The goal is not to instigate a revolution but to seed in capabilities important to the future
Digital safaris Proximity primes learning. Entrepreneurs in Taiwan, because of their geographic proximity, see the impetus of going digital beyond what the western world has experienced. They see both the opportunity and the pressure to innovate beyond the status quo. That’s why field trips or learning expeditions can be powerful prompts for senior executives. In today’s environment, you can easily arrange a Zoom visit. I myself have arranged a number of ‘digital safaris’ for executives. These virtual expeditions are most effective when they let us interact, discuss, and converse with people other than those we’re familiar with. They break our usual mental routines. But these visits are not unstructured dialogues. They can be very focused conversations on topics executives have identified beforehand. After they’ve acquired the external perspective, they then reflect on what they can do by themselves within the control span that they have. The goal is not to instigate a revolution, but to try new activities as a learning community and to seed in capabilities important to the future.
