Engaging for society or becoming a manager? Just combine!
“To stay engaged with global markets and be successful in the future business must get social.” Being social is now a must. Putting the customer in the enter of attention and allow him to connect. Anytime, anywhere. This has been developed over years now and is not really new any more. But what is meant…
The checklist manager is dead. Good bye to traditional business goals
It is a pity. Good old times have gone. And with them the checklist manager approach to make business. But which kind of business? The clear goals to achieve – where they are? Do we still know how these goals should look? Some years ago it was pretty easy: There were clear rules in place,…

This is not bad, do not get me wrong, but I just wonder why social enterprise thinking takes the traditional old ways…
Internal globalization processes are needed
I heard already in the 80s about the elder generation looking for professional studies which they always were interested in, but never had time for. I do not mean the countless participants in beginner courses for language studies who are always well visited and caused by motivations such as being able to talk to people…
Social change does not work like business change
Social change does not work like a business change. Social change organizations are not exactly like business. A different context defines the problems and a different mind-set is required to approach the work. Easy, isn’t it?Everybody knows. But it is so hard to deal with when business meets social. It just starts with the language….
Millenials: Will the digital generation change the society?
“Individuality, profile, Design thinking methodology, more networking – we need a completely different approach and change.” This is what we can hear in a huge number of discussions, conferences, publications.
