This is exactly why we wanted to run Working the Edges with @CreativeHQ to get people thinking and experimenting in a more strategic way. It was our last session today and an enjoyable one. Thanks to everyone who attended a across the year and CHQ and WCC who made it possible.
Interesting downside of lean startups, they get biased towards running very specific experiments: fast ones with easily measured outcomes. Startups using lean methods are thus LESS likely to engage in innovation & strategic leaps which can’t be tested fast papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

such great responses here already. Am deeply embedded in these practices and agree with most; these disciplines are intentionally not precision-nested, they thrive in entangled convergence and collective-ness, and the most moving works often bring all three together in one place.

And to throw Transition visioning into the mix - that is specifically focused on envisioning desirable futures, through the aforementioned approaches. Which for context is where my own research sits.
