Between stability and instability : Analyzing the influence of contradictory narratives in the Gripen E development on the collective sensemaking processKaiser, Philipp Nils Patrick, Lintner, Susanne January 2020 (has links)
A growing number of organizations developing complex innovation projects face the dilemma that complexity demands more stability, resulting in increased sensemaking efforts, whilst innovation requires instability which encourages the organization to breakdown meaning. The aim of this study is to shed light on the simultaneous need for a strong sensemaking process and a breaking down in meaning in complex innovation projects by analyzing the collective sensemaking process through a storytelling lens. By conducting an explorative case study, we investigated a long-term development project in the Swedish defense industry. The qualitative study is based upon ten in-depth interviews with technical experts occupying key positions in the investigated project (JAS39 Gripen E-series development). We followed a process study approach to investigate the dynamic attributes and effects of a changing dominant story on the sensemaking process of project sub-teams. We propose that the dual attributes of arising dominating narratives allow sub- collectives to "escape" the dangerous downward spiral of a collapsing sensemaking process, as they enable individuals with cause maps contradictory to an organization's dominant story to remain in action. The acceptance of temporal relaxed stability can therefore be seen as an important step in the creation of radical innovation.

Dekonstruksie van die invloed van die sosiale diskoers "Godsdiens": 'n individuele narratief / Deconstruction of the influence of the social discourse "religion": an individual narrativeNaudé, Susanna Sophia 02 1900 (has links)
In hierdie verhandeling reflekteer ek oor my godsdiensdiskoers en die invloed
daarvan op my lewe, beide as persoon en as terapeut. My werk vind 'n nis in
die wyse waarop dit die 'stil, onsigbare mensa' benader wie se stories gevorm
is deur diskoerse van die modemistiese samelewing. In my navorsing kry ek te
doen met problema wat in die algemeen met die praktyke van marginalisering
geassosieer word. Die narratiewe gesprekvoering met 'medeskrywers' aan my
storie en interaksie met hulle verskillende horisonne kristalliseer in 'n
bevrydende en veelvlakkige insig. Hierdie kennis stel my in staat om nuwe
keuses te maak en 'n alternatiewe storie vir myself te formuleer. Die studie illustreer
dus nie net hoe narratiewe terapie die 'stil, onsigbare' produkte van 'n
paternalistiese samelewing kan bemagtig nie. Dit wys ook op die waarde van
die oopstelling van die terapeut se eie verhaal vir sy/haar vorming as terapeut. / In this dissertation I reflect on my religious discourse, its influence on my life
and how it affects me, both as a person and a therapist. It addresses a niche in
its approach to the 'silent, invisible people' whose stories are authored by the
discourses of a modernistic society. My research stumbles on all kinds of
problems that are generally associated with the practices of marginalisation.
Acting as both client and therapist, I enter into numerous interactive conversational
sessions with 'co-authors' of my story, afJ with different contexts and
horizons. This process crystallises in a liberating and multi-faceted truth. The
newly gained knowledge enables me to make new choices and formulate tor
myself an alternative story. This study illustrates not only how narrative practices
may empower the 'silent, invisible' products of a patemalistic society. It
also shows how therapists may benefit from the deconstruction of their own
story in both a personal and professional way. / Practical Theology / M. Th. (Pastoral Theology)
