It’s a fact, we are living in the ever increase complexity times, as “change agents”, we still want organizations and their leaders to change their mindset so they can better perform within such circumstances.

The new era requires organizations to construct knowledge, not acquire it, and the best way to do that is by learning from peers (other organizations) and not from proxies (consultants). A learning process based in dialogue (not lectures); free flow of ideas; filled with multiple perspectives and with no expert-based solutions.
