METODO · DA 10X ORG
Elevating
Kata.
Routine di miglioramento strutturate e ripetibili che trasformano l'intento del design organizzativo in comportamento vissuto.
KATA COME TERMINE
Una sequenza praticata, non una trasformazione una tantum
Il termine kata viene dalle arti marziali, dove indica una sequenza praticata per costruire abilità e giudizio attraverso la ripetizione. Nel management si è diffuso grazie a Toyota: uno schema studiato e ripetibile per un miglioramento disciplinato.
I principi di 10X Org indicano la direzione. I kata la rendono praticabile. Si applicano nel passo Elevate del metodo MADE, dove le intuizioni di mappatura, valutazione e design diventano cambiamento concreto.
Ogni kata punta a un vincolo concreto, come confini dei team, diritti decisionali, interfacce, policy o governance, e verifica se ampliare i mandati (Mandate) o ridurre l'attrito avvicini il sistema allo stato elevato desiderato.
Gli Elevating Kata sono guidati dal problema, non dalla metodologia.
IL PERCORSO DI ELEVAZIONE
Elevati verso l'alto a destra della mappa
Elevare è una mossa deliberata verso destra e verso l'alto sulla mappa Org Topologies (Org Topologies map): competenze più ampie e mandati di lavoro più ampi, dal consegnare output al consegnare outcome.
Un menu, non una sequenza
I kata non vanno applicati dall'alto in basso. Formano un menu di mosse deliberate. Il punto di partenza giusto dipende da dove stanno i vincoli dell'organizzazione sulla mappa.
Parti in piccolo, poi amplia
Di solito le organizzazioni iniziano con pochi kata che corrispondono alle sfide di design più urgenti, poi ne ampliano o ne cambiano l'uso man mano che l'apprendimento si accumula.
Non solo per il software
Nelle organizzazioni di servizi, il «prodotto» corrisponde a un'offerta di servizio, un percorso del cliente, un tipo di pratica o una capacità operativa. I backlog diventano code di servizio; le review diventano ispezioni del servizio.
TENERE I KATA SISTEMICI
Cinque modi in cui i kata muovono l'intero sistema
I leader non hanno bisogno di un altro programma di trasformazione. Scegli una manciata di kata e assicurati che siano praticati con fedeltà: quando le routine diventano abitudini, agilità e resilienza crescono, e la cultura segue il lavoro.
- Sistema intero
- Un kata non ritocca mai un elemento in isolamento: tocca insieme governance, ruoli, eventi, pratiche e artefatti, come chiede lo Star Model.
- Strategia
- Routine come il Product Backlog Refinement multi-team o il vertical slicing portano l'obiettivo strategico nel lavoro quotidiano, così struttura e processi seguono la strategia.
- Persone e ruoli
- Kata come Elevate Product Ownership allargano i ruoli oltre le vecchie definizioni; la pratica ripetuta fa crescere le competenze che il nuovo design richiede.
- Comportamento e cultura
- I programmi di cultura falliscono sui valori astratti. I kata cambiano lo schema di lavoro stesso, e il comportamento desiderato (collaborazione, orientamento al cliente, apprendimento) arriva con esso.
- Ricompense
- Poiché un kata si ripete, chiude da sé il proprio ciclo di feedback: tempi di ciclo più rapidi, miglior aderenza al prodotto e team più coinvolti premiano la nuova abitudine.
I kata sullo Star Model
Katalog
Il Katalog raggruppa i kata secondo i cinque elementi del design organizzativo nello Star Model™ di Jay Galbraith. Cambia un elemento e gli altri devono seguire. Ogni kata rimanda alla sua descrizione e ai casi di studio che lo applicano.

Lo Star Model™ di Jay Galbraith insegna che un'organizzazione non è solo il suo organigramma né la somma delle sue policy, ma un sistema di scelte di design interconnesse che vanno fatte con deliberazione e tenute allineate.
La stella ha cinque elementi: i criteri di design organizzativo derivati dalla strategia, la struttura, i processi, le ricompense e le persone. Quando sono allineati e si rafforzano a vicenda, le prestazioni diventano più affidabili e meno casuali.
Cambiane uno solo e gli altri lo tirano indietro. Un'azienda che adotta Scrum come aggiunta di processo, mentre assunzioni, ricompense e struttura restano come prima, ottiene il risultato prevedibile: «l'Agile è morto». I kata lavorano su tutti e cinque gli elementi, quindi il cambiamento diventa sistemico.
“Le persone si comportano in base a come vengono misurate, organizzate e ricompensate.”

Criteri di progettazione organizzativa: I risultati che l'organizzazione è progettata per ottenere derivano dalla strategia e fanno da riferimento per tutte le scelte di progettazione.
1.1 Ampliare la definizione di prodotto8 casi

Nelle organizzazioni di servizi: rivedere i risultati dei servizi end-to-end, non le metriche dei reparti.

Ridurre rischi e ritardi di integrazione integrando il lavoro in modo continuo tra tutti i team e gli agenti coinvolti, anziché accumularlo e riconciliarlo tardi. Nei contesti software, si realizza comunemente con pratiche come il trunk-based development, i monorepo e la continuous integration come pratica (non come strumento).

Nota di Alexey Krivitsky, 2024-12: Using Obeya for Org Topology Evolution: While not explicitly called “Obeya,” the case study implies the use of dedicated forums or physical/virtual spaces where stakeholders (including product owners, coaches, and team representatives) gather to review strategic metrics, progress indicators, and customer feedback. This structure leads to better-informed decisions and quicker action. Over time, these regular strategic gatherings elevate governance and leadership practices.
