Interactive Management

Abstract

Interactive Management is a process developed by Professor John Warfield to cope with the management of complexity. It is used on an intermittent basis to deal with issues or situations that are beyond the normal organizational context for problem solving. We are referring to those instances where in spite of meetings with people in teams closely connected to the flow of work, a sense of frustration is still being experienced because intuitively everyone senses that the outcomes should be more effective. The abstract discusses what IM is and how the process works including the notion of the problematique.

Key Words

Interactive Management, problematique, reality check, participative management, strategic action, team building, managing complexity.
