Organizationmore

Organizationmore is a neologism used in management discourse to describe an approach to organizational design and operation that seeks to create more value by extending capabilities beyond traditional boundaries. There is no standardized definition, and the term is used variably across sources, often as a shorthand for aspirational improvements in flexibility, collaboration, and outcomes.

In its broad sense, organizationmore implies combining structural choices (modular, scalable units) with cultural practices (decentralized decision-making, openness, continuous learning) to increase speed, adaptability, and stakeholder value. It is frequently discussed alongside related movements such as agile management, holacracy, and platform thinking, though it is not tied to a single framework.

Applications include corporate restructurings aimed at becoming more responsive, government or nonprofit reforms to improve service delivery, and nonprofit collaborations to maximize impact. Proponents view organizationmore as a guiding principle rather than a fixed method, allowing organizations to tailor governance, processes, and technology to local needs.

Critics argue that the lack of a precise definition can hinder implementation and measurement. Without clear metrics, pursuing "more" risks scope creep or misalignment with core mission. Some also caution that decentralization can increase coordination challenges if not accompanied by robust data, alignment mechanisms, and accountability.

Related concepts include organization theory, agile management, holacracy, learning organization, and digital transformation. The term remains informal and its use is often context-dependent, serving as a slogan for progressive organizational change rather than a prescriptive framework.
