Edge Collection (Agility, Resilience, and Antifragility)
Enterprise Edge
by Si Alhir
This assessment focuses on organizational or enterprise agility, resilience, and antifragility. This may be leveraged by enterprises and enterprise leaders.
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.
