Employing the Human Creative Instinct
Transitioning from Command & Control to Facilitation of Radical Uniqueness
It is true that, over time, humans have relied more heavily on machines and technological solutions, and people's jobs were destroyed. But it is also true that those people migrated to new jobs that were of better use of their uniquely human abilities.
Are you thinking about how AI or robotics may have bearing on your institution’s operating model, your investments, or your own professional set of responsibilities? You should be.
But rather than being worried that you will become obsolete, consider instead how these technologies may make you more efficient, may free you up to do things you never dreamed possible.
We get to design a world of work that is enabled by, not replaced by technology. But, we get to do that only one way: by enabling radical human uniqueness and creativity.
Before we consider creativity, what are the core axioms of meaningful human contribution?
1.
BEING
Experiencing contribution in the broader world and taking in the richness of it
2.
DOING
Contributing in a manner that increases others’ access to the richness of the world in some way
3.
BECOMING
Ever-increasing capacity to add to the doing of without detriment to the experience of being
Expected Outcomes & Program Opportunities
Understanding rote behaviors of “command ^ control” that inhibit radical creativity and uniqueness
Integrating the need for command and control for yesterday’s success versus supporting new strategies that enable new outcomes in a world with entirely new success measures
Development of brand new models that can interrupt ‘command & control’ bias enabling emergent creativity
Instantiation of values & leadership models that understand creativity and uniqueness as emergent outcomes versus compliance behaviors which are adaptive
Exploration of new use cases for human creativity and uniqueness within a business context
Consideration of change management needs, externalities, and risk mitigation strategies
Okay, I’m interested. What comes next?
Together, we’ll design a bespoke advisory solution to meet your firm’s needs.
This can include detailed feedback on your active business strategies, human resources programs, communication processes, and client engagement protocols.
We’ll offer you hands-on support with implementable tactics, not just strategy, all based on your unique needs.
We’ll provide extensive executive coaching on active strategy & leadership development objectives.
Together, we’ll construct for you a facility of risk-minded leaders, trained to think in terms of complexity, non-linear dynamics, problem internalities, and externalities, in service of higher-order coordination.
