Diane Neuhauser creates a bridge from the best scholarly research to business, offering new ways to create competitive advantage through easy-to-follow action points. She deftly interprets and blends the work of respected researchers in the fields of complexity, dialogue, leadership, behavioral psychology, as well as strategic planning, with her own unique experiences. The result is a startlingly fresh approach to creating strategic momentum, solving 'wicked' problems, and building a powerfully agile company. "How Do You Know That - A Whole New Playbook for Making Strategy Happen" offers a new way for organizations to plan strategically that takes into account the complexity of our current world, replacing at least part of the traditional approaches for strategic planning that are no longer successful. This new process requires us to learn together, to find the right level for analysis, and to practice, so that we are effective when confronting complex problems. There is significant evidence that the failure of at least 70% of corporate strategic change initiatives stems from mental models that no longer work well due to the high complexity of the problems encountered. "How Do You Know That" is a primer for changing those obsolete mental models, a first step to begin the practice of complex dialogue. Complexity is not for everyone, but in any company, there is a core of people who will relish it. Right now, they are probably frustrated, because they lack a framework to pull together their ideas to contribute to the company. For a CEO, these employees are one path to sustained competitive advantage, but they can't do it without the right tools. Here, they will find a way to analyze when an issue is complex, and when simple solutions are needed. Here, they will learn a whole new approach to dealing with strategic complexity, and to creating a new source of competitive advantage.
