We are proud to announce our upcoming book: 10XORG
The book shows leaders the way to make organizational design a practical, everyday tool rather than a last-minute fix. With Org Topologies, you learn to see the real patterns shaping performance, involve people in designing meaningful change, and evolve your organization with purpose. It’s a guide for leaders who want clarity, adaptability, and results that last.
How this book relates to Scrum
The book builds directly on the same foundations that make Scrum effective: radical transparency and empirical process control. Scrum works because teams make work visible, inspect what is actually happening, and adjust based on evidence rather than assumptions.
This book applies that logic to the entire organization. It shows how to reveal real structures, real mandates, and real flow of work so leaders can see what is helping or hurting performance. Instead of relying on plans or opinions, you evaluate the current design, run small experiments, inspect outcomes, and adapt. In that sense, the book scales the core principles of Scrum from the team room to the whole organization, using clarity and continuous learning as the drivers of meaningful change.
This book is (not) about AI
Defining the 10X Organization
This is the book’s central question:
How can our organization learn, adapt, and perform fast enough to stay 10X relevant, not just 10X efficient?
You don’t 10X an organization by tweaking processes, renaming roles, or handing out GPT licenses inside the same silos. That’s surface change. It accelerates the status quo instead of transforming it. 10X isn’t more activity or motion — it’s more adaptability, more impact, more relevance.
Treat 10X as an aspiration, a push against 1X stagnation where the same playbook is recycled and the same results repeat. And treat 10X as a call to action, because performance leaps become real when human-plus-AI organizations start to rise.
Connection to Org Topologies
Org Topologies™ is the practical change method at the core of the 10X ORG book — the first human-centric and AI-ready approach to organizational design. It aligns strategy, structure, and learning, and starts from a simple premise: organizational design matters. It shapes who collaborates, which decisions people own, how skills develop, and how fast individuals grow. Structure is the scaffolding for human judgment, and one of the strongest levers of performance. If 10X Org is the smile, Org Topologies is the daily flossing that makes the smile possible.
Connection to AI
Whether AI evolves slowly, quickly, or unpredictably, the 10X framing holds. If progress is gradual, adaptability still defines winners. If acceleration hits earlier than expected, adaptability becomes non-negotiable. Either way, the goal is to build organizations that can systematically elevate performance.
10X is the rare win-win-win — for organizations, their customers, and their people. Leaders of large firms, owners of small businesses, and ambitious startups all have the same opportunity: elevate the game, scale without bureaucracy, and outpace those who cling to yesterday’s structures.
