Ambidexterity: Dimensions for a new scenario
José Luis Prieto Calviño
Abstract:
The effects of the VUCA world (stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) affect all kind of organizations and sectors. So, those related to Testing, Inspection, Certification cannot be oblivious. They face the enormous disadvantage of having remained focused on their technical competence having forgotten the importance of management one and its related aspects. The new editions of the international standards of the ISO 17000 series, revised under the High Level Structure (HLS) of ISO Directives Part One, and in particular, the International Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017 depicts a global approach to objectives and processes. So new challenges also appear in the horizon for sustainability in TIC organizations, especially oriented towards their organizational/managerial aspects where their staff must be focused on. Innovation-driven organizations will be their wide umbrella and a necessary evolution to achieve it is moving through two dimensions such as exploration and exploitation. When it is talking about ambidexterity, or its adjective ambidextrous, one is referring to the link between these two dimensions. This paper introduces the vision chosen from a metrology center such as LOMG to select one combination of exploration and exploitation that allows to face the new scenario with solidity and ensure its sustanaibility and this, through the consolidation of its minimum-viable innovation system (MVIS) which refers to the essential blocks to move to a business-oriented organization.
