Exploration as a Core Competency
More on the shift toward IT-catalyzed experimentation from the Sloan Management Review. It's mostly an up-beat take, with hints of COIs, governance, security, and the challenge of integrating the enterprise's Executing Core with its Exploring Edge.
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.
