An International Art Project on Freedom

Abstract

The author shares his experience acquired in the international project ‘Pillars of Freedom’ on the topic of freedom outside the organization; some concepts appropriate for organizations can be deduced from these experiences. Radical rethinking is needed—from organizations characterized by safety considerations and strictly target-oriented behaviour towards cooperative approaches governed by possibilities that open up with project-oriented working and various connectivities. Mobile units with maximum decision-making power will be established and use the possibilities of digital cross-border cooperation with alternating partners. Compliance issues and health and safety training will be replaced by self-regulating mechanisms governed by transparency in action. Thus, organizations will be better prepared to keep pace with the speed of information explosion and changing starting positions.
