22. Professional Tension Management in the
IPPM Organization®
• Professional Tension Management requires a corporate culture
which is dominated by openess, mutual trust, and the ability to deal
with conflicts and disagreements.
• Managers must demonstrate and also claim professional tention
management from „top down“.
• „Good“ decisions are rationally AND emotionally right.
• There is no right or wrong – no black or white any more. It‘s about
taking the right decisions for the moment, it‘s about taking chances
and proactively fighting risks. What was right yesterday can be
wrong tomorrow.
• Constructive criticism is required and asked for. Destructive
criticism is prohibited.
• Areas of tensions and disagreements: Human vs. Human, Issue
vs. Human, Human vs. Issue, within humans

are concentrated in vertical functions and
departments.
• Personal ressources are normally assigned to
the functional managers.
• Values are solely created in business processes,
programs, and projects.
• Process managers, program managers and
project managers coordinate and manage the

or project teams.
• Conflicting goals are solved through a
professional tention management (vertical vs.
horizontal goals).
