The Emergent Approach to Strategy with Peter Compo: A Deep Dive into Adaptive Systems In this episode, we welcome Peter Compo, author of 'The Emergent Approach to Strategy,' to discuss the chronic failures in strategic planning and how his new book aims to redefine strategy through the lens of complex adaptive systems. Peter explains the importance of moving away from traditional planning methods and embracing an agile, emergent approach that focuses on adaptability and real-time guidance. Drawing from 25 years of experience in corporate America, including his tenure at DuPont, Peter provides practical insights into how organizations can raise their probability of success by understanding and addressing the real bottlenecks to achieving aspirations. We explore key concepts from his book, such as the triad of aspirations, bottlenecks, and strategy, and the role of rules and constraints in fostering innovation. With a mix of theory and practical application, this episode is a must-listen for corporate leaders, business strategists, and anyone interested in innovation and strategic planning. 00:00 Introduction to Strategy Failures 01:32 Guest Introduction: Peter Compo 02:06 Elevator Pitch: New Theory of Strategy 07:29 The Role of Discipline in Innovation 07:47 Music and Corporate Strategy 12:46 Challenges in Strategy Execution 14:00 The Misunderstanding of Strategy 17:43 Planning Under Uncertainty 21:30 The Importance of Adaptive Strategy 35:57 Emergent Strategy and Mintzberg's Teachings 36:44 Deliberate vs. Emergent Strategy 37:55 Understanding Strategic Constraints 39:24 Exploring Different Strategic Approaches 41:33 Overview of Strategy Concepts 43:12 Defining Strategy Across Fields 47:18 The Role of Rules in Strategy 52:22 The Triad of Aspiration, Bottleneck, Strategy 01:02:45 Consulting and Real-World Applications 01:07:22 Conclusion and Resources   Link to Frank Barrett's episode “Yes to the Mess” part 1 and 2:    Link to Peter's website:   Link to Peter's Music:   Link to Aidan McCullen for Keynotes, workshops and event MC:   Find us on Substack for Shownotes and competitions: strategy, innovation, complex adaptive systems, Peter Compo, Aidan McCullen, DuPont, emergent approach, strategy definition, corporate strategy, business strategy, adaptive systems, strategy framework, Roger Martin, Michael Porter, Mintzberg, Charlie Parker, jazz improvisation, creativity in strategy, bottleneck, aspirations, goals, execution, discipline in strategy, innovation challenges, long-term planning, organizational change, innovation process, strategic planning, decision making, business leadership, corporate America

Jazz pianist and management professor Frank Barrett tells IdeaCast guest host Jeff Kehoe that jazz can teach leaders why it's important to forgive mistakes that happen as part of exploration and experimentation, as well as the importance of moving beyond problem-solving to embrace an improvisational mindset.

Patience. You've got to have patience. It's not necessary to take every client that comes your way. There are such things as bad fits. As a small business owner and operator, it needs to be a good fit on both sides. And too often, you see people forcing square pegs into round holes. It just leads to pain, discomfort, and bad reviews online. Don't do it. Don't take it just for the sake of taking it. That would be my advice to close. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-inventive-journey/message

Today, Claire is talking with coach and Jazz lover Tunçel Gülsoy about making coaching our own and why it's like Jazz. And Pizza. We talk about Frank Barrett's book about leadership and Jazz - Yes to the Mess  Contact Tunçel through Linked In

The premise of today's book is that nurturing spontaneity, creativity , experimentation, and dynamic synchronization is no longer an optional approach to leadership. It's the only approach. The current velocity of change demands nothing less. It demands paying attention to the mental models, the cultural beliefs and values, the practices and structures that support improvisation. We welcome back the author of: “Yes to the Mess: Surprising Leadership Lessons from Jazz”, Frank Barrett. More about Frank: http://yestothemess.org

How do you cope when faced with complexity and constant change at work? Here's what the world's best leaders and teams do: they improvise. They invent novel responses and take calculated risks without a scripted plan or a safety net that guarantees specific outcomes. They negotiate with each other as they proceed, and they don't dwell on mistakes or stifle each other's ideas. In short, they say “yes to the mess” that is today's hurried, harried, yet enormously innovative and fertile world of work. Today's guest describes how, like skilled jazz players, leaders need to master the art of unlearning, perform and experiment simultaneously, and take turns soloing and supporting each other. And with examples that range from manufacturing to the military to high-tech, he illustrates how organizations must take an inventive approach to crisis management, economic volatility, and all the rapidly evolving realities of our globally connected world. It is a pleasure to welcome the author of: Yes to the Mess: Surprising Leadership Lessons from Jazz, Frank Barrett, welcome to the show. More about Frank here: https://www.yestothemess.org

It sure would be nice if we could all learn to be more effective leaders without making any mistakes. However, while none of us would wish for mistakes, many of us learn the most from past missteps. In this episode, I talk about the value of mistakes and highlight six mistakes that I have made as the host of this show. I discuss the mistakes that I made in starting my first business many years ago and what I learned from these mistakes. I the more recent past, here are the six mistakes that I've made hosting this show: 1) Being too structured I mention the book Yes to the Mess: Surprising Leadership Lessons from Jazz by Frank Barrett that was featured on a recent HBR Ideacast. "If you're not making a mistake, it's a mistake." -Miles Davis One of my mentors once said, "Any strength overused, becomes a liability." 2) Assuming everyone listens the way I do We have listeners on Zune, iTunes, Stitcher, and BlackBerry - and even more places than those. 3) Forgetting the reason behind the goal 4) Driving the agenda myself Upcoming shows on mentoring, lessons from changing companies, and stories about great leaders are all listener suggestions 5) Not sharing enough specific stories I started to turn the corner a bit with episode #48: How to Lead When Someone Is Driving You Nuts 6) Not being engaged with people Why the list of 100 is gone What others mistakes have I made?
