"Pulling" Discovery
I suppose the push/pull, exploit/explore, execute/discover contrast is well known to those who live at the intersection of technology and decision making.
If you don't, Dion Hinchcliffe has a fairly painless summary. I'd point you to Tushman (at HBS) also.
I'm a systems engineer and architect involved in large system development. I'm interested in how individuals and organizations transform knowledge into decisions, and how "DNA-level" influences like identity, trust, and values shape sensemaking.
My approach to these topics is grounded in a synthesis of concepts from social psychology, cognitive science, and complexity science. Recent influences include Dave Snowden (Cynefin), Gary Klein (data-frame model), and Karl Weick. Less recent influences are a wide range of writers and researchers in the areas of complex adaptive systems and chaos theory.
