APPLIED WISDOM FOR
INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS:
MANAGING FOR WISDOM-RELATED PERFORMANCE
In today’s rapidly changing world,
organizations face the unique challenges of multiple ‘dualisms:’ working
productively in the present while innovating fruitfully for the future,
being successful but not becoming a victim of the success, and acting under
conditions of uncertainty while having a clear vision of the future. A lack
of managerial ability to deal productively with such conflicting challenges
can lead to disasters in many organizations. Is there a promising solution?
Yes, wisdom management! This workshop offers a great opportunity to learn:
