Creative
abrasion as a leadership concept
So in the past we talked about creative abrasion from a cognitive point of view, I’m suggesting we now start thinking about creative abrasion as a leadership tool in terms how we architect the processes that cross-cut the different communities of practice. And so with that, let me end by saying what I really see us up to now, is now looking at how to shift our focus on techniques. |
| In the past, you might have
been thinking about techniques that support a relatively mechanistic view
of the firm.
Now we want to look at this notion of how you build the kind of techniques that support the knowledge ecologies of the firm, eventually knowledge ecologies of the whole industry. But the ecologies have structure and have spontaneity. But how do we think about techniques and technologies to do that? Perhaps now, by looking back and thinking how do we build work-scapes that really help us help each other, as communities of learners, as communities of knowledge workers. So on the one hand, I am someone who believes that the real game being played in the technology arena is how do we build technology that honors and supports the physical and the social, but looks at ways to augment it, not to replace it, but augment it with the virtual. And if we can do that, I think we have a chance to create a work-scape that would have more of a culture of learning. If you have read any of my more recent writings, you’ll know that I am now looking at knowledge and region, such as Silicon Valley, how do you actually think about creating a culture of learning inside a region. And so with that, thank you. |
