Leaders today face a unique challenge
Leaders today need to change their thinking and mindset and embrace complexity. They need to recognize that linear thinking models are not effective in solving complex, real-world problems and adopt an emergent solutioning mindset that values experimentation, learning, and adaptation.

Exploring Solutions Amidst Uncertainty and Complexity
If the best laid plans are as flimsy as the roll of a die in the face of time and future uncertainty, and there is no such thing as a “sure-win” general solution, what then can we do?

The Illusion of Making Plans
At the heart of planning is the assumption that events occur in a linear predictable fashion. But life is never linear nor predictable.

The Paradoxical Truth About Problem Solving
Problem solving inherently creates more problems to be solved. Trying to solve a problem is paradoxically itself a problem to be solved where trying to implement possible solutions to the problem also creates new problems to be solved. This vicious spiral of doom is created when we only focus on the problem. It is akin…

The Root Cause Myth
Problem solving often starts by trying to discover the root cause of the problem such as the “5 Whys” method for root cause analysis. The “5 Whys” method which originated from the Toyota Production System, developed by Taiichi Ono in the 1950s is about trying to analyse the underlying reason causing a problem by iteratively…
