Initiatives

It is important to involve not only putting all pieces together but also integrating them in such a way that the emergent whole is somehow more than the sum of its parts.

People are complex, businesses are complex, the world is complex. Gaining an interdisciplinary understanding of nonlinearity and a dynamic business ecosystem could be at the tipping point. 

We have to be determined to get better results somehow and it will help us leverage nonlinear logic to understand the business world, try unconventional thinking processes and practices to handle unprecedented complexity, with intention to achieve better outcomes holistically.


Framing insightful questions to see the relationships between parts and the whole: Modern organizations are not just the sum of functional pieces, but an integral whole to maximize their performance. Assume an organization is an interdependent system, every individual or function is a subsystem, Framing the right set of questions helps business leaders and professionals become aware of the other "systems' ' that they interact with and the relationships between these systems.

Systematic inquiries provide better and more accurate understanding of the overall situation and problems, enabling cross-functional communication and collaboration. As all those people, functions, and the organization as a whole are dynamic, keep evolving. The business management can perceive the relationships between parts and the whale; integrate the critical business components to adopt a more modular, multi-layered, and expanded organization.

By understanding the nonlinearity of the business, systematic foresight can be unconstrained by current situations and realized via holistic discipline: Organizations are complex, but fluid, ways of doing business and customer expectations both tend to be more flexible than before in the silo-based industrial age. Organizational management starts to appreciate business attributes such as readiness, ownership, integration, collaboration, customization, and multifaceted partnerships.

If business management is fluent in nonlinear logic and interdisciplinary practices; it’s able to more accurately judge the coming curves and obstacles in the path of business transformation. The business becomes more successful when the corresponding learning curve has a reduced uncertainty to the point where the strategic synergy and structural flexibility can be achieved seamlessly.

Be able to step outside of the organization and adopt different perspectives to gain an in-depth understanding
: Information permeates everywhere, silo has been broken down to a certain degree; functional, geographical, or industrial borders are blurred, somehow. It is a strategic imperative to enforce cross boundary collaboration by navigating across knowledge domains, functional boundaries, geographical territories, or vertical industrial disciplines.

A holistic business management is the integration of interdisciplinary practices with multifaceted methodologies including strategy maps, competitive analysis, customer intelligence, dynamic budgeting/rolling financial forecasts, quality management, performance scorecards, etc, to reach such a state of balance. After capturing a big picture type of holistic view, the strategic goals need to be well planned and thoughtfully renewed to achieve the “art of possible,” business leaders and professionals correspondingly work with multi-sided forms of demand supported by multi-sided platforms to get work down resourcefully and achieve high performance results holistically.

In forward-looking organizations, the business ecosystem has been expanded with deliberate planning. The emerging markets offer particularly fertile ground for developing cross-boundary collaboration opportunities. It is important to involve not only putting all pieces together but also integrating them in such a way that the emergent whole is somehow more than the sum of its parts.
