Michael Lissack The Updated Framework for Today’s World
In this updated edition, I maintain our original framework while thor- oughly reimagining its application for today’s world: First , I explore how digital transformation has fundamentally altered the complexity landscape. I examine how technologies like AI, block- chain, and social platforms have created new forms of complexity that didn’t exist when Roos and I wrote the original book. These technologies haven’t simplified our world—they’ve created new dimensions of inter- connection that require even more sophisticated navigation capabilities. Second , I dive deeper into how coherence manifests in digital and hybrid environments. The challenges of creating alignment across dis- tributed teams, virtual spaces, and multicultural contexts require new approaches to coherence-building. The mechanisms that once created shared understanding in physical offices must be reimagined for a world where work crosses boundaries of space, time, and technology. Third , I update our ten guiding principles with fresh examples and applications: • I show how simple guiding principles can scale across global dig- ital enterprises • I explore how mental models are shaped by algorithms and how diverse perspectives become even more crucial in digital spaces • I extend landscape metaphors to digital ecosystems and data territories • I examine how building blocks are reimagined as APIs, micros- ervices, and modular organizational capabilities • I discuss how multiple roles are navigated in an era of portfolio careers and digital identities • I translate the canyon metaphor to digital infrastructure and governance • I explore storytelling in a world of multimedia, social sharing, and generative AI
