A Generative Organization is as fertile ground for autonomous initiative, collaboration, innovation and experiment. As a result, stakeholders adapt rapidly and change their plan for reaching their shared ambition, even if the context changes suddenly and unexpectedly and very complex and unprecedented challenges arise.

“When dealing with a complex, multi-dimensional world, expecting a leader to be able to see the future and show the way may cause more problems than it solves .

The dialogic mindset: leading emergent change in a complex world. Org. development journal, 34:1, 37-65.
