Improvisation in Action
认为即兴创作不仅是隐喻,更是一种增强组织战略更新的取向和技术,通过借鉴戏剧即兴练习,连接理论与实践,并描述了一个典型工作坊如何发展六项关键管理能力。
It has often been proposed, or assumed, that improvisation is a useful metaphor to provide insight into managing and organizing. However, improvisation is more than a metaphor. It is an orientation and a technique to enhance the strategic renewal of an organization. The bridge between theory and practice is made through exercises used to develop the capacity to improvise, borrowed from theatre improvisation. This paper describes a typical improvisation workshop in developing six key areas that link improvisation exercises to the practice of management: interpreting the environment; crafting strategy; cultivating leadership; fostering teamwork; developing individual skills; and assessing organizational culture.
