Earlier this year I had the opportunity to write a so called ‘perspective’ for People & Strategy. The fun part about this is that my point of view gets countered by 4 other authors. In my particular case, those were 4 people whom I respect enormously, so you can imagine how honored I was when all four of them agreed to counter my perspective.
Social architecture, the subject of this Lead Perspective, sets the stage for how companies can effectively navigate large-scale systems transformation.
- Daryl Conner, whose writing has shaped the thinking of consultants and leaders globally, builds on the Lead Perspective, noting the significance of this point in time.
- Jennifer Frahm weighs in from Australia, reminding us we still have a long way to go.
- Holger Nauheimer, from Germany, places social architecture in the broader context of history, technical change and leadership.
- Finally, Peter Vermeulen, (at that time) from Johnson & Johnson, shares with us a view from inside a large global corporation.
