BUSINESS-PEOPLE RESEARCH™ (Badanie Biznes-Ludzie™). Fourth Edition 2026/27

TARKA EXECUTIVE is launching the fourth edition of the Business-People Research™ (BBL™). The 2026/27 edition is addressed to Partners, CEOs and key Decision-Makers: the Polish “Alphas” of corporate and private business, State Treasury companies, listed companies and private universities.

THE PATTERN
The Business-People Research™ is devoted to analysing and synthesising the Polish Management Pattern, that is, the actual rather than the declared way in which Polish women and men exercise power in business. We have conducted it every five years since 2011. The unchanging core of the Interview and analytical methods produces longitudinal results, allowing management phenomena to be observed over time.

CONTEXT AND CONTROL
Every five years we return with the same Interview to see how a change in Context (the market, the environment and the rules of the game) reshapes Control (the very way a company is managed). The fourth edition asks this question after fifteen years of observing the Polish Management Pattern.

THE MODEL
BBL™ is based on the Six C-s™ management model developed by TARKA EXECUTIVE. The model structures the conversation around the six most important areas of a company: Control, Concept, Construction, Competence, Compensation and Communication.

THE INTERVIEW
The Study takes the form of a focused, strictly confidential structured interview with the person running the company, conducted by TARKA EXECUTIVE Senior Experts. Information from the Interview is available only to the Participant and TARKA EXECUTIVE. Every interested Participant receives a free Summary Report on best market practices.

BENEFITS FOR PARTICIPANTS
This is not our assessment but the view of the Participants themselves: the greatest value turns out to be the few hours taken out of the calendar for structured reflection on their own way of running a company. There is simply no other study like it in Poland. Where possible, we also try to connect the Participants of our Studies with one another for business.

INVITATION
We invite you to take part in the fourth edition of BBL™. If you are interested in participating, please send a message to: aleksandra.zyskowska@tarka.pl
