
development phases by B. R. Scott (1971), J. Child (1977), L. Greiner (1972), C. Puempkin / J. Prange
(1991) and K. Bleicher (1991).

  • 4. Introduction Bernard Lievegoed's concept of the three phases of organizational development is based on the General System Theory of Niklas Luhmann and is also linked to Cybernetics, that sees organizations as living social systems that evolve like humans or plants. Further foundations of the original three phases of organizational development is the “Freedom” philosophy of Rudolf Steiner. According to Lievegoed every organization evolves after foundation in different phases (pioneering phase, differentiation phase, and integration phase) like a human evolves from a child to an adult. Each organizational phase is thereby linked to a specific organizational form, leadership style and interaction with the system's environment. In 1993 Friedrich Glasl added a fourth phase, the associative phase, which is closely linked to the concept of the “lean enterprise”. Further Glasl notes that the forth associate phase is not the end of organizational development, but there could be also a fifth phase that is merely linked to beyond time and space and which is not so material. The description of the four phases can serve as an diagnostic to determine the status of an organization. Page 4
  • 5. The organizational evolution pathway according to Lievegoed/Glasl and Beyond Budgeting Originally to Lievegoed/Glasl each organization evolves from the pioneering phase to the differentiation phase to the integration phase and finally to the associative phase. The change to a new phase is always accompanied by a crises with specific symptoms to which a new solution is searched. With reference to the BBRT research and the Beyond-Budgeting-Model, the problems of traditional Budgeting which served as the initial starting point of the BBRT research, can be seen as one of the indicators of the differentiation phase's crises symptoms that affects the entire organization / the entire system. Correctly the BBRT stated that budgeting is merely a symptom of a deeper problem with the command-and-control management model that reflects the differentiation phase. Like the Beyond-Budgeting-Movement Lievegoed/Glasl see not the curing of the symptoms of a phase's crises as essential, but to transform completely to a new phase, or in Lievegoed/Glasl's words to renew the organization. Noncompliance with Beyond Budgeting is that an organization cannot evolve according to Lievegoed/Glasl from the pioneering phase into the integration phase. Thus this issue has to be evaluated further in detail within the pioneering phase. Furthermore it is not possible to evolve directly into the differentiation phase (thus leaving the pioneering phase out). With reference to this chart it is to note, that it inspired formally tayloristic organizations to transform to Beyond Budgeting. Dm drogeriemarkt (Germany) and Paradigma (Germany) both became aware that the organization was stuck within the differentiation phase. Lievegoed's influence can further very good seen at dm drogeriemarkt in firstly that the underlaying philosophy of Rudolf Steiner was adopted and the the aim of the integration phase that “all employees can and will act intelligent in the sense of the entire organization” is verbally integrated into dm drogeriemarkt's organizational culture.

  • 7. The four phases of organizational evolution The pioneering phase Thought the vision and creativity of an pioneer the organization is founded and starts is evolutionary pathway always within the pioneering phase. Lievegoed researched organizations, especially subsidiaries abroad, that were initially founded as “differentiation phase” organizations, but shortly failed. From the beginning on the entire organization is created outside-in to fulfill a customer need. The pioneers own leadership style influences the entire organization. Usually it is autocratic. With reference to Beyond Budgeting it is to conclude that the specific leadership styles of the pioneers were initially in line with the devolved leadership style of Beyond Budgeting, that finally resulted in maintaining the alternative model even over decades and generations. This can for example be seen in the leadership philosophy of Bill Gore (W.L. Gore & Associates), Dennis Bakke (AES), Roger Sant (AES), Richard Branson (Virgin), Linus Torvalds (Linux), and Klaus Kobjoll (Schindlerhof). The best metaphor to describe the pioneering phase is a big family. Key principles of the Pioneering phase are: direct and informal communication between all members, all employees know each other • the pioneer speaks the language of his employees, often he or she solely recruits new staff and • recruits people that matches his or hers personal style and personality no formalized and written values, rules, regulations, obligations, policies and procedures, • organizational charts, job descriptions, etc. exist the knowledge about customers is like very aspect of the organization very intuitive • the organization is built around the employees: e.g. the work is linked to individual employees; in • this way every employee tries to do the work which matches his or hers own interests and abilities (“job sculpting”); new staff is not hired for a specific function, but to usually to start with a tasks that matches his or hers skills and to further develop around talents and interests. Usually the pioneer recruits other persons that do not only reflect his or hers own style and personality but are also co- entrepreneurs. the style of work and problem solving is improving and the true force of a start-up and assures the • adaptability of the organization e.g. to adapt to changing customer needs or customer orders no staff to take care of HR issues exists and like a big family employees care for each other • Page 7
  • 8. the pioneering organization works outside in from customer order to customer order without • planning to much ahead and without an inventory (“sense-and-respond philosophy”) all customers are known and individual relationships are nurtured (no anonymous market exists) • transparency • control is based on the customer and the annual profit and loss statement • if a single persons leaves the organization usually a tied to this person service or product cannot be • offered any longer to the customer assumptions about human nature: Theory Y view • Typical first crises symptoms of the pioneering phase are: a too fast changing environment (incl. technological changes and new arising competitors) to which • pace the pioneers cannot follow fast organic growth with increasingly unknown customers • new hires that do not match the leadership style of the pioneering organization • If the start-up is able to cope with these symptoms, it enters the so called overripe pioneering phase and the following new crises symptoms arise: the employees do not anymore trust in the intuition of the pioneer and his or hers image decreases • and the autocratic leadership style of the pioneer dominates decreasing profits • conflicts arise within the leadership style • customer complaints increase and can't be handled substantially any more • strength and flexibility decrease • communication problems, lack of information • decreasing motivation • The crisis symptoms of the pioneering phase usually result in a loss of the intuition and the visionary strength of the pioneer and therefore the market environment is lost. Further customer relationships are more and more replaced by economically efficiency calculations. Page 8
  • 9. The differentiation phase The answer to the crises of the overripe pioneering phase is “Scientific Management”, better known by the tayloristic or command-and-control system. As Lievegoed points out: “The word “scientific” was without doubt chosen to distinguish the “unscientific”, personal organization design of the pioneering phase”. Both Frederic Winslow Taylor as also Henry Fayol are the founding fathers of “Scientific Management” to deliver maximizing efficiency. In this context also the scientific view of the homo oeconomicus is created, and both applied to employees and customers. Within the pioneering phase products were sold that met the customer's needs. Now within the differentiation phase aggressive selling of non-customized mass products takes place, the function of sales promotion is created therefore. Products are pushed into the market (“make-and-sell” philosophy) and customers are incentivated to buy them, regardless of customer needs. The best metaphor to describe the differentiation phase is a dead machine. Their principles of the differentiation phase can be seen as the antithesis of the pioneering phase: instead of chaos order exists • instead of improvising planning takes place • instead of informal relationships formal relationships dominate • instead of a person the tasks are the main driver • instead of intuition rationalism • instead of organic mechanized • instead of personalized unpersonalized • instead of situational systematic-in-principle • Page 9
  • 10. Further main principles of the differentiation phase are: Mechanization and Automation – human work is more and more replaced by machines • Standardization – Standardizations aims to create standardization and therefore exchangeable. It • both related to technical standardization as also processes and working methods standardization and enabled during the Industrial Revolution mass production. With reference to process and methods standardization, standardized quality norms, standard job descriptions and functional descriptions, performance evaluations, standardized processes and work orders evolve. Specialization – to generate economies of scale and scope. In this context also planning, execution • and control are separated. Both standardization and mechanization/automation are possible due to specialization. Coordination – to link specialization together. Coordination is created by vertical Theory X style • leadership, the control span, staff and line organization, renumeration (Theory X view), top-down communication, planned personal trainings. Formalization – this principle may be seen as the direct answer of the pioneering organization. • Hierarchical structures which are separated into functions and further departments, competences, tasks, policies and procedures are rationally documented and can be seen explicitly in job descriptions, formulas, hierarchical organizational charts, rules, regulations, planning, and budgeting. Assumptions about human nature: Theory X view • Furthermore the formerly outside-in orientation is replaced by an inside-out philosophy, with management's main task to steer and control the internal structure. Instead of focusing on the customers who were part of the system within the pioneering phase, internal plans determine production and mass products are sold to an often anonymous market, that is not part of the system (“make-and-sell philosophy”). Further a key aspect of the differentiation phase is the rational, depending on the Theory X and homo oeconomicus mindset, separation of tasks, and policies and procedures. Over bureaucratization and over formalization lead to a loss of the entrepreneurial mind-set and spirit. Page 10
  • 11. Typical crises symptoms comprising the entire system of the differentiation phase are e.g. inflexibility due to formalization and bureaucratization issues that cannot handle rapid changes • (increasing complexity and dynamics from the General System Theorie's point of view) within the system's environment coordination problems • problems of the internal vertical communication: the communication pathways within the hierarchic • structure are too long, the organization's sphere of activity is not made explicit to the front-line from the top, vice versa market information is poorly passed from the front-line to the top external communication problem: the living contact with the customer is lost and replaced by an • internal make-and-sell philosophy with standardized mass products process problems: intersections of processes do not match and nobody within the organization feels • responsible, the processes are too static and do not allow autonomous responsibility problems with the staff-and-line organization • decreasing motivation closely linked with the specialized and formalized work, the decreasing • knowledge of the interconnectivity of the system and therefore also the decreasing of the meaning of the work, further the identification with the organization's goals (the work gets less fun) increasing cost cut measures • increasing efficiency improving measures, or vice versa decreasing of unproductively measures • dysfunctional (unethical) behavior due to fixed and predefined targets (fixed performance contracts) • e.g. within the bonus system management's inability to trust people and therefore relying on management control • quickly out-of date budgets and plans (usually after about 3 months) • rivalries between departments • impeded work flow • Page 11
  • 12. The integration phase The symptoms of the differentiation phase's crises according to Lievegoed/Glasl can only be solved if “intrapreneuring” takes place, which means that every employee acts within the sphere of activity as an entrepreneur. As formerly the differentiation phase was the antitheses of the pioneering phase, the integration phase is the synthesis of both the pioneering and the differentiation phase, the synthesis of the advantages of both phases. As Lievegoed points out: “The concept of the integration phase brings several strengths of former two phases to a fertile synthesis. The pioneering phase flourished the start-up, because the entrepreneurial spirit of the founder infected all employees and all cells of the organization. But the entrepreneurial mindset and action was retrieved through the identification with the pioneer. The integration brings the entrepreneurial spirit differently to life. It is not only related to the charismatic person at the top, but the entire system of the organization is created that all employees can act on all places within the organization entrepreneurial and responsible. Because of the intelligent action of every person together with others towards a shared goal will determine the performance of the organization of the third phase.” The best metaphor to describe the integration phase is a living organism. The final aim is that according to Lievegoed/Glasl that “all employees can and will act intelligent in the sense of the entire organization”. The key characteristics of the integration phase which were outlined in 1969 by Lievegoed do to our own surprise nearly reflect the Beyond-Budgeting-Model (relating concepts are added in brackets): horizontal orientation instead of vertical orientation [job sculpting, functional integration, • organization, coordination] employees are either focused on internal or external customers, the focus is on the work flow and • not on on supervisors [customer, organization] the organization is a living system that from time to time renews its products, markets, structures, • and procedures the human nature reflects Theory Y, people strive to find fulfillment within their jobs which is • enabled by an environment that enables employees to act as single people or as teams intelligent in the sense of the entire system. In order that everyone can act intelligent in the sense of the organization, goals, vision, mission, shared values, and the business model has to be made transparent by all employees [transparency, sphere of activity] Page 12
  • 13. the organization works again outside-in from the customer [sense-and-respond philosophy, • customer] a high autonomy and responsibility [autonomy, responsibility] • the structure comprises self-regulating organizational units with responsibility [organization, • responsibility, autonomy] to not resist in chaos, “such an organization needs clear, concrete, recognized, and above all lived • mission statements, principles, and fundamentals. These are the decision basis and the criteria for the later on control, if the one's own responsibility is linked to the entire system. These principles are part besides the customer-orientation of the important integrative instruments of the integration phase.” (Lievegoed/Glasl) [responsibility, sphere of activity, customers, values]. Self-initiative and self-control [autonomy] • allocation of information to persons that need them [transparency] • external goals [goals, controls] • decentralized autonomous and linked teams entitled federative units: “An autonomous unit can truly • only function well, if it has its own steering organ. This means, that central functions like administration, planing, HR etc. are also decentralized.” (Lievegoed/Glasl) [autonomy, organization, functional integration] leader's role is to give upon request a helping hand, to give proposals or to give support to enable • autonomy and entrepreneurial thinking . Instead of conducting the employees, the leaders foster the study of new problems. [devolved leadership, autonomy, responsibility] Page 13
  • 14. The associative phase The forth phase entitled the associate phase aims to associatively link the organization's environment (customers, suppliers, etc.) to the system, that it can proactively and cooperative-dialog-based interact with the environment. The associate phase of the organizational development is an expansion by Friedrich Glasl, a student of Lievegoed, in 1993 additional to the original three phases of Lievegoed. The phase itself is derived from the concept of the “lean enterprise” from the Beyond-Budgeting-Organization of Toyota. Integral part of the lean enterprise concept is that is it not related to specific tools like quality cycles, kaizen or total quality management (TQM) but to an interlinked and coherent new philosophy on a new mindset, a paradigm shift in which has in mind not only the single value creation stream of the organization, but the complete value creation stream of the entire supple chain. The three former phases of organizational development were clearly defined by a border between the organization and its environment which now vanishes within the associative phase. More and more trust- based relationships with external stakeholders are nurtured accompanied by a shared exchange of interests (e.g. profit sharing) and entire supply-chain-management. Glasl describes there organizational forms as company-biotopes, which are closely linked to the Japanese keiretsu system. Today the concepts of open innovation or external crowdsourcing/collective intelligence may be a good example on how the border between the system and the environment vanishes. With reference to these concepts the Beyond-Budgeting- Pioneers Google and Dell serve as goods examples for open innovation.1 The best metaphor to describe the associative phase is the organization as part if a living organizational biotope. 1 Google's open innovation initiative project 10^100: http://www.project10tothe100.com Dells's open innovation initiative IdeaStorm: http://www.ideastorm.com/ Page 14
  • 15. The evolution of the organizational culture As the pioneering phase or integration phase shows first symptoms of a crises, a cultural conflict takes usually place that can destroy the entire organization. The transformation to a new phase means always to transform to a new organizational culture. This is always accompanied with the problem, that the old mind- sets and behaviors are deeply entrenched within the people. Key mindsets that are deeply entrenched (and therefore have to be get rid of) of the pioneering and the integration phase are according to Lievegoed/Glasl: Pioneering phase: strong influence of the management style and personality of the pioneer; values, • ideas and orientation is lived as archetype by the pioneer and directly communicated to the employees. This culture can best be described as a persona cult. Material symbols like products, buildings, machines have a subordinate role. Differentiation phase: using machines and techniques, new behavior patterns are implemented. The • underlaying values and norms are usually not communicated and discussed by the employees. Material symbols like products, buildings and machines dominate. On the way into the integration phase the employees have themselves learned to actively transform the organization by themselves which this is fully compliant with the consultative transformation approach to Beyond Budgeting. Usually the old organizational cultures are reflected and new values, vision and mission statements have to be lived as archetypes of key people within the organization without creating the persona cult of the pioneering phase. Only this approach to transformation guarantees that the organization evolves into a self-learning living organism that firstly reach the associative phase by itself and secondly can maintain the alternative model in the future. Over decades and generations. Page 15
  • 16. Is the associate phase a contemporary concept? As already mentioned Friedrich Glasl added in 1993 the associative phase based upon the concept of the “lean enterprise” of the MIT research at Toyota. From our point of view, the associative phase can today be seen as a design flaw. In 1993 the MIT research revealing the success factors of Toyota may be seen radical or revolutionary, but these practices e.g. supplier and customer integration seem today common standards, that can be applied both by start-ups, differentiation and integration phase organizations. Also modern concepts of open innovation or crowdsourcing/collective intelligence can be applied within the phases of pioneering, differentiation and integration. Page 16
  • 17. The evolution path of Beyond Budgeting Organizations The next chart shows todays Beyond-Budgeting-Organization that either maintained the alternative model or transformed to the new model. These two ways are referred to the “two ways to work on the model” (curing only the symptoms of the differentiation phase would be the expression “to work within the model”).

  • 18. The transformation from the differentiation phase to the integration phase Practical transformation tools and methods to transform an organization within the differentiation phase to the Beyond-Budgeting-Model representing the integration phase were developed within the BBTN and the BBRT and are today known as the consultative transformation approach using the Double Helix Transformation Framework (DHTF) that uses the mind-set of the integration phase.

  • 19. Similar concepts of organizational evolution Lievegoed/Glasl were not the only persons worldwide that described different phases of organizational evolution. E.g. A.D. Chandler described in 1962 the same four phases of organizational development as Lievegoed/Glasl. Similar concepts that are not fully in line with Lievegoed/Glasl works are organizational development phases by B. R. Scott (1971), J. Child (1977), L. Greiner (1972), C. Puempkin / J. Prange (1991) and K. Bleicher (1991). Page 19
