These are some of the practices that build an organisation using the principles of OE.

They are not in any particular order and each group/team/organisation will have to explore which of these they use to start the change in their group.

Some of these have been expanded - others will follow.
 

Build a more open, devolved management structure. This is about departments, functions, teams being seen, and seeing themselves, first and foremost as a means of ensuring success for the organisation, not as permanent entities.

Manage the core capabilities. The organisation has core competences which, when coupled with sufficient capacity, provide the means for the organisation to deliver.

Embrace the use of teams. Teams enable innovation and delivery by bringing people with differing skills, attitudes and behaviours together.

Create a climate for learning - put the learning organisation into practice.

Establish portfolio management - as a key tool for managing the diversity of things that the organisation does.

Create simple clear vision - for the organisation or team

Devolve ownership of the task - to those directly dealing with it. Be clear about the resources available and how the task fits the centres of focus.

Support failure as a means of learning. Trying out new ideas means that some will work and some won't. People need to feel comfortable about an experiment that failed.
