The role of the manager at OrganicDesign is tasked with formulating the OrganicDesign strategy in close collaboration with the OrganicDesign Director and communicating it to all stakeholders to ensure alignment and encourage feedback and improvement.
System specification
In addition, the manager is required to specify the requirements for the OrganicDesign system and ensure that improvements in technology are implemented to ensure closer alignment with the Platform specification.
Alignment between goals and activities
In terms of "vertical alignment", the manager ensures a clear flow and sequence between purpose and principles, vision, vision, goals, departments and projects within the organisation. This allows the stakeholders to see and understand which high level goals are being acted upon, as well as how day-to-day tasks are supporting the high level goals.
Internal team communications
The manager is also expected to ensure that the system supports all group activities, such as meetings and work on projects and that feedback is responded to, and that team members are generally on the same page and roles and responsibilities are clear.
External partner communication
Using the agreed-upon OrganicDesign strategy as a guide, the manager communicates with external groups to build support and gather feedback on the OrganicDesign strategy. The current aims of this process are to achieve endorsement and validation of the strategy or the improvement of the technical aspects of the strategy, depending on the skill-set of the external party.
Skillset required
Given that OrganicDesign is a virtual organisation, the role of the manager requires not only a deep understanding of OD principles as described in vision and manifesto, but requires a skill-set that draws upon project management, business analysis and content management.
