Modern companies find themselves in a dilemma: on the one hand, products and services must be provided efficiently, on the other hand, the ability to innovate is essential for sustainable success. While it sounds perfectly logical in theory, putting it to action typically makes organizational shortcomings come to light. The occuring tensions are reflected in the corporate culture and often cause frustration and overworking of employees. Fundamental organizational changes, such as dual structures and adaptions at ever shorter intervals, are becoming indispensable in order to create supporting structures. In this talk, the author gives an insight into the problems of ambidexterity and explains which psychological and organizational levers need to be used to create real sustainable change.
