Sustainable Growth through Balancing Opposites

Assessment, Intervention and Monitoring

Dynamic Adaptable Balance
Sustainable Performance Growth

BusinessBalancing is a coach and organizational consulting psychologist for executives and their organizations.  We coach them in pursuing sustainable performance growth by balancing and integrating opposing forces within their organization such as disciplined execution and creative entrepreneurship. Most organizations are strong in one of the opposites and neglect the other. They perform far from optimal because they find it difficult to combine opposing forces such as quality and experimentation, compliance and change, action and self-reflection, reason and emotion, holding on and letting go, left brain and right brain capabilities.


Health Characteristic of Organizations

Living continuously in a state of balancing opposites is a universal health characteristic of complex adaptive systems. This applies not only to individuals, but also to organizations and ecosystems. We call this state Dynamic Adaptable Balance.

Inner and Outer Excellence 

To reach a state of balancing opposites, leaders and their organizations will have to grow toward intellectual, emotional, spiritual and cultural unity. Sustainable growth requires that organizations, their leaders and other members pursue  “inner excellence” (in the psyche and culture) with the same rigor and depth as technical or “outer excellence” (in behavior, processes and  systems).

 

Identifying Carriers and Barriers

Usually the biggest challenge for organizational renewal lies in the identification and removal of inner roadblocks and the development of inner capabilities. I.e. in finding the barriers and carriers in the psyche and the culture of the organization. And hereby taking into account also the barriers and carriers in outer behavior, processes and systems.

How do you easily identify in which of these areas you have to drill deeper? In an unobtrusive way?  Without inquiring many representatives within your organization? And without massive on-line surveys and portals for extensive data gathering?

 

Approach and Tool Support

We now have a breakthrough assessment, intervention and monitoring approach to guide organizations and their leaders on a learning journey to discover both their inner and outer carriers and barriers for renewal and growth. This can be done effectively and efficiently by using a sophisticated software support tool that requires a minimum amount of input data. It nevertheless generates reproducible results and often shows unexpected relations.
