The target picture is the High Performance Organization . It combines two essential strengths:
clear structures and processes that ensure reliability and quality,and agile ways of working with true ownership that enable speed and adaptability.
If only one of these strengths is developed, typical pitfalls emerge:
Too many rules slow down decision-making and flexibility
Too much hierarchy creates long and inefficient processes.
Too much start-up spirit without structure puts quality and reliability at risk.
Only the balance of both dimensions leads into the High Performance Zone – where speed, efficiency and robustness reinforce each other.
