Relations of Appreciation within Corporate futuring (and Organisational futuring)
.
.
There exists a close vertical relationship within Corporate futuring:
- Outer focus: Business model
- Other focus: Organisational structure
- Inner focus: Appreciation
.
On the Inner focus level, a close relationship exists with:
- Long term thinking
- Steering
.
Corporate futuring and Organisational futuring intertwine, on the Inner focus level, through:
- Motivation
- Governance
.
In concrete terms, this means:
- The trio - 'Appreciation', 'Organisational structure' and 'Business model' - is inextricably linked.
- Your 'Appreciation' contributes substantially to 'Long term thinking' and 'Steering'.
- To realise 'Long term thinking', you need to invest in 'Motivation'. Even so, to realise your 'Steering', you need the right 'Governance'.
.
Questions we can ask ourselves when contemplating our Appreciation
- Is our 'Appreciation' the source of our 'Organisational structure' and 'Business model'?
- Is our 'Appreciation' robust enough to generate 'Steering'?
- Is our 'Appreciation' keen enough to create 'Long term thinking'?
- Or does our 'Appreciation' prohibit a relationship between Long term thinking and our Steering? (See Collider)
