Independent children and non-independent businesses.
Speaker.
In today’s society, most children grow up to be independent adults. At the beginning of this process, parents have full responsibility and constant care – 24/7.
– The same is true for the founders of companies, but unfortunately their creations rarely live long and even more rarely become independent, even though companies/organisations are organisms of a kind.
– Why?!
– What should company founders do?
– Who can help?
– A paradoxical situation: a civilised and safe world for people, at the same time and right there for companies/organisations, a brutal jungle with deadly dangers.
– Knowing the basics of how organisations survive, develop and grow, it is possible to replicate this process and help other companies to do the same – to create a safer environment.
