Dr. Michael Sonntag

In this Interview I am pointing out, why our current management- and economic system is 'sick'​ and how a 'healthy' system would look like.

In this interview I describe why our traditional way of coping with complexity leads to wrong decisions and inefficient management systems.

This is an interview in a special issue for the Swiss Economic Forum 2015 of REPORTAGEN, a Swiss Journal written in German. It's about why our traditional management system and economy fail and why the traditional management model creates the most inefficient economic system you can imagine. Some principles and the aim of a new paradigm are mentioned.
Only if we are able to sustainably co-create shared value for all involved stakeholders, our integrity is assured and meaning is created. The… Mehr anzeigen

This Podcast was produced together with an Interview of Reportagen.com addressing the topic of this years Swiss Economic Forum on 'Simplify. Mastering Complexity'​
It is in Swisss German - sorry!

The human brain exhibits a series of unique and highly desirable characteristics. It has the ability to grow rapidly during development, to learn, adapt and self-heal after injuries. It is capable of making new discoveries and connecting seemingly disparate thoughts. At the core of these characteristics lies the brain’s ability to self-organize and form new connections, which is described by the term ‘neuroplasticity’.

The human brain exhibits a series of unique and highly desirable characteristics. It has the ability to grow rapidly during development, to learn, adapt and self-heal after injuries. It is capable of making new discoveries and connecting seemingly disparate thoughts. At the core of these characteristics lies the brain’s ability to self-organize and form new connections, which is described by the term ‘neuroplasticity’.

In an age where adaptability, creativity, and connectedness are key success factors for organizations, a new understanding of organizations as living systems may be called for. In this article, we want to introduce the concept of management plasticity that challenges the underlying beliefs that shape traditional organizational structures.

In our case study, we illustrate how the principles and practice of management plasticity, like neuroplasticity, allow for development and connectivity, learning and memory, creativity and leadership as well as innovation.
