Can knowledge alone prepare us to lead when the unexpected happens? Theory teaches us what to do. But real life doesn’t always follow the textbook. Sometimes the situation is new. You don’t have all the information. You’re under pressure. But you still have to act. Perhaps real development is about turning knowledge into the capability to act with confidence in unfamiliar situations. The Reframe Lab team had a remarkable experience with Mark Kammer and Dynamic Advance Training.

Success doesn’t just reveal what is working. It reveals culture. Who celebrates another team’s success? Who shares credit? Who supports ideas they didn’t create? Who becomes uncomfortable when others gain visibility? High-performing organisations don’t just create winners. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐨. Because when success is celebrated collectively, it stops being an individual achievement. 𝐈𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦. Know your organisation beyond what’s visible.

What if we stopped 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬? Not because development doesn’t matter. But because training may be too narrow for the challenges they now face. You can train someone on a process, tool or methodology. But can you 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭? 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲? 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐲? Those need to be developed through experience, challenge and application.

Are we expecting too much from AI, too soon? Deploy AI today. See results tomorrow. Transform the business next week. But is that realistic? AI isn’t a magic fix. Perhaps real value requires the right problem, the right processes, the right people and time to learn what works. AI can accelerate transformation. But should we really expect miracles?

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬’ 𝐃𝐚𝐲! Today, we celebrate the ones who dare to take the leap. Entrepreneurs are 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤-𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬. They see possibilities where others see problems. They take chances, learn from setbacks, and keep moving forward. No looking back. Just building what’s next!

We’re moving beyond AI that simply analyses data or generates recommendations. 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞, 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥. For sustainability leaders, that creates an interesting possibility: giving an AI agent a clear objective like reducing emissions and enabling it to continuously look for opportunities across the business. The focus shifts from “What can AI tell us?” to “𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐞?” That’s where the next chapter of AI-enabled sustainability gets interesting.

We talk a lot about what AI can create. But perhaps we should also talk about what helped it learn. Books. Art. Music. Research. Code. Decades of human creativity and knowledge. As AI-generated content becomes part of everyday life, should there be a clearer way to acknowledge the human work behind its learning? Or does inspiration become impossible to trace at this scale? Does AI need a new definition of “credit”?

Real learning goes beyond knowledge. You need to understand the task. You need to manage the emotions that come with it. And you need to actually do it.

What does it take to build a culture where experimentation becomes a way of thinking, not just a business tool? On the sidelines of the Open and User Innovation Conference at Harvard, we had the opportunity to connect with Professor Stefan Thomke of Harvard Business School for a short conversation on a subject that has shaped much of his work: 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Stefan’s research has explored how organisations can use experimentation to innovate, learn faster and make better decisions and why some of the world’s most successful companies have made rigorous testing part of how they operate. In this two-minute LSC conversation, Stefan shares some of his thinking on experimentation and introduces his forthcoming book, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭. Stefan is also Faculty Chair of the General Management Program (GMP) at Harvard Business School, where his work reaches senior leaders navigating increasingly complex decisions and transformations. At London Strategy Centre, we value opportunities to bring ideas from leading academics and practitioners into the conversations we have with executives and organisations. The takeaway: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧. #HarvardBusinessSchool #Experimentation #Innovation #Leadership #Strategy

Build new capabilities. But what if you’re solving the wrong problem? The biggest barriers to performance are often the ones you can’t see. Where strategy gets lost between intent and execution. Where decisions stall. Where coordination breaks down. Where systemic constraints are mistaken for individual capability gaps.

Is Human-in-the-Loop enough for AI to succeed in an organisation? Having a human involved is an important safeguard. But if that person is only approving AI recommendations, are they really shaping the outcome? Successful AI adoption perhaps is more than just keeping humans in the loop. It's about ensuring they bring judgement, challenge assumptions and make better decisions. What is your opinion share in comments!
