“He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator.” — Sir Francis Bacon (1625) 1
How can you go about creating the kind of future-fit culture of innovation, agility, and adaptiveness your organisation needs if it’s to thrive in an increasingly uncertain and unpredictable world?
This is the second in a series of six short, free access videos to help you answer that question in ways that work in your unique organisational circumstances. In case you missed it, there’s a link to the first video in the series towards to end of this post.
The videos will be relevant to:

Video 2 - Overcoming fiefdoms, factions, and silos (3 mins 47s)
Over time, different areas in an organisation tend towards entrenched localised perspectives.
This encourages fragmentation, which is the number one organisational barrier to innovation, agility, and adaptiveness.
The video below explores why this happens and how to systemically prevent it.
Previous videos in the series
Video 1 of 6 (1 min 33s) addressed the need to encourage diversity of perspectives whilst avoiding organisational fragmentation. It described how diversity of people’s perspectives, thinking, and outlook is the lifeblood of innovation, agility, and adaptiveness. However, the challenge with diversity is it also significantly increases the risk of misunderstandings, mistakes, and missed opportunities. Video 1 described the nature of the challenge, and its general solution.
