The Open Organization Workbook

This respository contains files related to The Open Organization Workbook (working title), the forthcoming community-produced companion to Jim Whitehurst's 2015 book, The Open Organization (Harvard Business Review Press).

About the book

The Open Organization Workbook is the sixth book in the Open Organization book series from Opensource.com. It speaks specifically to ways individuals, teams, and organizations can transform organizational cultures, and serves as a handbook-style resource people can use while they're undergoing culture change initiatives aimed at cultivating open environments.

Divided into five units—each one pertaining to a different characteristic oultlined in The Open Organization Definition—the book features three principal types of material:

  • Introductions, which elaborate the nature of a given open principle and explain its value for organizations that might adopt it
  • Case studies, accounts of various organizations enacting open values at scale
  • Exercises, activities teams can perform to better understand and practice open values at scale

Contributing

We're developing this book according to the principles and processes outlined in the Open Decision Framework.

So we're searching for:

  • Writers, contributors who can compose a chapter of the book
  • Editors, contributors who can offer writers advice on their work and compose end-of-chapter discussion questions for readers
  • Proofers, contributors who can help us polish a chapter of the book
  • Connectors, contributors who can point us in the direction of great open organization stories we might cover and include in the book

Want to play one or more of these important roles? Check the book's existing table of contents, then do any of the following:

  • Open a new issue in this project repository and outline the work you think needs to be done
  • Select an already open issue in this repository and assign yourself to it
  • Send an email to [email protected] to learn more about pitching in
