Can Organizations Carry Capacities Across the Road?
So, are you ready for the calculus of all the people in the organization and their relationships with each other to determine the carrying capacity of the whole which is then some additional capacity beyond all the relationships held within?
Just kidding.
The carrying capacity of the organization also includes the financial capacity, the brand recognition, the network of relationships the org can count on for additional resilience, and so on.
You can increase organizational carrying capacity by growing relationships both within the organization and beyond the organization. And the capacity can be limited by external factors too, such as regulation and environmental limits.
Think Boston Market expanding too quickly or We Work making such a splash only to shrivel in the pandemic. Perhaps you have a similar story about an org you were involved with.
What do you notice are indicators of hitting limits to a carrying capacity in organizations? And what strategies do you admire about extending organizational carrying capacity?
