The Governance Shift: Three Books on Coordination Capital (Special Announcement)
Three interconnected publications are coming that reshape how institutional leaders measure, govern, and manage organizational structure.
The Coordination Capital Doctrine (July 7, 2026) is a governance specification establishing measurement, structural floor derivation, and board-level interpretation of coordination capital—the material share of organizational cost consumed by coordination activity. Forty-six thousand words. Hardcover. For CFOs, audit committees, and boards of regulated financial institutions.
The Coordination Capital Compendium (May 2027) operationalizes the Doctrine. Forty-seven thousand words across fourteen chapters. Shows how to implement coordination capital measurement at scale using AI-assisted infrastructure while maintaining human governance authority. For CFOs, governance teams, and audit committee chairs beginning implementation.
The Post-Project World: A Book (End of 2026) is the narrative companion to the Doctrine. Written for COOs, CIOs, and transformation leaders. Explains why project-based organizational models are breaking down, what structures emerge to replace them, and how to lead through continuous adaptation instead of discrete delivery cycles.
Together, these three books form a complete institutional offering: the Doctrine establishes specification, the Compendium operationalizes it, and The Post-Project World book makes it intelligible to broader organizational leadership.
Key Concepts Explained:
Coordination Capital = the organizational burden created by synchronizing, approving, reporting on, and managing dependencies across your operation. In most mid-market institutions, coordination capital represents 18–35% of total labor allocation.
Coordination Capital Ratio (CCR) = coordination capital ÷ total organizational cost. A single number telling you whether your governance structure is proportionate or drifting.
Structural Floor = the minimum coordination capital your institution cannot reduce without violating regulatory requirements, breaking risk governance, or abandoning governance structures required by law.
Coordination Drift = change in CCR over time. The moment when governance structures move from necessary to bloated.
Who This Matters For:
Institutions operating under intensive regulatory oversight where coordination infrastructure has become materially costly. Organizations where committee proliferation, reporting redundancy, and decision-making inefficiency have escaped active governance. Boards and audit committees asking whether their governance burden is sustainable.
On This Episode:
Luigi Rondanini walks through all three publications, their audiences, their relationship to one another, and why the timing matters now. He covers the £40M+ coordination drift example that shows why this measurement is not theoretical. And he explains what happens when institutions measure and govern coordination capital actively—they operate with structural advantages that competitors cannot easily replicate.
The Doctrine [https://rondanini.com/ccr-doctrine/]is available now for pre-order on Waterstones, Foyles, and all major UK booksellers. Street date July 7, 2026.
