Networks are eating the world

Market leaders don’t design products they design networks. We have entered the fourth industrial revolution in which the digital tools of the computer and telecom revolutions jump their boundaries to connect with physical and biological networks.

Everything could be viewed as a network from your brain to the biosphere and beyond. You are a network. Your community is a network. Your organization is a network. Your stakeholder ecosystem is a network.  The challenge is leaders aren’t trained to see, think and orchestrate in networks. They are trained to lead top-down or bottoms up or both. Next Level Leaders understand that network orchestration and transformation is a science with implementable practices and tools. 

 

“The rise of the network economy is the most under recognized development of the last 30 years” – Kevin Kelly (get actual quote)

It is networks all of the way up and all of the way down
