Aneta Mladenova-Natova, PCC’s Post

Insights from the ISPSO Symposium Last Friday, our CEO, Aneta Mladenova-Natova, PCC, had the privilege of participating in the ISPSO Symposium in Sofia. It was an enriching experience, filled with engaging presentations and valuable conversations. Dr. Stan Gold’s keynote was particularly thought-provoking. Building on Freud's "Civilisation and its Discontents," he explored the balance between individual freedoms and societal demands. He emphasised that organisations must embrace reality's complex, multi-dimensional nature and be open to transformation. Key Takeaways: - Understanding conflicts within organisations. - Risks of sterility in organisations avoiding change and innovation. - Continuous scrutiny and adaptation to maintain organisational vitality. Paper Session: Tension in Groups Aneta also attended a compelling paper session titled "Tension in Groups: The Developmental Conflict in Groups," presented by Conrad S Chrzanowski and moderated by Sarah Wynick. This session delved into Wilfred Bion's ideas on group dynamics. Key Insights: - Understanding Freud's "narcissism of minor differences." - The impact of developmental conflict on group cohesion and productivity. - Strategies to manage and contain these conflicts to foster innovation and growth. Connecting and Learning The event was a fantastic opportunity to learn and make new connections. We are grateful to the organisers for such a well-orchestrated event that provided a platform for meaningful discussions and exchange of ideas. #ISPSO2023 #Leadership #OrganisationalDevelopment #Freud #Bion #GroupDynamics #Innovation #Growth #LeadFitGlobal

🚀 ☕ Pausefika news: Long-Term Policy, The Key to Unlocking Swedish Research Excellence? Swedish research policy has made bold strides since the early 1990s, aiming to improve research quality and international competitiveness. Despite significant investments and new initiatives, a recently released report, "Perspectives on Excellence Initiatives", reveals that Sweden - where I live - has not achieved the desired boost in global impact. 🔍 Key Findings from the Report: - Major political support and resource allocation have driven innovation and change in Swedish universities. - However, unlike comparable countries (Denmark, France - my home country - or Germany), Sweden's research has not strengthened its international influence. - Lessons from these initiatives highlight the need for a more consistent, long-term policy framework. 🗨️ Anders Broström, CEO of the Entreprenörskapsforum, emphasizes: "We need research policy grounded in robust evaluations and designed for long-term institutional autonomy and academic freedom. Universities must be empowered to deliver both impactful research and quality education." 🌍 As Sweden embarks on new excellence initiatives, learning from the past is critical to securing its place as a leader on the global research stage. 👉 Let’s spark the conversation: - How can Swedish universities adapt to maximize their global impact? - Are autonomy and flexibility the key to unlocking research excellence? Join the discussion and share your insights on Pausefika! 💡Check out the Google NotebookLM podcast generated from the report here: https://lnkd.in/d3BTvRTY #research #Sweden #universities #megatrends #Pausefika #strategy #researchimpact

Have you found there are limits to nudging? What lies beyond nudging? 🤔 In a Bescy Environment Group talk earlier this year, Kristian Steensen Nielsen, Assistant Professor at Copenhagen Business School and Erik Thulin, Senior Director of Behavioural Science at Rare both emphasised the limits of nudging. Kristian commented 🔉 “When thinking about behaviour change, people immediately think of ‘nudges’. But nudging is a tiny part of behaviour change interventions and can limit the scope; interventions can be much more varied.” Erik went on to present a simple matrix classifying types of behaviour change interventions: 📈 Complexity of behaviour change challenge lies on one axis, 📉 Intensity of an intervention on the other axis. He believes nudge has focused attention on the bottom left of activity — simple behavioural challenges solved by tiny costless nudges. Yet if we want truly transformative change, we need to explore the rest of this space — the more complex challenges and more intensive interventions. The sustainability transition is certainly a complex challenge (and that's still an understatement). People now increasingly talk of "War-time effort"... In our upcoming events, we will be exploring some of these far-reaching, systemic behaviour change interventions. Stay tuned!
