Are You A Whitespace Champion?

Business leaders are constantly told that to create more value they need to move beyond formal strategy, structure, and systems—into the organizational whitespace where speed and flexibility reign.

That’s because some potentially very important initiatives just won’t get off the ground if they have to work within the blackspace—the organization’s usual systems for planning, organizing, and controlling.

What can managers do to maximize the value of these outside-the-box efforts?

In this webcast Mark Maletz will give you some best practices for managing in whitespace—and how executives can help their companies nurture a wider range of value-generating projects.

In This Webinar Learn:

  1. Why effective management of both blackspace and whitespace initiatives can improve your organization’s performance – and how each type must be managed differently
  2. How to decide whether a project belongs in whitespace
  3. The four keys to success in managing whitespace projects, including concrete steps senior executives can take to encourage the most valuable whitespace projects
  4. When to move a project into blackspace or terminate it—and when to leave it in whitespace indefinitely
  5. Findings of a unique, in-depth research project that explored whitespace projects and management behaviors in 12 companies
