The Human Technology Tree
Early draftOrganizations depend on more than software. They also depend on practices such as weekly one-on-one meetings, written updates, and after-action reviews. These practices help people coordinate, make decisions, and learn.
This tree shows how those practices build on one another, from the basics a team needs to function to the habits that help it learn and improve. Choose a card to see what it depends on and what it makes possible.
The links between practices come from management research, but they are not fixed rules. Use the sequence to decide where your organization may need to invest next.
