Organiser pour la Complexité / Organize for Complexity

English version below. 

Nos organisations peuvent avoir des difficultés à définir une structure interne qui réponde aux contraintes sociales et économiques externes. Celles actives dans des domaines soumis à des contraintes de changements douces, peuvent se contenter d’améliorations continues. Par contre, dans la plupart des domaines technologiques, les structures managériales ne permettent pas d’affronter l’accélération créative/économique en cours.

Nos organisations IT ont trouvé des principes d’amélioration par la gestion en flux, le fast design et la validation anticipée (Agile, Devops, LeanStartup, etc.). Néanmois, d’un point de vue managériale haut niveau, il n’y a pas vraiment de principes adoptés et mis en place dans la globalité de l’entreprise. 

L’année dernière, grâce au mouvement #stoos, j’ai redécouvert le mouvement “Beyond Budgeting” (première rencontre ALE2011) et ai vraiment apprécié le document de Beta Codex “Organiser pour la complexité”. J’ai décidé de le traduire, suite à l’appel de Niels, mais les mois suivants, j’ai préféré me concentrer sur la traduction de “Commiment”. Il y a quelques mois, Sylvain a rejoint Pierre et moi pour terminer cette traduction que vous trouverez ci-dessous.

Si vous n'avez pas de connaissances en management, vous trouverez ce document très dense. Je vous conseille de le lire chapitre par chapitre.

Today, organisations could struggle to define a internal structure that fits current external economical and social constraints. Those active in domains which move at a slow pace, can handle change with a continuous-improvement mindset. But in most technological domains, the current managerial structure cannot bear the increasing creative/economical pace.

Our IT organisations found improvement principles in flowing, fast design and early validation principles (Agile, Devops, LeanStartup, etc.). However, from a high level management point of view, no principles are really adopted and implemented in the whole enterprise. Last year, due to the #stoos movement, I rediscovered the “Beyond budgeting” people (first met in ALE2011) and really appreciate the Beta Codex document “Organize for Complexity”.

I decided to translate it, after a call from Niels, but during the following months I was too busy and focused only on the “Commitment book” translation. A few months ago, Sylvain joined Pierre and me to finish the translation that you can find below.

This document is really heavy to read if you don’t have any knowledge of management principles. So take the time to read it chapter by chapter to nourish your brain.

Learning about Data Science?

This is the end of a beautiful summer, and also one of the warmer recorded in France. I’m continuing my journey in the product management world and today I’m living in the product marketing one too. I will blog about this later. During this first half of this year, I read several articles on big data and started to understand how important the data science discipline is. Being able to define a direction/goal to search, collecting the proper data, then using a collection of techniques to extract something others can’t see - it sounds like magic. Also, when I listened to the Udacity Linear Disgression podcast episode “Hunting the Higgs”, I understood people with these skills can be better at solving a problem than the domain experts themselves. Katie Malone explained that in a competition to solve a particle physics problem, the best results came from machine learning people. Then I read the article about Zenefit on the vision mobile website : “Zenefits is an insurance compan...

What I’m learning about AI agents

My learning journey in the world of AI, updated for 2026 Originally published in March 2025. Updated in August 2026. I started this list because I kept seeing the same terms used in different ways. I needed a simple map to understand what each technology actually does, and where it may be useful when bringing AI into a product. AI changes so quickly that a learning journey can become dated in a few months. My first version of this article was an attempt to map the technologies around AI agents and to make sense of the growing number of tools. Since then, the topic has moved from interesting experiments to real business systems. This updated version keeps the original intention: learn in public, organise the landscape, and focus on what is useful in practice. What changed since 2025 In early 2025, most conversations were still about chatbots, prompt engineering and early agent frameworks. In 2026, the more useful question is no longer "which model is the best?" but ...

Embracing Bluesky: A search for authentic dialogue beyond professional networks

LinkedIn is great for professional networking, but where can you have conversations with different people on a wider range of topics? I joined Twitter in 2008, later than many of my peers. Initially, it served as a platform for personal intellectual growth, offering pleasant exchanges focused primarily on computer science, human organisation, design and product management. But the growing awareness of climate issues changed everything. Anger became the dominant tone, and I found myself missing a more constructive environment. I don't want to spend my days in a world full of anger. In search of a new wave of self-improvement and more balanced discussions, I've made the move to: https://bsky.app/profile/lookingforanswers.me  I look forward to connecting with you there for more diverse and enriching conversations.
