This blog is dedicated to those doing the real work of changing knowledge-based organizations. Those leading established organizations, who are trying to introduce new skills and teach their organizations to do new things – to “dance” in the words of Rosabeth Moss Kanter. Their organizations depend on their success.
There are too few RIM's, 3M’s, and Proctor & Gamble’s in the world. Enterprises so engaged in innovating and leading their industries that employees focus their collective attention on delivering value for customers rather than surviving the next round of cuts.
Let's explore new approaches and new tools to help organizations adopt, tip toward innovation, toward supporting a brand, toward supporting employment. The economy of the future will belong to countries where enough organizations lead the market and create successive generations of new and compelling products and services. No one country, no one area, no one enterprise can retain its lead in this flat world without aligning work in a new way.
Innovation leaders know their enterprise must be as skilled in aligning the interaction between employees as manufacturing companies were skilled in aligning machined components decades ago. The new enterprise, the knowledge-based enterprise requires overt, but gentle, direction on how employees work together, how they interact around new ideas, and how they support new groups as they seek to innovate and build the future.
This is a forum to discuss, debate, and dissect new ideas and new management techniques for knowledge-oriented enterprises. Above all – a home for practical thoughts. For many can present a strategic plan with compelling graphics and promising projections, here, we few will dialogue on the genuine challenges of guiding the creation and executing the strategy of the future enterprise.
