Organization as a machine… Idea of Man: „Gear in a gear mechanism“, People need regulations, pressure and control, primary manpower. …task specialization, …work standardization, …central decisions, …standardized regulations, …no task overlapping, …disjuncture of manual and mental work, …disjuncture of accomplishment and monitoring, …environment = „disturbance“. Company Suggestion Plan six sigma Attitude to work: Do my job… …get to the objective and no further! ERP, DIN ISO, PPS „connecting data“
Organization as an Organic System… Attitude to work: Advance my organization and myself. …contains people with their life and work processes, Dynamism …who has a part autonomous decision making process, …recognizes and proactively uses the exchange processes of the environment, …recognizes „organic“ feedback and backlashes and processes them proactively, …has creative redundancies! Warning! „Complexity trap“! Idea of Man: „Micro- Entrepreneur“! Doing interesting work, people are motivated intrinsically and don‘t need pressure. Holistic advancement & individual organizations Trend towards networking and matrix organization Special role of communi- cation
A learning organization… …learns on 3 x 3 levels.
Organization/Company… …as a machine …as an organic system Example: Knowledge Management connecting data connecting people Example: Management of Processes guide, norm, standard agile (vital) processes Example: Change Management „throw the lever“ (i.e. SAP-introduction) culture change Not „either … or“,not „first this, then that“but „both … and“, from the outset!

The Agile Manifest of Process Design Appreciation of values of the Agile Manifest: • We consider individuals and interactions to be more important than processes and tools • We consider executable processes to be more important than comprehensive documentation. • We consider collaboration with our customers to be more important than contract negotiation. • We consider the ability to react to changes to be more important than pursuing a plan. We therefore attach more importance to the former respectively values, but do not forget the importance of the latter. The agile manifest spotlights the human being and its interactions – with focus on running processes. Source: following Das Agile Manifest der Software Entwicklung www.agilemanifesto.org
Twelve Agile Principles • highest priority = customer requirements • changeable requirements – using changes in favor of the competitive advantage of the customers • frequent delivery • co-operation of customers and manufactures • motivation of the personnel and trust • direct communication • working processes as benchmark • endlessly consistent tempo • excellent quality • simplicity • self organizing teams • continuous self-reflection Source: following Das Agile Manifest der Software Entwicklung www.agilemanifesto.org

The three Circles of the Hidden Champions outer circle external chances tight market focus inner circle internal skills powerful leadership belief in own strength continued innovation clear competi-tive advan-tage global orien- tation core ambitious targets selected and motivated employees customer proximity Source: Simon (1996)
Formula For Success „Hidden Champions“ • objective: market leadership – no less! • concentration on markets and competences • global presence in target markets • customer proximity; value based, not price based • high innovation in product and process • integration of market und technique as motive force • local concentration of competitors, competitive advantages in quality and service • believe in own strength • more work than people, strict selection • committed leadership, authoritarian und participative, continuity Source: following Simon (1996)
Conclusion "Hidden Champions" find their own way. They differ in nearly everything from other companies and do not follow the ideas of the modern management-gurus. Perhaps this is the most important lesson…
