Alex Osterwalder from Arvetica has been commenting here at CPH127 before - his work over at Arvetica is highly relevant, not only for Private Banking Professionals, but business in general.
He just published a podcast with John Hagel about how strategy is formulated by most companies, and more interesting, how it should be done when coping with uncertainty and complexity.
Personally I believe that most companies are organized to handle different problems, and thereby also strategy, as is the reality of today. We are shifting away from handling complicated matters to coping with complex problems, and that with a rapidly shift and increase in speed and uncertainty.
I also believe that a shift in mindset is heavily needed. A shift towards a more adaptable mindset, a mindset where each and every individual in the organization sees control as a nice thing, but not needed always, where competencies like intuition and improvisation is highly valued, and where diversity is embraced.
But then again - maybe I’m wrong? What do you think?
