The Netherlands faces major challenges: housing construction, the energy transition, water safety, and peace and security. No initiative can be undertaken anymore without touching upon the interests of third parties. Organizations therefore only realize their ambitions if they are granted the necessary social license to operate – and thus if they earn the trust of their surroundings.
That calls for context-driven working: deliberately shaping one's own goals in alignment with the interests of the environment. Not just by stakeholder managers, but by the organization as a whole. Only then does an organization work toward a future that is not only permitted, but also granted.
In the whitepaper Built for lasting success Robin Schram and Jan-Pieter van de Weerd demonstrate how to establish context-based working as an organizational competency. Using the SOM method and the SOM COMPASS, they present a step-by-step process: from diagnosis to institutionalization. Download the white paper below.
