Great overseer leaders know how to carry themselves in most contexts, apply interdisciplinary knowledge to understand issues; and take collaborative efforts to improve problem-solving competency.
To survive the fierce competition and thrive with the long-term business advantage, holistic oversight is crucial to identify crucial problems, strengthen the weakest link in business management, laser focus on the most critical perspectives in order to steer the business in the right direction, and ensure business success in the long run.
It takes holistic oversight to fix the misperception by exploring multiple thought processes, broadening the perspective of understanding problems from different angles: The digital business today is not only just working within the industry, but also permeating a cross-ecosystem which is dynamic, and interactive. If there's a lack of quality information and holistic understanding, the business intends to fix symptoms but cause more problems later on or perhaps on the other side of the company. Thus, holistic overseers are in demand to capture the bigger picture, see both the forest and the trees, ask insightful questions: What is the bigger picture here? How is your current problem/goal related to the bigger problems or greater context? Behind every problem is a relationship dynamic out of alignment. It takes a holistic view, calls for systems thinking to understand and handle issues from different angles, and encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration for problem-solving.
Holistic thinking involves understanding a business system by sensing its large-scale patterns and addressing the big picture. To understand the digital business or the world as a complex adaptive system requires an understanding of how the things have come together, being 'built,” as well as how to leverage the holistic view to integrate and innovate, to solve chains of problems smoothly. It takes an outlier's lens to criticize the business management by questioning wisely and bringing up holistic perspectives continually. Doing this will definitely pay huge dividends.
Both businesses and the world become over-complex, hyper-connected, extremely uncertain and ambiguous than ever. If the situation is very natural and fluid, with a lot of inter-dependencies, the effectiveness of strategic decision making has to weigh in multiple factors and needs to search for profound understanding; insightful overseers can sense emergent opportunities and predict potential risks, oversee the business management discipline effectively, seek out knowledge, gain an in-depth understanding of issues or people, address people’s ignorance and assumptions, in order to solve problems in a structural way based on coherent information, technical expertise, and skillful problem-solvers.
In order to clarify interdisciplinary logic, abundant information needs to be refined to fresh knowledge recategorized to meet personalized demands and captured into unique insight. Interdisciplinary logic is nonlinear to deepen understanding of the dynamic business ecosystem, causation and correlations of complex issues, discovering patterns and dealing with opposing views, cultures, constraints, and competitions. An interdisciplinary overseer can advise business management wisely, set policies good enough to encourage innovation and change, and monitor the company performance holistically;
The digital business dynamic is full of uncertainty, velocity, complexity, ambiguity, fierce competitions, and continuous disruptions, the enterprises are inherently and intensely complicated. Often, changes or problems do not happen in isolation from each other in predictable ways. Great overseer leaders know how to carry themselves in most contexts, apply interdisciplinarity view to understand issues; shape an “inclusive mindset,” always look for capabilities they don’t have so that they can build a winning team with complementary mindset and competencies, and take collaborative efforts to improve problem-solving competency.
