Edge Collection (Agility, Resilience, and Antifragility)
Team Edge
This assessment focuses on team agility, resilience, and antifragility. This may be leveraged by teams and team leaders.
Practice-informed Theory and Theory-driven Practice
The best foundation for success involves integrating practice-informed theory and theory-driven practice into a proven comprehensive framework, combining over five decades of work.
Agility, Resilience, and Antifragility
Agility, resilience, and antifragility are “muscle fibers” constituting a “complexity muscle,” which is exercised and improved using stress. Agility involves reactively embracing stress by adapting. Resilience involves reactively addressing the impact of stress by recovering. Antifragility involves proactively seeking stress and evolving.
Insights, Guidance, and Advice for Impact
This survey reveals practice-based & theory-based compelling insights, actionable & practical no-nonsense guidance, and concrete advice to bolster performance, achieve impactful outcomes, and achieve greater success.
The Edge: Harness the Paradoxical and Flourish in the Age of Entanglement
If recent years have proven anything, it is that reality is too wild, and we are too tame. Given that we can’t domesticate reality, we must rewild ourselves.
In a turbulent world where we can only expect the unexpected, we can no longer embrace a more traditional worldview with yesterday’s orthodoxy but must embrace a more modern worldview and reconceptualize our experience for today’s reality.
This includes reconceptualizing our experience of order and disorder, change and disruption, randomness, uncertainty & risk, crisis, complexity & systems & paradoxical thinking, becoming future-ready & future-fit & future-proof, wicked problems, and much more.
This involves embracing the edge --- leveraging ecosystem thinking to cultivate individuals, teams, enterprises, and ecosystems that embody agility, resilience, and antifragility --- to harness (beyond manage and navigate) the paradoxical and flourish (not only survive but thrive) in the age of entanglement.
These surveys demystify agility, resilience, and antifragility and assess how they are operationalized at the individual, team/community/collective, organization/enterprise, and ecosystem levels as well as reveal insights, guidance, and advice for catalyzing and transforming individuals, teams, enterprises, and ecosystems to achieve greater success.
Ecosystem Thinking
How do we harness, beyond manage and navigate, unprecedented levels of turbulence? How do we flourish, not only survive but thrive, in a world where we can only expect the unexpected?Ecosystem thinking offers a worldview composed of framing pillars, core concepts, foundational principles, and contextual practices.
The framing pillars (5 Es / 5 Cs) of ecosystems express ecosystem thinking conceptually.
- An ecosystem is a configuration of stakeholders in continuous reconfiguration.
- Entrepreneur-ship involves congruence among stakeholders.
- Explorer-ship involves connection among stakeholders.
- An enterprise involves coherence among stakeholders.
- Experience involves continuous calibration with reality.
The foundational principles of ecosystems include entrepreneur-ship using options & experiments and explorer-ship using independence and redundancy.
The contextual practices of ecosystems express ecosystem thinking operationally in a specific context; that is, expressing foundational principles using core concepts in a specific context to create specific practices.
