Vibrant Thinking
Vibrant thinking is a method for the dynamic development of strategies, organizations and leadership. It was developed and scientifically researched by Koen Hazewinkel, Utho Creusen and Anna-Leena Haarkamp at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. The method is based on the dynamic evolutionary perspective that emerged in physics and biology at the beginning of the twentieth century.
The application to management[edit]
The philosophy of Vibrant Thinking is based on a dynamic, evolutionary worldview, which was created in physics and further developed in various scientific disciplines, especially biology.[1] [2] [3]. In applying Vibrant Thinking, organizations are considered complex adaptive systems. Vibrant Organizations are companies and institutions that have successfully applied the idea of Vibrant Thinking to their business processes in the areas of strategy, organizational development and leadership.
In Vibrant Thinking, the idea behind strategy shifts to a dynamic coexistence. The driving force behind the strategy is not so much competitiveness, but rather an inner goal from which the organization acts [4]. Dynamic strategy is about a long-term perspective [5].
Mobility, constant adaptation, permanent change and the development of the organization are at the heart of the method. In the dynamic perspective the organization is seen as a complex, adaptive system. The basis of this system is trust in the intelligence and good will of the employees. All of this is geared towards continuous development [6]. Vibrant Thinking views the executive as a coach who guides the process within autonomous teams within the complex system [7]. The principle is informal authority versus formal power. This requires a high degree of humanity and empathy [8]
