What you'll learn

Meet your Enterprise OS: explore what it is, and is not

Naming and exploring its sense and response mechanisms, you can better understand how the EOS impacts desired outcomes.

Recognize behaviors driven by the EOS

Identify recurring signals, connect them to intended and unintended outcomes.

See the informal system as design data rather than noise.

Improve formal and EOS systems by learning from informal patterns instead of suppressing or blaming them.

Why this topic matters

Enterprise Operating System will always exist -- helpful or unhelpful based on its own perspectives that it derives from experiences of the individuals in the enterprise. It cannot be changed directly but it can be coaxed into helpful adaptations by changing Talent, Technology, Information, Process, and Culture systems. Understanding and influencing the EOS can reveal productive ways of improving leader focus, alignment, and activation.
