A philosopher’s guide to messy transformations

Embark on a journey through the labyrinth of philosophical thought, exploring the complex nature of messy transformations. Uncover the wisdom of great thinkers as they grapple with the chaos of change, and find enlightenment in the disorder of transformation.

The messy middle

The unknown, uncertain space between past and future, between theory and practice, that characterizes organizations in the process of becoming something new.

Wisdom

To find wisdom in something that is new to everyone, like digital transformation, leaders sometimes look for inspiration among thought leaders who are discovering new ways of thinking and talking about transformation rather than teaching existing theories

Prudence

In prudence (good judgment), people depend on neither theoretical frameworks nor translation of basic principles to make sense of complexity

Expertise

People base their understanding of transformation on practical insight into the history and culture of the company.
