About this listen
In this episode of the Cosmic Conference series, Marilyn Zakhour unpacks how organizations can thrive by mastering the inherent polarities that define modern leadership. Drawing lessons from iconic case studies, such as Fujifilm and Kodak, Marilyn explores how strategy, structure, and culture can be aligned to build resilient, ambidextrous organizations that navigate complexity with grace.
Tune in to learn:
- Why mastering polarities like exploration vs. exploitation and innovation vs. efficiency is key for organizational resilience.
- How frameworks like Dave Snowden’s Cynefin Framework (link), McKinsey’s 3 Horizons of Growth (link), and Geoffrey Moore’s Zone to Win (link) can guide leaders toward sustainable growth.
- How Gary Pisano’s insights on Innovative Cultures (link) can help create a culture that balances risk-taking with high standards.
- The importance of ambidextrous organizational structures for navigating present demands while preparing for future opportunities.
