| Under Review as of Feb 10th Humanity in the 21st century can be understood as a conglomerate of organizations that cooperate to attain certain strategic goals. Global problems require global consensual solutions. Such Strategic Organizational Design (SOD) efforts almost always fail because Leaders often lack a map of their own organization not to speak about how to coordinate with other entities. The reason for this might be that scholars have so far mostly provided qualitative or rigid one-size-fits-all frameworks for strategically designing organizations. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive quantifiable framework for strategically designing organizations to solve a socio-technical problems through Lean Management (LM). Combining knowledge about SOD and LM, we introduce a novel theory called ?Lean Brain Theory? (LBT). LBT considers organizations as networks with organizational structure, functional connectivity and effective dynamic patterns in the quest of attaining an optimal SOD towards the strategic goal of LM. To reinforce the new paradigm, the analogy between a Lean organization and a human brain is depicted. The future of LM organizations relies on strategically designing its structure, function and effective dynamics so as to emulate the Human Brain. The LBT brain-organization analogy could help develop further develop, understand, design and ultimately shape humanity as a true Global Brain with a common purpose. | |
