Assembling complexity and changing the game

Creating There

exercise 1

It is 2002. You're planning for a celebration and presentation. You are being interviewed for a feature article in Fortune Magazine. Your enterprise has made remarkable changes over the past few years ... changes that have brought significant value -- not only to the bottom line -- but just as importantly to customers, employees, and vendors. You too, are well satisfied: some of the goals you feared too far reaching (and "soft") have been accomplished. You muse over your interview. What is it you want to say?

• What are you most proud of?
• How do customers, employees, vendors, stockholders interact?
• Success didn't come easy; there were several stumbles along the way. What were they? How did you compensate for them and turn crisis into opportunity?
• You look back 3 years and realize how different your enterprise has become from just a few years ago. What has caused this difference?
• What role did you play?
