Emerging Governance of Value Creation frameworks and models can make material difference to our performance in organisations, economies and in outcomes for the future of the world.
That may sound like a lot to claim, but consider this…
Theories of electricity don’t change the fundamental laws of physics, but they provide a framework for understanding how electrical systems work. With these theories, we can design and build powerful and high-precision machines—like computers, motors, or power grids—that harness electricity to perform specific tasks. By applying these principles, we can create devices that improve lives, increase efficiency, and enable new technological breakthroughs. In essence, the theory doesn’t change the underlying reality of electricity, but it helps us use that reality in practical, impactful ways. The same idea applies to emerging organizational theories.
Understanding how organizations function—through emerging Governance of Value Creation frameworks covering leadership in uncertainty, decision-making, integrated foresight, integrated practice and integrated planning – and other perspectives —doesn’t alter the basic nature of human behavior or business. However, it helps us design and optimize organizations to function more effectively. It instructs us on what works in the organisation of human labor in a knowledge economy.
Emerging theory gives us the tools to create environments where people can work together more effectively in collective action, where resources are used wisely, and where companies can be better at achieving their purposeful goals.
Just as electrical theory guides the building of machines previous generations would have thought were magic, emerging governance of value creation theory guides the creation of organizations that out-perform expectations.
A small number of organisations are getting it right today… and are massively out-performing the rest.
The power of theory lies in its ability to help us perform logically and consistently at scale – working through complex concepts – to guide simple pragmatic action that makes a difference. Theory allows us to create powerful, effective systems that can make a tangible difference.
We can all out-perform if we learn how to apply the theory in our own worlds.
