This is a great example of how to work in complex environments. This systemic approach is defined in ‘Validating Strategies', joining-up the public and private organisations. Creating ‘True’ strategies that answer; what do customers (citizens and communities) want to ‘do’.
Very few community benefits can be achieved through a single agency, collaborations are essential. These are often complex and to succeed the complexity needs to be recognised and simple rules adopted.
The OpenStrategies approach recognizes that ‘anyone can design a complicated strategy system but a good designer will develop a simple one’. The resulting OpenStrategies’ system is compellingly simple yet powerful, even for very complex, large scale strategies. Crucially, OpenStrategies doesn’t just underpin the design of strategies – it also guides their validation and implementation.
OpenStrategies gives you a validated strategy with a rationale AND an Action Plan.
The founding challenge “If it is possible to use open source paradigms and processes to write software, then is it possible to use open source paradigms and processes to develop strategies?”. Validating Strategies shows that adopting these paradigms will improve wealth creating for the 21st century organisations and their communities.
