Bottom-up model helps organizations to develop “ambidextrous” culture balanced between “exploitation” and “exploration”

A Danish researcher reviewed the literature on ambidexterity in order to develop an “innovation capacity building” framework.

The researcher proposed a bottoms-up model based around a feedback loop between the management team and employees.

The theory is that the process enables employees to move to a more ambidextrous culture through an organic process of self-learning.

The author said there was a lack of analysis in the existing literature about the process of creating an ambidextrous culture.
