A deep transformation is taking place across every organization, every region, and every economy. It’s a shift from closed, linear hierarchical thinking to more open, adaptive network thinking.But there’s a problem.We are facing this transformation with outdated tools, frameworks, and mindsets. That’s why we designed #strategicdoing. It’s an open-source discipline for collaboration, open innovation, and ecosystems.ZOOM OUT: LESSONS FROM TOCQUEVILLEHumankind faced this transformation before.In the 1830s. At the dawn of the Industrial Age.And we have a reliable guide to those times: Alexis de Tocqueville, a French lawyer.Tocqueville toured the U.S. in 1834 and packed valuable insights into his book, “Democracy in America”.Among his insights: “The world is altogether new. We need to ask new questions, create new categories.”In other words, we can’t approach our current challenges by looking in the rearview mirror. We need to reflect on our thinking and generate new approaches, new concepts, and new categories. (29,000)
