  • Don't stumble into Succession Crisis. Start with Systemic Scenarios.
    Mar 16 2024

    Systemic Scenarios for Succession Planning

    Succession planning in family-owned businesses is often delayed or avoided, leading to suboptimal outcomes for owners and the business. Starting early with succession planning is recommended, using a systemic scenario planning approach that focuses on the relationships and dynamics within the business. The process involves assessing the current situation, developing future scenarios, evaluating implications, engaging stakeholders, and implementing and monitoring the plan. Stakeholders can participate in seminars to gain insights from others facing similar challenges. This step-by-step approach reduces stress and helps the organization retain and grow its resilience.


    Takeaways


    • Succession planning in family-owned businesses is often neglected, leading to last-minute scrambles and suboptimal outcomes.
    • Starting early with succession planning and using a systemic scenario planning approach can lead to better results.
    • The process involves assessing the current situation, developing future scenarios, evaluating implications, and engaging key stakeholders.
    • Participating in seminars with other stakeholders facing similar challenges can provide valuable insights and mutual learning experiences.

  • Struggeling to come to the point? Try this first.
    Feb 25 2024

    How to come to the point in conversations?

    In this episode, we explore the common challenge of losing our counterpart or audience in conversation and strategies to overcome it. Drawing from real-life experiences, we discuss the story of a senior manager struggling with communication feedback and how systemic coaching helped him navigate this issue.


    The manager's struggle was not uncommon, reflecting a broader issue in organizational communication across cultures and hierarchies. Through role-playing exercises, he learned to lead with recommendations rather than lengthy explanations, leading to improved connection and understanding with his manager.


    Key takeaways include the importance of being mindful of the other person's needs in conversation, developing cultural awareness, and the value of trying the opposite approach if traditional methods are ineffective.
