Level of audience: Advanced
For more than 30 years, I have worked in organizations, assisting with business transfer processes, particularly with family businesses. I’ve seen the extent to which notions of heritage, legitimacy and identity were involved. And how relevant the contributions of transactional analysis were. Here’s how I propose to structure this workshop, indicating the proposed content and the TA concepts involved:
How can transactional analysis be used in the field of organizations to account for transmission processes, the underlying issues and the problems raised – in both the individual and organizational dimensions? Key concepts: Fox diagram, boundary dynamics, imago regression, formal authority diagram, misrecognition, ego-state contamination,
Beyond the material and financial transfer of a company, what legacies are passed on to the transferee and the system – from the visible to the invisible? Key concepts: Scenario, Evhemere, Culture, Drivers, Injonctions, Impasses
How does the question of legitimacy arise for the buyer? Key concepts: Responsible, effective and psychological leadership, Primal leader, Technique
What impact does the transfer have on the company’s cultural identity, on the transferee’s identity and on members’ identification with the business and culture? Key concepts: Denomination, Objectives, Etiquette, Culture, Impasses
What are the specifics of family business transfers? Key concepts: Family/transgenerational scenario, injunctions and counter-injunctions
How to support the manager/managers and their teams during a business transfer. Key concepts: Contract, Diagnosis, Hunger, Permission, Protection, Autonomy
In addition to theoretical and methodological contributions, this workshop will provide an opportunity for participants and the facilitator to exchange and share experiences.
