Jonathan Brill, Octopus Organizations Built for Speed, Resilience and Radical Adaptability
In a recent episode of Profiles in Leadership, host Dr. Steve Anderson sits down with Jonathan Brill to explore how organizations must evolve to thrive in an AI-driven world. In their discussion, Jonathan discusses the concept of the Octopus Organization, arguing that traditional top-down hierarchies are too slow for today’s pace of change and that intelligence and decision-making must be distributed closer to the work. The conversation examines how AI can amplify human judgment, improve coordination, and unlock speed, resilience, and adaptability—while challenging leaders to rethink control, culture, and how work gets done in the years ahead.
