Pragmatism Over Dogma in Agile Teams
Explores the dangers of dogmatism in Agile, highlighting the need for flexibility, pragmatism, and people-focused adaptation over rigid rule-following …
Social technologies are systems of thought that shape collaboration, decision-making, and adaptability. Rooted in self-organisation and continuous learning, they enable organisations to evolve, innovate, and create sustainable value.

In complex environments where variance is high, methodologies fall short. In order to guide our ways of working we need foundational philosophies that foster adaptability, emergent coordination, and collective intelligence. Social technologies provide this foundation, shaping interactions, decision-making, and value creation.
Social technologies are not methodologies, they dont tell you how to do the work, but they do provide a structure within which decisions are made. They focus on the underlying principals of continuous learning, self-management, and decentralised decision-making. This enabled organisations to navigate uncertainty with intent, rather than rigid processes. They thrive on:
Processes are transient; philosophies endure. Rigid organisations struggle with change because they impose predictability on complex realities. In contrast, those embracing social technologies cultivate fluidity, making experimentation and sense-making intrinsic to how they operate.
Organisations that see social technologies as a way of engaging with complexity, not just tools, become resilient, collaborative, and value-driven. Adaptability isn’t a lever to pull; it’s a way of thinking and working that fuels continuous progress.
