Evolutionary Provocateur

We talk a lot about agility: Leadership agility, organizational agility, and innovation. Yet unless there is an understanding of how to detect the underlying beliefs of the cultural 'immune' system, progressive successes can fail to be integrated. This month, Dawna speaks with Fred Simon, former project manager with the 1995 Ford Lincoln Continental project as they take a high level and in the trenches look at how this shows up in corporate life. Fred worked for the Ford Motor Company for thirty years, and was a founding member of the Society for Organizational Learning. He has collaborated with Dr. Peter Senge and the late W.Edwards Deming. Fred’s work in organizational learning is about developing more effective leadership, organizational alignment, empowerment and interdependency.
