As already communicated in various ways, MANAGEMENT INSIGHTS moves entirely to Twins of Management and Organization. Here is why we are doing this:
Management in Need of Innovation
- Management is the art, science, and craft to get work done. As such it touches everyone, everywhere, anytime. Most of us do some kind of work (for clients).
- In the knowledge era, people make decisions. Hence, every employee is an executive. That’s why we need to care about management and why better management is every leaders primary duty.
- Management is one of the few remaining sustainable competitive advantages left. To qualify as a competitive advantage, management must have the right design. Design is the defining feature of management.
- But management is in trouble: Management needs a new spirit. New management theory has a hard time finding customers. The new context requires a different craft set. It’s features are customised, individual, scalable, immersive.
- It’s faulty leadership that got is in trouble – it is the problem. Faults are always attributed to people – the basking was on management.
- Management and with it, organizations, are in need of innovation.
Making Management Visible
- Management is a complex system, an intangible value, and a dynamic capability. We cannot see it and, therefore, it is difficult to advance it. Complex implies awareness. Intangible value implies that it makes a difference. Dynamic implies that it adapts to changing contexts.
- Twins make management visible, and, therefore, malleable.
- Twins are visible dynamic copies of real-world assets. Dynamic means that the twin becomes clearer with more information. Virtual (for management) is a stretch. Digital twins are for tangible assets. The digital twin for intangibles have yet to be invented.
- With twins, executives can view present conditions, anticipate opportunities, plan changes, test decisions, and transfer that experience into the real world to experience peak performance.
- Our organization twin comes with inventory dimensions (the building blocks of management) and perspectives (how we work with the twin).
Management Needs Design
- Organization twins reduce the costs of analysis and implementation, they limit the risks of strategies and plans and accelerate growth by opening opportunities.
- Because most interferences in organisations are caused by faulty design, organization twins have many applications: …
- Projects with management twins are fast and inexpensive (compared to traditional consulting, coaching and training projects)
- The work with management twins facilitates collaboration, teamwork, interaction.
- Organization twins integrate, visual design thinking, Management Design, Diagnostic Mentoring and the inner game.
- The include The Performance Triangle, People-Centric Management, Agile by Choice, and Organisational Life Cycle Transitions (2023).
The Benefits
- The survey provides unprecedented insights into the intangibles
- Insights are available in no time
- Enables participants to create awareness and contribute to a solution
- Leaves choices with executives – not the consultant
- A safe place to toss around ideas without implications
- Provides insights, scenarios and simulations
- From insights to performance – integrated, holistic, systemic
- Choice of depth of analysis
- Enables complementary, complexity, ambidexterity
