description
Just like any being an organisation goes through different phases in its evolution. This Friday we are going to take a closer look at these stages: pioneering, differentiating, integrating and associating as Lievegoed / Glasl identify them. Using the evolutionary theory of these and other scientists as background, the changes a company goes through are explained. Working in a start-up or being closely in contact with young, developing companies, we can observe changes everyday. But how do all these changes happen? With this presentation I hope to give you a tool to analyze the current life stadium of your organisation and to anticipate next phases.
