Initiatives

Interdisciplinary science can be applied to management by integrating methodologies & technologies, enabling people to frame bigger thinking boxes, and achieve high performance results by taking the multi-faceted approach, technically, scientifically and culturally.

Abundant information, along with the unprecedented convenience brought by technology opens a new chapter of human progress. Organizations couldn’t predict the future with a certain degree of accuracy, but the rate of change has accelerated, indicating that business leaders must learn how to strike a balance between managing complex issues today and predicting the uncertain issues of tomorrow.

So applying an interdisciplinary management approach to harness change, spur innovation, and fine-tune a holistic innovation is at the tipping point for the paradigm shift.

It takes interdisciplinary expertise and cross-functional communication and collaboration to manage large scale changes: Enterprises are inherently complicated and change happens intensely, these changes do not happen in isolation from each other in predictable ways. Organizations need to deal with overwhelming information, constant ambiguity, and uncertainty. Interdisciplinary science can be applied to management with integrated methodology through across-disciplinary collaboration. Organizational management should demonstrate both business acumen and technical knowledge, get to understand the whole meaning of functional dialects and business dynamics, and take interdisciplinary management to lead business change forward smoothly.

The digital convergence of devices and services are creating new revenue sources as most companies across industries are being forced to become the information management business. However, information is outdated sooner than what you thought about; today’s businesses have to deal with information with both technology and human know-how, then to convert the information into invaluable knowledge and precious insight in handling business uncertainty effectively. The business management processes need to be dynamic, robust to keep businesses flow, harness cross boundary communication to drive changes, and ensure the business as a whole is more than the sum of its parts.

It takes interdisciplinary knowledge and experiences to connect unconventional dots, promote a healthy climate for innovation: Many organizations get stagnated due to stale knowledge, change inertia, or dysfunctional business systems. It is important to shape the bigger, much bigger box of understanding, interactions for spurring new ideas at the different levels of the organizational hierarchy. Cross-pollinating ideas, collaborating and sharing are what spurs innovation. Doubts about what you see at any given time propel you towards finding other things that haven't been observed yet, in order to capture new perspectives and gain an interdisciplinary understanding.

Innovative workforce can be developed through appreciating different viewpoints, enhancing interdisciplinary understanding, strengthening team effort, and more importantly, team coordination. Business leaders should inspire team members to create a portfolio of new ideas, concepts, and scenarios, develop critical thinking and creativity, and coach team members on interdisciplinary management practices to achieve innovation success. In practice, it's important to create the space for innovation dialogues about purposes, methodologies or practices, developing a common understanding, creating the necessity and motivation, and orchestrating a broader spectrum of innovations.

It takes an interdisciplinary management approach to orchestrate a holistic business ecosystem, as an evolutionary step to harmonize global society: Companies today need to understand the dynamic competitive landscape, proactively look for ecosystem partners that can help the business succeed, and orchestrate a broader interdependent business ecosystem. Far-sighted organizations will always be seeking and embracing the influences, riding ahead of learning curves and expanding their ecosystem via deliberate planning, growing, innovating, constantly.

To effectively respond to the new dynamic, the organization needs to awaken the ecosystem consciousness, start thinking about ways for adapting to their ecosystems and create new revenue streams. People can grow, treat customers, channel partners, suppliers as industry ecosystem participants to create and co-solve tough problems. First, gain the cross disciplinary knowledge necessary to understand and manage holistic digital ecosystems. Secondly, understand how to find the right leverage points, apply an interdisciplinary approach to manage such a hyperconnected, interdependent business system smoothly.

Understanding that real-world development is multifaceted; you can't expect an individual to fully develop such broad-based concepts. It requires fundamentally multidimensional thinking and interdisciplinarity to run contemporary businesses and modern society. Interdisciplinary science can be applied to management by integrating methodologies & technologies, enabling people to frame bigger thinking boxes, and achieve high performance results by taking the multi-faceted approach, technically, scientifically and culturally.
