The Octopus Organisation: How HR Can Make Transformation Stick

What would your organisation look like if it worked more like an octopus — distributed, adaptive, and capable of sensing and reacting without waiting for instructions from the centre?

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Phil Lebrun and Jana Werner, Executives in Residence at Amazon Web Services and authors of The Octopus Organization, to explore why so many transformations fail to stick — and what a more adaptive, human approach to change actually looks like.

Join them as they discuss:

What the octopus organisation metaphor is, and why it offers a different model to the traditional, hierarchical "Tin Man" organisation
The three themes — clarity, ownership, and curiosity — that separate organisations that adapt well from those that don't
Why transformation can no longer be treated as a one-time event
HR's evolving role in driving and supporting transformation
How to measure whether change is actually working, beyond vanity metrics
Real examples of leaders and organisations putting these ideas into practice
