“Forget the crystal ball and start navigating”

This was the catchy subtitle of a recent interactive session in our Copenhagen digital leadership peer group, where we were joined by management researcher Iben Stjerne and business agility expert Morten Elvang

They introduced us to the emerging concept of open strategy, which led to an interesting conversation on power dynamics, experimentation and essentially how strategy is changing.

A few days later, we did a similar session with our London group, where Morten joined us remotely. Again, stories of how strategies are failing, how strategy processes are often a very big waste of time and how generally strategies are not communicated well filled the room.
