Summary/Abstract: The contemporary organisational environment is characterised by turbulence, automation,robots, implementation of AI and new generations in the labour market. These characteristicsmake it necessary to search for ways to stay consistent. One of such ways is the implementationof the consistency concept, whose main idea is to identify consistency platforms, and thereforealso the elements that comprise these platforms and the mechanisms that must be implementedto make them consistent. It is also necessary to work out the consistency measures for particularplatforms. Managers who want to identify the causes of organisational pathologies must understandthe consistency concept and the ways to implement it in practice. This way, a proper organisationaldiagnosis is possible and the many organisational pathologies resulting from the lack of consistencycan be eliminated. These pathologies have different natures and many of them worsen the financialsituation of organisations. They also weaken the competitive position of organisations in the longterm. The reasons to present the consistency concept is the necessity to search for new ways ofincreasing organisational effectiveness. This necessity results from higher competition pressure.It is also necessary to build the awareness of the consistency concept and its implementation. It isalso important to connect the lack of consistency with organisational pathologies. The hypothesisof the paper says that a lack of consistency results in many organisational pathologies, and thesepathologies may result in a decrease of organisational effectiveness. This connection between thelack of consistency and pathologies in organisations was researched in organisations by conductingindividual interviews with managers. The research results show clearly that the hypothesis is trueand the lack of consistency leads to many organisational pathologies.
