Today’s leaders face a world that’s anything but predictable. Volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environments are the new normal, demanding a shift in leadership that goes beyond strategy alone.
In today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world, many worry that by the time a strategy is built, the world will have already moved on and the strategy itself will be outdated before it’s even launched. Many articles explore the idea that the pace of change has outpaced the discipline of strategy—though (spoiler alert) they always circle back around to reaffirm the necessity of strategy.
So how do non-profit organizations work – or not? On this episode of Open to Debate, David Moscrop talks with Brooke Struck, strategy facilitator and the founder and CEO of the firm Converge (http://convergehere.com/).
In this talk, Brooke will talk about how our culture over-values predictability and struggles with change, how to tame the chaos of “small failures” that we need on the road to “big successes,” and the invaluable role of wisdom and experience that we gain as we age.
In this episode of The Decision Corner, Brooke is joined for the second time by Roger Martin, one the the world’s leading business minds, the former dean of the Rotman School of Business, and the author of the newly released book A New Way to Think: Your Guide to Superior Management Effectiveness. This time around, the two discuss how mental models guide business decisions, and how we can restructure failing mental models to improve ourselves, our teams, and our organizations.
