In response to the challenges posed by today’s highly complex and disorderly changing business environment, while maintaining a delicate balance between preserving continuity and embracing rapid change, organizations are compelled to adapt and redraw their boundaries. While continuity requires orderliness to provide stability and structure, change demands freedom to unleash creativity and innovation. The challenge, therefore, lies in finding the right balance between order and freedom. The purpose of this paper is to present the Semi-Autonomous Collaboration organizational model, a promising approach for achieving this balance. The model empowers semi-autonomous units to take ownership of specific processes, fostering responsiveness, creativity, and innovation while ensuring oversight and coordination aligned with the organization’s overall objectives and culture. By exploring the intricacies of this concept, the paper aims to deepen understanding of its potential utility in future organizational transformations.
