 Navigation Means Beginning: What Prevents Us from the New?Tommi Gustafsson (), Frank Kühn () and Jan Sølvberg () A chapter in Navigating a Travelling Organization, 2022, pp 29-51 from Springer Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses approaches and examples of how effective navigation can be realized by focusing on unknown future challenges rather than keeping to the well-known practices of the past, and by freeing ourselves for exploratory thinking rather than being restricted to classical business language. The organizational system, business language, and thinking patterns are closely interconnected; they can condition, support, and hinder each other. Thus, by intervening in terminology and language use, we can influence the course of the traveling organization. The authors analyzed their experiences with organizational development and transformation projects as well as with the latest research and prioritized five words that make a difference: Ending, Suddenly, Waving, Treasure, and Laughter. Working with these words and their concepts in business environments will create significant aha moments or eureka effects. It will help navigate the company toward the future with an engaged and informed workforce and a management team that is prepared for surprising perceptions, paradoxical thinking, unusual ideas, and astonishing results.
