For whom: for the heads of Companies that are in the process of reorganization or intensive growth, as well as for the heads of Companies that are in stagnation or decline.
What are polarities?
Polarities are chronic sore issues that cannot be avoided, resolved, or destroyed. Trying to deal with them like normal problems only makes things worse. Problems need to be analyzed and solved (result-oriented). To manage polarities, it is necessary to build a business process that improves business efficiency (process orientation).
70% of contradictions in business are not problems that can be solved once and for all, but polarities between which you need to be able to balance without going to extremes. Polarity management is a process of company development.
It is important that when introducing innovations, you keep all the best that has been accumulated in the Company. How to do it? What to do if you have already missed something important and see the negative consequences of this process (for example, the turnover of valuable personnel, lost profits, increased costs, etc.).
Examples of corporate polarities:
"Stability - Development", "Process Orientation - Result Orientation", "Centralized form of management - Decentralized form of management", "Increased demands on employees - Support for employees, contribution to their development and motivation", "Timelines - Quality" , "Customer Orientation - Result Orientation", "Cost Savings - Business Development". This list will be continued by the participants of the session, having identified the most painful issues that are relevant for the Company at the moment.
