‘Leading from the future’, is both a profound change management book and a wonderful vision and calling for all partner ecosystem professionals. Perhaps you have heard of Theory U. It is a groundbreaking framework Otto Scharmer developed to build organizations and ecosystems that can cope with unprecedented change & ensure learning, adaptation, and responsiveness. It is also based on the introduction of a third, Innovation Economy, taking precedence over the Goods and Services Economies that came before. In his table below. He introduces eight dimensions of management and describes how those dimensions shift over the three different economies - goods, services, and innovation. Partner professionals are wise to take note of how important partners and ecosystems are to the emerging epoch of the Innovation Economy. In his book, he talks extensively about the need to invert the firm, which is a common imperative of the platform/ecosystem business model. An inverted firm is continuously looking to its larger ecosystem to find its purpose, place, and priorities as it shifts its mindset from ego-centric to ecosystem-centric. 👉 I have three calls to action for partner professionals as you realize that, given our ecosystem orientation, we are already playing a crucial role in the emergence of the Innovation Economy: 1️⃣ Read this book - Theory U: Leading From the Future as it Emerges. 2️⃣ Expand your career horizons - Partner Ecosystem leaders will become the leading change agents in transforming organizations and ecosystems to thrive in the Innovation Economy. I am deeply inspired by and have dedicated my career to this calling. 3️⃣ Commit to your inner work and the development of your capacity to bring love and consciousness to work. Einstein told us that 'we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.' As individuals we must closely examine our intentions and how we focus our attention to begin to foster the competency of Presencing, which Scharmer points out is needed to bring forth ‘the highest future potential’ in the now. I have made a deep study and transformed my approach to my career leveraging ‘Presencing’ as my primary toolset to bring love and consciousness to work.

Thriving Amid Change: Embracing the Zone to Win Strategy! 🚀 How have you and your organization moved with the times?  Adapting to Change: In today's dynamic landscape, businesses must evolve. Customer needs shift, disruptions occur—leaders must respond. Inner Shifts: Beyond external changes, consider your own beliefs and rules. Recent years marked transformation—a holistic view became essential. A Case in Point: Ms. Arinya Talerngsri, Managing Director and Founder of SEAC, shared an insightful experience. At Stanford, she encountered Professor Geoff Moore, creator of impactful ideas like 'Cross the Chasm' and 'Zone to Win.' His wisdom resonated. The 'Zone to Win' Framework: Moore's strategy, detailed in 'Zone to Win: Organizing to Compete in an Age of Disruption' (2015), highlights four zones: Performance, Productivity, Incubation, and Transformation. Adapting Ideas: Moore didn't stop at his initial ideas. He recognized the change's impact and adjusted. Top ideas, companies, and leaders evolve. Enter the Zone to Win concept. Strategic Evolution: Today, companies need all zones for success. One zone isn't enough. Leaders must invest across all four, rethinking organizational strategies. Reflecting on Learning: In my field—education—constant change is evident. Tech evolves, and innovations come and go. Balancing zones isn't enough; optimizing for now and the future is vital. Balancing the Zones: Moore's advice shifted—now, focus on all zones concurrently. For me and others, this meant: • Sustaining Excellence: The Performance Zone. Core products drive revenue. Constant optimization is a must. • Boosting Efficiency: The Productivity Zone. AI and streamlined operations enhance agility. • Fueling Innovation: The Incubation Zone. Seizing new trends is crucial. • Embracing Transformation: The Transformation Zone. The proactive change ensures thriving. Striking Balance: Overemphasizing one zone hampers progress. Moore's evolved framework aligns with dynamic times. A Comprehensive Approach: Allocate funds, attention, and effort to all four zones. Insights from each empower competitive positioning.

In today's dynamic business landscape, the ability to embrace change and foster innovation is not just advantageous—it's essential for sustainable success. Research consistently shows that organizations that innovate and adapt quickly are more likely to thrive in competitive markets. According to a study by McKinsey, companies that prioritize innovation not only outperform their peers but also see higher employee satisfaction and retention rates. This underscores the importance of fostering a culture that encourages and rewards innovation at every level. In this week’s discussion with Ronsley Vaz, his knowledge on AI is crucial in adapting in the fast-paced world. As a leader, your role in embracing change goes beyond mere adaptation; it involves actively shaping a culture that welcomes new ideas and experiments with different approaches. Take inspiration from leaders who continuously push the boundaries of innovation at Tesla and SpaceX, driving forward-thinking solutions in sustainable energy and space exploration. By encouraging a mindset of continuous improvement and learning from failures, you empower your team to innovate fearlessly. Leading through change requires agility and a forward-looking perspective. By embracing new technologies, exploring emerging trends, and encouraging cross-functional collaboration, you create a fertile ground for innovation to flourish. Remember, the journey towards innovation begins with a willingness to challenge the status quo and explore new possibilities. Let's navigate the future together with courage and creativity. #businessexcellence #culture #leadership #strategy #returnonculture #entrepreneurship #business #futurist #values #future #futureofwork #raelbricker #futureofculture #professionalspeaking #purpose #management #podcastlife EP: https://postly.click/P9_

Okay, let's spill the code on Innovation gone wrong – because we've all been there. Picture this: you're burning the midnight oil, juggling a mountain of tasks, and in strolls that one leader who thinks they're the mastermind behind every groundbreaking idea. Cue the eye rolls and internal screams. "Come on, dazzle me with your genius ideas! When can I claim credit for them?" Sound familiar? Deep breaths, folks. Flash forward to a wiser, more battle-scarred version of me, armed with insights from the leadership trenches. It turns out that Innovation isn't reserved for startups. Nope, even the medium and big dogs need to get their innovation game on. No matter how stellar your value propositions and business models are, they have an expiration date. And here's the kicker – Innovation and leadership are like a power couple. Without the right processes, structure, and culture, that farewell party you're planning for your frustrated innovator is actually a send-off for your future disruptor. Looking back, we clearly missed the memo on balancing business as usual and exploring new ideas. We fell for the myths: 🚫 Innovation needs a full-blown business plan and KPIs from day one. 🚫Every idea is a winner (spoiler: they're not). 🚫Seniority equals priority in the idea department. 🚫Transparency and evidence? Nah, that's just for startups and their investors. Here's the truth: Innovation and business, as usual, can coexist, but it takes savvy leadership skills and practices along with organisational design to make it happen. Hindsight may be 20/20, but we need more in today's 4.0 world. Enter Innovation Leadership with 20/20 Plus vision – a blend of hindsight and fresh insights to fuel future growth in your already successful businesses. Let's ditch the misconceptions, embrace the chaos, and lead the charge into an innovative future.

Is traditional strategic planning dead? In a world where 72% of innovative companies are outstripping their competitors in revenue growth, it's time to question the status quo. 🚀 Traditional models are being disrupted, and here's how: 1. **Blue Ocean Strategy**: Forget fighting over the same customers. The real winners are those creating new markets where competition is irrelevant. Sounds like a fantasy? It's not, but it requires boldness that many lack. 2. **The Ansoff Matrix**: While revered, it's increasingly seen as too simplistic in today’s complex digital ecosystem. Are we clinging to outdated models because we're afraid of what true innovation demands? 3. **Porter’s Generic Strategies**: Cost leadership or differentiation? In the age of rapid technological change, this binary choice feels antiquated. Today's market demands agility and multifaceted strategies. 4. **The Lean Startup Approach**: Praised for its forward-thinking, yet many traditionalists see it as a risky gamble. But let's face it, the biggest risk is stagnation. 5. **McKinsey’s Three Horizons of Growth**: A brilliant framework, yet often misapplied by leaders who don't genuinely invest in long-term innovation because their focus is tethered to short-term gains. The harsh truth? These models challenge the conventional, comfort-zone dwelling leadership. They demand not just strategic thinking but strategic courage. Let's debate. Are these models the future, or just a fad? #Innovation #LeadershipControversy #StrategicPlanning"
