This document discusses the implications of open and connected innovation for organizations and leaders. It notes that new technologies like social media and trends like globalization are driving fundamental cultural and economic changes. This has created a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world. To thrive in this environment, organizations must embrace openness, sharing, diversity and interactivity. Leaders need to practice collaborative, transparent and authentic leadership focused on vision, understanding, clarity and agility. Wirearchical organizational structures that are flexible, dynamic and leverage communities are better suited to the challenges of a networked, Web 2.0 world.
3. It’s a Game Changing New Reality
“The shift from traditional mass
media to a system of horizontal
communication networks organized
around the Internet and wireless
communication has introduced a
multiplicity of communication
patterns,
at the source of a
fundamental cultural
transformation,
as virtually becomes an essential
dimension of our reality.”
