New HBR article: Living with Complexity and Link for Free Download
Gokce Sargut and I are working together on the fascinating subject of how organizations can sensibly and strategically cope with the demands of complex situations. One of the papers from our ongoing research project is out in this months' Harvard Business Review. We offer a perspective on why complexity is so hard to deal with (because it has interactive qualities that make outcomes unpredictable) and offer some suggestions on how you might want to manage differently if you are facing a complex situation.
I will be doing a webinar on this topic on September 28 - more on that later.
For the first 100 readers, HBR has offered the opportunity to download the article for free. You can access the free download here:

Growth ambitions, yes. Growth capability? Still working on that…
My colleagues over at the growth practice at consultancy Accenture surveyed some of their largest clients about their growth prospects. The results are in my blog, "ready for growth, but not prepared" over at the Harvard Business Review site. Among the more interesting findings are that the firms all believe growth is important and is back on the agenda, but struggle with finding the right capabilities to support it.
