Here’s how our Grandfather’s created wealth

Our Grandchildren’s economy is emerging... Who makes the iPhone? A network led by Apple

We are in the midst of a profound shift from our Grandfather’s economy to our Grandchildren’s economy. Second Curve: Wealth driven by networks and connections
Most of us were born somewhere in here First Curve: Wealth driven by hierarchical control Source: Ed Morrison

Our Grandfather’s education system does not work well for our Grandchildren’s economy...We need new ways to think and act strategically. That’s what today is all about... 70% to 80% of the jobs are above the line 20% to 30% of young people stay above the line

No easy way for the working poor to escape
20% to 30% of the jobs are below the line 70% to 80% of young people fall below the line
Traditional strategic planning evolved to handle the complexities of managing large hierarchies...like the military and Fortune 500 companies in out Grandfather’s economy

Traditional strategic planning evolved to handle the complexities of managing large hierarchies...like the military and Fortune 500 companies in out Grandfather’s economy A small group at the top did the thinking
A larger group at the bottom did the doing
Thursday, October 15, 2009
As organizations have become more networked, older strategic planning models do not work so well. The reason: There is no top or bottom to a network.
Thursday, October 15, 2009
When we move toward networks, we need new approaches to strategy...where there is no separation of thinking from doing
Thursday, October 15, 2009
Strategic Doing is a discipline to enable teams of people to do detailed projects in these open networks
