How to Create Engaged Transparency Among Employees
This article by Thomas Ortner, Christoph Brielmaier, Martin Friesl and Christoph Jandl is now published in the California Management Review.
Strategic transparency alone is not enough to engage employees. The article introduces the concept of engaged transparency and identifies four key conditions—accessibility, attention, applicability and authenticity—that can be established through a combination of material and social enablers. Engaged transparency fosters strategic understanding and enables employees to form informed strategic judgments, which do not necessarily lead to strategic alignment.
