To address the challenges of strategy in open, loosely joined networks, we have designed a simple strategy process that harnesses our collective intelligence.

"Going digital" needs to be at the top of your to-do list. It's a great time for our new online course "Strategic Doing: Ten Skills for Agile Leadership in Digital Transformation," in partnership with the Digital Enterprise Society - launching May 18. https://t.co/aNjnsBV4BJ
The internet is 30 today! It's hard to remember what our lives were like before. For a ever-larger number, it's literally impossible - they have always had the internet. It's the biggest "S-Curve shift" we will see in our lifetimes. How do we help our communities make the jump?

Successful economic development does not come in chasing shiny objects. Prosperity emerges from well designed strategies and relentless experimentation. To develop new ecosystems, we need new tools, frameworks and training. That's where we focus.
We often confront complex, wicked challenges. These present themselves as complex adaptive systems. You can create one with a stick, and we introduce this exercise at the start of every training. The challenge of course: the systems we confront in daily life are invisible.
Our workshops are different. They're highly structured, disciplined events in which we stimulate deep strategic thinking with powerful questions. Each participant has a workbook. All of our exercises are timed to keep us focused.
Organizational transformations are driven by people with a different mindset. They shift from a hierarchical/scarcity mindset to a network/opportunity mindset. This transformation takes time. We designed our disciplines to speed the transformation.
We are exploring new connections in the Netherlands and Belgium. Last week, we traveled to @Nyenrode Business Universiteit and @Vlerick Business School. Both are engaged in work closely aligned with our lab.
We are excited about the one credit course that we are watching the summer to Purdue undergraduates. It's all about introducing students to the emerging science and practice of complex collaboration. https://t.co/J9TKgdrB6H
We spent the last two days with a management team in a company in The Netherlands. After an introduction to our approach to agile strategy, the team began to see the power of this approach to customize their own strategy process.
We are delighted to again be joining @YoYo_Ma - this time in #Flint - in a few weeks. We're honored to help introduce him to the large @Strategic_Doing community there. https://t.co/D0eWNd1F3d @BroadwayWorld
