Hello Fellow Strategist,


Is strategy still about keeping secrets close — or is it now about opening up?


How should businesses adapt their strategic processes to thrive in an era of open innovation, collaboration, and crowdsourcing?


That's the hot topic at this week's #stratChat:

"Does the Era of Open Innovation Change How We Do Strategy?"


Open innovation promises faster problem-solving, richer insights, and disruptive growth. But it also raises questions about control, IP protection, and competitive advantage.


Adding to this complexity, modern AI and data-driven systems are accelerating the pace of information sharing and analysis. Businesses can now crowdsource insights globally, detect trends in real time, and collaborate faster than ever before. But with so much data — and increasingly intelligent agents interpreting it — leaders must ask: how do we separate signal from noise, and protect strategic focus while staying open?


Moreover, as businesses increasingly operate not as isolated entities but as parts of broader ecosystems of suppliers, partners, platforms, and even competitors, strategic planning must adapt. Ecosystem thinking demands more openness, flexibility, and co-creation — but also sharper clarity about each organisation's unique value and role.


What's your perspective?


Join the conversation — and connect with fellow strategists, consultants, and C-suite leaders navigating the same challenges.
