Organizational Development: Levers for Greater Performance
This interview-style article discusses shifting the focus from 'agility' as an end in itself to organizational performance and resilience. Consultant and author Tillmann Seidel argues companies should align work around end-to-end value streams, set team-based goals and group incentives, and build psychological safety plus clear accountability to drive a performance culture. The piece highlights stagnant labour productivity in Germany (≈0.3% annual growth since 2020) and cites the Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft naming digitization, AI, innovation, bureaucracy reduction and investment as key productivity levers. It also examines the potential of an organizational "digital twin" to simulate restructuring but warns that fragmented HR data and privacy/work-council constraints are practical barriers. Retail examples show different value-stream needs (e.g., perishables vs. dry goods) and note that pilot programs can create internal competition unless carefully managed.
