Traditional hierarchical structures are falling – is your organisation ready?

Emergent provides a handbook for navigating – and thriving in – the new cultural paradigm. More than a simple DIY for change, this book empowers organisations to diagnose change risk, address current shortcomings and adapt to the increasing current away from hierarchies to autonomous and interdependent networks. Unguided, most fail in their attempt; this shift exposes huge skills deficits, a lack of engagement, lack of value and meaning, market reach, penetration and more. Here, a twenty-year veteran of brand and culture transformation outlines a unique governance framework and blueprint for implementing and co-creating your own cultural shift. Methodologies from crowdsourcing and social movements are adopted as tools for initiating change and creating cultural cohesion around a higher purpose, and essential skills and tools help equip organisations and individuals for the emergent future.

Today's workplace demands are creating extraordinary challenges for organisations; power is shifting, and the spotlight has forced businesses to engage with stakeholders in more meaningful ways, and to acknowledge a need for radical ‘humanization' of the workplace. To drive successful change you need to spark a movement. This book provides a way forward through the transition, with expert guidance and a clear, actionable framework for implementation.

Adopt a unique governance framework for culture transformation
Energise, mobilise and catalyse change, innovation and growth
Address skills deficits, values misalignment, failed engagement and more
Ignite your organisation's purpose and forge sustainability for the future

The demand for greater values alignment, autonomy and individual empowerment – fuelled by technology and increasing interdependencies – is bringing down the traditional power structure. The question is: what moves into its place? A strong organisational culture is the difference between surviving and thriving in the marketplace. Emergent provides a practical blueprint for transformation to help your organisation navigate the shift successfully.

Savour the experience

Reviewed in Australia on 30 July 2020

It's been a while since I was challenged by a book to have to take it slow and steady. In an era of "never enough time" many business books are written to be consumed quickly. I found this book required me to actually slow down and think. It was a page turner but one that required me to savour every idea.

This book provides leaders with a template for sustainable change. It's a not only a masterclass in systems thinking but also a practical guide for co-creating an engaged and innovative culture.

Create the conditions for a conscious culture

Reviewed in Australia on 13 July 2017

In this deep, personal, and resonant book, co-creation expert, Stephen Scott Johnson, shows us how to design our organisations for the conditions that allow a conscious culture to emerge from the ashes of an outmoded change agenda. A much needed shift in perspective for anyone who wants to make a difference.

Emergent was a constant reference resource for me as I wrote about creating a more productive culture in Smart Teams. Stephen provides a very modern and relevant take on how to transform cultures.

Worth a read

Some exciting and challenging thinking here. Especially if you consider the approaches and discussions alongside other theorists e.g. Frederick Laloux and consider the practical application of how you can take this into the workplace. Well worth dipping in and out of.

The advanced leader's change handbook that you will use again and again for years

Reviewed in the United States on 1 August 2017

Verified Purchase

This is an elegant, intellectually rigorous and soulful approach to organisational change. Stephen lifts the bar when it comes to creating organisations as catalysts for large scale positive evolution - for people and planet. His models of stages of organisational cultures through to the step by step Catalyst model on how to spark a movement are wonderful maps on how to think and engage in a meaningful way in our work. The case studies and guest posts bring real world application to the models and thinking that help put it all in context. This book is the advanced leader's companion and resource guide for higher level thinking - and doing. You'll want to keep it with you, returning to it again and again over years for guidance and inspiration.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

On the one hand, I really enjoyed reading "Emergent: Ignite Purpose, Transform Culture, Make Change Stick" by Stephen Scott Johnson. It had good advice throughout the book on the emerging work culture that I could appreciate. On the other hand, it did seem like it was trying to do a lot at times so transition from one idea to another sometimes felt random. That said, the first point still held. As long as I took the reading more as ideas under one umbrella, it worked for me as it was highly readable, accessible and thoughtful.

A Well Thought Out and Prescient Thesis On Emergence/... caveat emptor, with respect to living wealth.

Reviewed in the United States on 5 November 2017

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

Great concepts within corporate organizations to make them more human and emergent. A bottom up information awareness that endeavors to emulate nature's emergence; like in of the ants who without leaders or leaders, organize themselves into a super efficient super-organism. At least, in theory, this is the goal line. The overall strategy relies on an innate smartness that's achievable through a systematic/smart interconnectivity. Example are given from the medieval silk trade to computer programs that are able to generate their own software.
Herein lies the problem: why work efficiently, smartly, and ingeniously to put yourself out of a job and thereby feather the nests of absentee owners in far way places. The more an organization streamlines/Taylorizes[Fredrick Winslow Taylor] its systems; all the more programmable.
As I read Emergence, the more I likened it to an Orwellian script that says one thing; while doing its opposite. The purpose is not more human. Despite paid-off Supreme Denial judges telling the citizen, turned consumer, turned commodity; corporations are NOT human.
For humans, it is not inter connectivity; it is, in a real sense - that all life is interrelated. All men are caught an inescapable network of mutuality, tied to a single garment of destiny, whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. I cannot be what I ought to be until you're what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality[MLK].
So the frame from which I read this was that nature is purposely being phased out; where man/machine is being phased in. There need to be a paradigm shift from a virtual wealth system based upon debt-based money on an inhuman planet - towards one based on real living wealth, upon a living planet, Earth[Change the Story, Change the Future: A Living Economy For A Living Earth by David C. Korten/Feb 2, 2015].
Despite my personnel frame of reference, the author does an excellent job to relaying his premise, in a step-by-step analyses, comprised in three parts: Part One, Innovation; Part Two, Transformation and Part Three, Evolution. Very smart, up-to-date, using all the newly minted technologies and buzzwords - to weave his thesis into a coherent work for the reader to understand.
In conclusion, I would suggest the reader bear in mind, several contrary viewpoints from which these analyses and concepts presented.

Staying complacent is not what this book is about, it's about overcoming complacency and driving culture of transformation, lots of great nuggets of information in here for the leader that is looking to make a profound statement and be different.
