The best way to predict the future is to be its architect
Complex framework conditions require quick decisions
The key success factor for dealing with complexity and dynamics is the realization that we can no longer force every task into clearly defined process steps, work instructions and organizational responsibilities.
Instead, we need a jointly supported target state to work towards. To achieve this, managers need strong partners and new skills.
