Managing the performance of social interventions. What can we learn from a complex systems approach?

If PM is “a process which contributes to the effective management of individuals and teams in order to achieve high levels of organisational performance” (Armstrong and Baron 2004), what does this mean when organisational performance is viewed as being an aspect of a complex system?

Andrew Gerkens's insight:

This paper seeks to outline the current dominant approach to the
performance management of social interventions: Outcome-Based Performance Management (OBPM). It then explores the meaning of complexity approaches, and attempts to articulate what is meant by a complex system. It then explores the way in which thinking of social interventions as existing within complex systems challenges OBPM. Finally, it identifies potential elements of a complexity-friendly approach to the PM of social interventions.

What is Network Perspective?

Andrew Gerkens's insight:

This CCL white paper explores the idea of 'Network Perspective', defined as the ability to look beyond the organisational chart to see, understand, and engage the informal, invisible structure supporting the organisation. Network-savvy leaders intentionally

develop this perspective and create a connected, more interdependent culture.
