Ed Morrison, Advisor for the Purdue Center for Regional Development, says that many of the familiar approaches to management no longer apply, and goes on to provide 7 keys to guiding an open network. I have added my images that support this excellent set of rules.

Rule 1: Form a core team with distributed leadership roles
Rule 2: To accelerate, go slowly at first [AKA: Probe-Sense-Respond]
Rule 3: Find opportunities by linking and leveraging assets
Rule 4: Create coherence with visualizations and outcomes with success metrics
Rule 5: Adopt simple rules to design and implement strategy
Rule 6: Promote transparency, mutual accountability and success metrics
Rule 7: Embrace action and experimentation
I wanted to say “Excellent”.
WP told me the comment was too short and to “Go back and try again”.
So, this is the second attempt.
Community-in-a-box. I run across these amazing college courses in a post every once in awhile. Thanks and wish me luck. ;-)
Thanks for the 7 rules. I crossed paths with Ed in 2011 after applying a shared governance approach to address agro-ecological issues (farming and water quality) and realized I had applied “strategic doing”. The complexity of ag and enviro issues requires the guidelines and the effort naturally gravitated toward them.
Since then, I can see it or see the need for it in many sectors of society.
