Building entrepreneurial businesses
Succession which recognises differences
Maintaining entrepreneurial success through different stages of growth, often means that entrepreneurial decision making is integrated with tried and tested management approaches. In some businesses, this leads to a decline in opportunity recognition and creativity. This is compounded by individual differences in personality, behaviour and thinking which present a challenge for succession planning.
Research shows that navigating a business through senior management and board positions without considering the diversity in personality, behaviour, decision making, skills or knowledge can lead to dysfunction and misalignment. Rootbind’s evidence based approach provides entrepreneurs and managers the knowledge and tools to plan succession during and after the founder’s exit. Read more >
Collaboration through shared cognition
Harnessing different thinkers for success
Research shows that entrepreneurial and management cognitive differences can lead to a significant loss of tacit knowledge in organizations. While specialist explicit knowledge in science, engineering and technology firms is easily transferred, identifying what is in the founder’s head is more problematic.
Rootbind works with organizations to facilitate change through shared information and a collaborative approach. We believe that harnessing different thinkers makes the biggest impact on long term success. We consistently draw on the latest research in psychology, innovation, entrepreneurship and organization behaviour to translate research into meaning for businesses. Read more >
The Entrepreneurial Paradox
Resilient business thinking for sustainable growth
Entrepreneurial cognitive dualities and paradoxes present a challenge for businesses when managers and entrepreneurs interact over strategic and operations decisions. Exposing and exploring these differences can lead to individual and organizational alignment.
However, Rootbind’s evidence of working with seemingly autocratic decision makers who have developed a resistance and resilience to uncertainty and change, demonstrates that managers find this environment a challenge. Stakeholders therefore need to recognize the duality of entrepreneurial resilience, and recognize the factors that affect their interrelationship. Rootbind provides businesses a framework to understand and manage these complexities. Read more >
