Joanna Macy: Embracing the Great Turning Together

Indy Johar, Mission Steward of Dark Matter Labs, joins the podcast to help us rethink how we organize ourselves and our systems, addressing inadequacies of traditional business models that are no longer sufficient for managing complexities.

Bringing light to how “risk management should be localized, with decision-making power and accountability being as close to the problem as possible,” Indy argues for an organization that encourages participants to be citizens rather than employees and fosters continuous and accountable learning among individuals.

Tune into this episode and learn from Indy, a veteran in building mission-driven organizations, who has always stayed ahead of the curve.

Indy - who joins the podcast for the 3rd time - besides stewarding the mission at Dark has also recently joined RMIT University, teaching no less than “Planetary Civics”, a testament to his influence in the space of social innovation.

As always, Indy comes with a profound understanding of designing complex organizations for the 21st century, from his hands-on experience in creating radical innovations in governance, architecture, and social systems, particularly in sustainability and collaborative economy. 

He starts the podcast with philosophical considerations about the nature of complex organizations and then highlights the need for a radical shift toward a learning-centered organization.

In the conversation, we question the traditional metrics of productivity and value, and further advocate for new metrics that account for collective intelligence and systemic contributions rather than individual output. 

There was no better way to celebrate our 100th episode because this one is a landmark. Grab a notepad and pick a pen, because there’s much to pin down.


Key Highlights
👉 Organizational structures in a complex world, and a shift from command-and-control to systemic learning and adaptability.
👉 Decentralized risk management and the need to localize decision-making to enhance responsiveness and effectiveness.
👉 Dark Matter Labs' mission-driven approach, emphasizing partnerships over traditional consultancy to enable sustainable change.
👉 Need for a paradigm shift in how value is defined and measured within organizations, moving towards incorporating multi-dimensional success indicators.
👉Redefining organizational roles to encourage craft and citizenship, where individuals contribute to the organization's decision-making processes. 
👉 Rethinking legal structures governing organizations, moving towards frameworks that support distributed risk and empower collective action.

The Boundaryless Conversation Podcast: Season 5

#100 - Learning Centered Organizations for the 21st Century with Indy Johar

Song Description:
"Taking The Giants Down" is a powerful, anthemic song that encapsulates the spirit of rebellion and the fight against oppression. With its hard-hitting lyrics and driving musical style, the song is a rallying cry for those who have been held down and silenced, urging them to rise up and take back their power.
The song's narrative paints a vivid picture of a world where the "giants" - those in positions of power and authority - have exploited and suppressed the masses for too long. The lyrics describe the pain and suffering endured by the people, the "sweat and tears" on which the giants' towers were built.
But the heart of the song is a message of resilience and resistance. The verses and choruses are a call to action, a declaration that the time has come to stand up and fight back. The lyrics evoke the strength and determination of the human spirit, the refusal to be broken or defeated despite the odds.
The pre-chorus is a powerful acknowledgment of the shift from passive acceptance to active defiance. It's a realization that silence is no longer an option, that the time for change has come. The chorus is an anthem of unity and courage, a promise that together, the people can and will take the giants down.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more specific in their indictment of the giants' crimes and more urgent in their call for justice. The bridge is a moment of reflection and recommitment, a reminder of the long road ahead but also of the unbreakable will to see the fight through.
The final chorus and outro are a triumphant declaration of the power of the people, a vision of a world where the giants have fallen and the truth reigns supreme. It's a message of hope and a promise of a better future, one that can be achieved through solidarity, courage, and an unwavering commitment to justice.
Musically, "Taking The Giants Down" combines elements of rock, metal, and punk to create a sound that is as urgent and uncompromising as its message. The driving rhythm section, soaring guitar riffs, and powerful vocals all serve to amplify the song's emotional impact and create a sense of unstoppable momentum.
Ultimately, "Taking The Giants Down" is a testament to the transformative power of music as a tool for social and political change. It's a song that speaks to the struggles and aspirations of the oppressed and disenfranchised, and a powerful reminder that even the mightiest giants can be brought down when the people unite and rise up.

Taking The Giants Down

A popular practitioner of the systemic approach to business, Jennifer van der Meer, founder of Reason Street, joins us on this episode to explore the intersection of business models, capital structures, and ecosystemic value creation.
Highlighting how “in business, the challenge is to move beyond the constraints of financial logic and design for broader, systemic impacts that prioritize the health of ecosystems, communities, and bioregions,” Jen challenges to think beyond the existing frames.
While tracing the evolution of business models through distinct eras, she reiterates her belief that business modeling is a creative process where new narratives need to be created that redefine how value is created and distributed.
It’s an eye-opening conversation and an important one to remember in an age when businesses are designed to merely meet investor expectations of financial returns rather than take a holistic approach.

Starting from Netscape’s IPO in the 1990s, Jennifer highlights the pivotal moments that shifted the focus from static business plans to the dynamic models of today.
As an Assistant Professor at Parsons School of Design and an advisor and consultant, Jen always advocates designing purpose-driven systems aligned with larger societal and ecosystemic goals. 
In the conversation, we touched upon multiple themes, such as the inheritance that financial logic projects on business models, how to look beyond financial capital (and the constraints making it difficult), and the new perspectives likely needed to start designing for a regenerative future. 
Tune in and join us as we stretch existing business model thinking frames.


Key Highlights
👉 Business models should be seen as dynamic, narrative-driven frameworks that evolve with societal and technological shifts rather than static plans.
👉 Designing for surplus rather than value capture allows organizations to prioritize contributions to ecosystems and communities over financial returns alone.
👉 Integrating multiple forms of capital—social, environmental, and intellectual—creates a more holistic business strategy.
👉 Platform cooperatives and alternative ownership structures demonstrate how shared value creation can reduce reliance on traditional financial logic.
👉 AI and blockchain technologies offer transformative opportunities, but their true potential lies in enabling community-driven innovation and operational efficiencies.
👉 Organizations must embrace bioregional learning ecosystems to address complex challenges and tailor strategies to their unique social, cultural, and ecological contexts.

tzm #84: Polykrise vom 24. Januar 2025 [live]

Sangeet Paul Choudary, globally recognised Platform Strategist and author, joins back on the Boundaryless Conversations Podcast for the 4th time. In this episode, the closing one for Season 6, we unpack how AI radically transforms the system of work.
Together, we explore how organisations can stay relevant as value is being redefined (intrinsic, economic, contextual), and how systemic design choices shape who benefits in a rapidly fragmenting economy. 
Drawing a powerful parallel to the shipping container revolution, Sangeet shows how AI’s impact operates at multiple levels, from simple task automation up to systemic change, urging us to think bigger than just isolated productivity gains.
He challenges the Techno-Optimist and Luddite narratives for assuming that competition rules and value distribution remain static in an AI world. Instead, Sangeet urges us to think about how the “pie” gets sliced.

Sangeet is a globally renowned author and has an upcoming book, “Reshuffle”. He is known for his deep systems thinking and sharp analysis of digital ecosystems.
In this episode, he explored how organisations must fundamentally rethink value (and their role) in an AI-transformed world and unpacks the often-overlooked link between constraints and value. 
He helps us distinguish local and systemic effects, urging leaders to stop optimising for short-term efficiencies, and challenges the outdated assumption that markets are uniform and competition is static.
If you’re curious to learn how your perception of innovation needs to shift, tune in.


Key Highlights
👉 In an AI-driven economy, organisations must redefine value in context, not just by markets, but by their unique purpose, position, and impact.
👉 Both techno-optimists and Luddites fall into the same trap: they assume the rules of competition stay the same. But as AI reshapes how the “pie” is sliced
👉 Traditional frameworks fall short - leaders must now navigate systems thinking, modularity, and multi-dimensional trade-offs.
👉 Strategic advantage lies in judgment, where decision-makers are directly impacted by their choices.
👉 Organisations must shift from task-level automation to system-level redesign.
👉 The future of leadership demands a long-term appetite for long-term planning - helping us thrive through uncertainty and systemic adaptation.

#124 – How AI Restacks the System of Work with Sangeet Paul Choudary | Closing of Season 6

In this Deep Dive, we confront one of the most confronting and urgent issues facing Australia today—homelessness.

What begins with the raw numbers—over 127,000 Australians without secure housing in 2025—quickly becomes something deeper: a human story of crisis, neglect, and policy failure. With 103% growth in rough sleeping between 2020 and 2022, and over 54,000 people turned away from housing services in just one year, this isn't a temporary problem. It's systemic.

We explore the data, but also the disconnect: between the compassion of everyday Australians and the actions of some local councils using fines, evictions, and even excavators to displace people with nowhere else to go. We ask hard questions about human rights, international obligations, and what happens when authorities criminalise poverty instead of addressing its root causes.

We also shine a light on the extraordinary efforts of Australians through initiatives like the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, which has raised over $100 million since 2006. But as powerful and generous as these efforts are, the report makes it clear: charity cannot replace government responsibility.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about human dignity.

This episode is both a reality check and a call to action. Because the way we treat our most vulnerable citizens defines who we are as a country.

What will you do to ensure no Australian is left behind?

Australian Homelessness Crisis - A Call for Dignity and Action

In this episode, we talk with Sandra Janoff, who has developed (and practiced for decades) the method ”Future Search” together with Marvin Weisbord. We met Sandra in a facilitation training in Berlin in 2024, and were deeply inspired by her way of working systemically with complex issues. Here you can listen to Sandra describing how we can understand systemic change, how we can connect with people’s hearts and the situation as it is, creating action that makes a difference for the system as a whole.

Art of Collaborating is a podcast produced by Länka Consulting. Länka was established in 2015 by Anna Zingmark and Karoline Bottheim with the mission to explore and develop the tricky "art" of multi-stakeholder-collaboration. When we meet between organizations, sectors and knowledge areas in order to find solutions for handling complex societal challenges, we need support from practical methods and ways of understanding how to collaborate more efficiently. After years of discussing this topic with experts, researchers and practitioners all over the world, we are quite sure that multi-stakeholder collaboration can be called an advanced "art", a specific way of working, it may even be seen as a specific "community of practice". With our podcast, we want to make this - really necessary - specific way of working accessible to more people who find themselves in complex processes with many stakeholders involved.

The Do Good Podcast, hosted by Rob Watson, shares people's inspiring and uplifting stories from around the world. 

There's so much good happening right now on the planet, which isn't getting nearly enough attention it deserves – I hope by sharing these people's stories it'll inspire listeners to go out there and show more of what they are made of and do their own bit of good in the world.

Boundaryless helps global customers with Business Strategy and Organization Design for the age of Ecosystems.
We do it by creating openly accessible frameworks and by supporting a community of organizations, institutions, and individuals through workshops, training, and consulting services. 

In this space we host all our audio recordings, including the Boundaryless Conversations podcast, a show focused on exploring the future of large scale organising by leveraging on technology, network effects and shaping narratives. We explore how platforms can help us play with a world in turmoil, change, and transformation: a world that is at the same time more interconnected and interdependent than ever but also more conflictual and rivalrous. 

We used to be online at platformdesigntoolkit.com... now find us on our new website: www.boundaryless.io!
