When a new book comes out regenerating the work of an obscure political philosopher who died 45 years ago, one must start with “why now?”
Read here Adam Gordon's review of a new book on Rick Turner.

Here I look at a study of how design thinking may be applied beyond the in-house innovation team i.e. be a model for multi-agency collaboration in solving societal or environmental problems https://t.co/tZggFKmGhW
I take a look at Karl Weick's 'surfacing apprehension' for innovation insight, continuing the lessons of the Mann Gulch disaster, as just published in Academy of Management Discoveries @AOMConnect
I look at a new piece in @SMJ_Jour Strategic Management Journal on the problem of 'strategic persistence' i.e. uncertainty drives managers to cling to what worked last time rather than reorient when necessary - and how a scenarios view can remediate this https://t.co/eW95CZT6lI
A theory explains what is. Can one have a theory if that 'is' is in the future? The empirical base must be our hopes and dreams, but what can that explain? After reading and writing a bit around this, I support the project but doubts remain. https://t.co/UryuYp43sh
my ongoing mining for value in the management lit - here a structured methodology for achieving (socially and environmentally) responsible innovation / adoption of new technologies where traditional governance has yet to manifest. https://t.co/JZSCEP5Zyf
Nordic companies lead in sustainability... but how much could transpose elsewhere? Skeptically digging into California Management Review article, May 2024 https://t.co/udpZBCvLJi
Kudos to Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies @AIAS_dk for convening a future focused Rebuilding of Ukraine conference today, with various Ukrainian nationals on the podium as well as scholars from across @AarhusUni @MGMTBSS
As an ex-scribbler off this sort, I vouch for all these @helenlewis long-form journalism writing tips. And well told too - without the obligatory self-deprecation and faux modesty https://t.co/hShY6GTyqv
On US /alliance role in Ukraine's future -the art of taking the long view while managing the present, aka "walking and chewing gum at the same time," @SecBlinken says. Politician interviews can be very 'message,' but this is real stuff, from @TheAtlantic https://t.co/xJVg82pfaw
What's really shaping the future of the US trucking industry, post Covid? In this @wired longread it's less tech, AI, self-driving blah blah, and more the changing culture of truckers (religion) and the systemic mismanagement of driver retention. @WIRED https://t.co/HXYtech6ar
Christopher Eaglin's study which deservedly won 'best paper' at the recent @ISC Conference https://t.co/cp7zoXTJZC shows how reducing drivers' debt load leads to safer driving (in the minibus taxi industry in South Africa.) Full text on @HarvardHBS https://t.co/utXeLq4mFX
Superb this @TorstenBell on @PoliticsJOE_UK It's already a win when an economist can emerge from the fog of their own data and actually think. Doubly so when they ably debunk easy futures for what it is, and can suggest better. https://t.co/XvJhU28lQC
"People safely bound into absurd networks of privilege have taken endlessly stupid decisions, knowing that their wealth and connections mean they will never have to worry about the consequences. This is... how we were led out of the European Union" https://t.co/FmZYfzdD5c
Value in this Helen Haste, @ChopraVidur@UNESCO Future of Education 2050 (2020): setting out 6 modes of "how change is being experienced and how people are likely to be engaged with it." The bottom-up view is oft spoken of in foresight, here it gets legs. https://t.co/RcBd9xNMEk
Future of banking from @McKQuarterly - 4 models for rethinking the ways financial services are embedded into everyday life. How banks can respond to the rise of cross-industry platforms by becoming... just that. Bro, can you spare Tencent? https://t.co/Ze8F7n75aa
