Ten Principles for Evolving Teams and Organizations
Through 10 essential principles, this Common Sense Framework (CSF) helps you grow and maintain organizations where BOTH the people and the organization can thrive.
The Framework lays out the big picture of what to consider to achieve this, and suggests specific practices and tools that can help you to get there.
Each principle applies both to individual teams, and to the organization as a whole.
An Organization Where BOTH the People and the Organization can Thrive

The organization is efficient in identifying, developing and delivering the necessary products and services necessary to achieve its purpose.
Adaptive
People are able to effectively identify and respond to organizational needs and changing contexts (both short term and long-term).
Resilient
The organization and its members are able to withstand adversity and uncertainty, if needed.
Reciprocal
The organization and its members share a relationship of mutual reciprocity where the organization is committed to the development, wellbeing and success of its members, and vice versa.
