Leadership and Management Skills for Today’s Complex Markets

Leadership and Management Skills for Today’s Complex Markets

There is so much talk about Leadership these days. It’s ironic when there are so few examples of effective Leaders. It does make sense though, because people have the intuition that Leadership is really key when it comes to moving out of a crisis. The urgent question here is, what is the context for leadership?

Competitiveness at National Level – Lepore Unleashed

Today’s post is by our Founder Dr. Domenico Lepore, based on the speech he was asked to give about ‘Competitiveness at National Level’ at the Horasis Global Forum last week.  There is a very long “Laundry List” of elements at play in creating competitiveness for a Nation: from Education to Healthcare, from Transparency to Cybersecurity, […]

Executive Education: Updating for the Age of Complexity

Executive Education: Updating for the Age of Complexity

  Executives today must be able to understand how things interdepend and evolve in order to navigate complexity.  Current Executive Education provided by the business degrees and  MBAs on offer are not providing adequate knowledge, methods and tools.  We already propose a full operational solution for organizational design for complexity (see ‘The Organization as a […]

The Dangers of Linear Thinking in a World of Complexity

The Dangers of Linear Thinking in a World of Complexity

One of the hardest challenges that we must face to survive and thrive in the digital age is changing the way we think. Linear thinking has served humanity well. Being rational, after all, allowed us to emerge from the dark ages and the realm of superstition. We can thank René Descartes for providing us with […]

Silos – Overcoming the Enemy of Digital Transformation

Silos – Overcoming the Enemy of Digital Transformation

If organizations need to learn anything today it’s how to overcome silos. Silos are the number one enemy of productivity and competitiveness, especially in digital transformation. They also seriously threaten the quality of life of employees. An article by  former Navy Seal Chris Fussell ‘The battlefield experience that made me realize the danger of silos and isolated […]

How Businesses Can Make the World Better – Whole System Transformation

How Businesses Can Make the World Better – Whole System Transformation

People struggle to understand big systems, such as nations and alliances. It’s just too big and complicated (what better proof than U.K. citizens voting to leave the European Union.) So they try to break things down into simpler pieces, build walls and set up barriers (silos, fiefdoms, departments). Unfortunately, that just doesn’t work. Why? The […]

Borders, Tariffs and Brexit – Misunderstanding Complexity

Borders, Tariffs and Brexit – Misunderstanding Complexity

Wherever you live and whether you care or not about the UK staying in or exiting the European Union (EU), the result of Brexit in eight month’s time will affect you. The same goes for any Trade Wars sparked through new tariffs. Why? Firstly, because we live in a highly interdependent and therefore complex world […]

Biggest Challenge? Not Technology but the Organization Design

Biggest Challenge? Not Technology but the Organization Design

It was voiced clearly in a presentation yesterday by the CEO of a forward-thinking digital solutions provider in Italy, Stefano Righetti of Hyphen-Italia. The truth is this: no company will be able do without Digital Transformation, at least for its core processes. […]

Bulldoze Business Schools? A New Systemic Curriculum for Complexity in Business and Management

Bulldoze Business Schools? A New Systemic Curriculum for Complexity in Business and Management

Our business world is changing rapidly. Complexity dominates and old solutions no longer work. Some refer to this as the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’. Given all these changes, it is remarkable to see that MBAs are offering much the same program content as 20 years ago. A Professor in the UK has gone as far as […]

Managing as a Whole System – A New Learning Path

Managing as a Whole System – A New Learning Path

Most organizations (and business schools) are lagging behind the times as they still work in silos, missing completely the challenge and opportunity of the complexity that now dominates our world. We need to manage organizations as whole systems. Those who don’t know what that entails need to catch on, catch up and embrace a new […]
