In a thought-provoking dialogue hosted by Paul Barnett, founder of the Enlightened Enterprise Academy, included four leading thinkers in management, economics, systems science, and strategy came together to explore the relevance and future of strategic thinking in an era defined by complexity, unpredictability, and radical change.
Nice summary. Many of the points have been made over the last three or four decades (e.g., strategy execution, value chains, agile, continuous beta, decentralized innovation, after-action reviews, commanders intent statements, combinatorial innovation, stakeholder capitalism, conscious capitalism, social enterprise), but the combination of them seem fresh and new.
The dialog, in essence, is about #design of what potentially is a new kind of enterprise as well as a new kind of practical scholarship to #assess its #development and #implementation. It is a scaffold for a subsequent dialog that would focus down on with whom, what, and where development and implementation can begin.
The only suggestion in yesterday's dialog about this next step is that development and implementation of this new kind of enterprise and associated scholarship would be least constrained in the #plural sector even if the enterprise extends into the public and private sectors.
Given the definitional plurality of the plural sector, a subsequent dialog could explore the kinds of entities and cross-cutting communities in which to prototype and analyze alternatives for the implicate new-to-the-world enterprises.
