DESCRIPTION
In manufacturing we are faced with challenges every day. Polarity management allows us to distinguish between a problem to solve or a conflict to manage. Polarity management is a powerful tool that is useful at all levels, from top management to first line employees. We now quickly solve our problems through traditional methods and master our conflicts using Barry Johnson's mapping techniques. Polarity management has reduced our stress level, increased our productivity during team meetings and improved our effectiveness as a manufacturer. The concept of polarity management is a powerful tool for facilitating healthy change in an organization from the recognition of the complete picture of crusading and tradition bearing forces, an action plan emerges. Not only is the current plan of action clearer, but the predictive quality of the polarity model gives a clear view of what future change will be required as a result of today's action. Polarity, as a tool for both understanding and change, has become part of our every day practice.
