The purpose of the video is to draw on content contained in the CSMasterclass ain order to introduce you to some concepts of strategy yiuy may not be overly familiar with, but nonetheless, are essential components of Third Wave Strategy - the underlying platform for the coursework and strategy practices fit for this era of great uncertainty, disruption and complexity.

An overview of Organisational Learning as an Eco System - a support commentary to the webinar posted separately. In this podcast specific elements of organisational learning are discussed. the main message however is:

1. We make a distinction between individual and organisational learning. When Peter Senge talking about systems thinking as the only form of sustainable competitive advantage for example:

• it wasn’t about how many MBA’s a corporation employs, rather
• it was about ways the collective decision makers in a corporation could collaborate to build a momentum to allow a corporation to survive.

2. Because of that, it is our view that the derived synergies from such a collaboration learning suggest that one can only thrive when closely engaged with the other to the extent that strategy could become a part of an organisational learning function, and

3. That collaboration could then provide the knowledge and momentum for corporations to continually transform and renew. That is a fundamental and essential component of an organisations capacity to thrive.

Strategy as an integration of Social and Technical trajectories

This is a copy of the second live webinar that makes up a series covering topics drawn from the book, The Corporation of the Future. Based on Chapter 3 of the book, the conversation is grounded in the observation that increasingly, the lines once drawn between social norms and technological capabilities are blurring. It occurs as a phenomenon the Strategic Management Institute refers to as 'socionology'.

Socionology is witnessed in practice whereby societal change is:
• a deliberate, or sometimes accidental outcome from enabling technology, and conversely,
• initiated by the acts of influencers who use technological platform to promote change.

Increasingly it has become apparent that the reliance of one aspect of technology, Artificial Intelligence, has brought each component of socionology even closer.

Scant research has been undertaken into the role of the Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), that is, the determination of what a CSO does. As specialists in strategy practice, the Strategic Management Institute (SMI), the research arm of Paul Hunter Strategy and Leadership has evolved a representation of the role. It is based on raw experience in the field, empirical research, and conclusions drawn from corporate strategy specific publications. Our derived description of the role is presented in this video, as is a response to the question: “How does the SMI’s definition of the role of the CSO compare with actual demand? To draw a comparison an analysis of CSO position descriptions drawn from LinkedIn advertisements in Australia, London, New York and San Francisco were reviewed and conclusions drawn. It will be a surprise for many to learn that one critical component of the CSO’s role is missing from formal job descriptions, even though its existence is vital to the long-term survival of many corporations.

High potential executives (high pots) can be found in every corporation. Their presence, although generally overt is valued. So much so, they are feted with personal development opportunities that may ultimately include a sponsored stint at an international business school. While this is good for the individual, its overall value to the corporation is questionable. That is because individual learning is different to organisational learning, and it is the organisation that is required to wait. By making high pots strategy whisperers, i.e., awarding them a greater involvement in corporate strategy, the outcome will likely light the fuse of an organisational learning capability that will commence immediately and last for all time.
