The rate of change throughout the world is increasing, which creates chaos, threats, and opportunities. Even regions that were once remote are now connected in a growing global communications and information web. Welcome to the Age of Knowledge, where disruptive technologies may arise at any time, from anywhere. Think Uber, Airbnb, and others. In the Age of Knowledge information and technology are easy to acquire and it doesn't take a large infrastructure and organization to manifest capabilities that disrupt and transform even established markets. All it takes is an idea, some talent, and the initiative to birth the idea. As technology becomes increasingly easy to use and access to networks and bandwidth expands, disruptive technology can come from anywhere at any time.Thrive in the Age of Knowledge is a practitioner's guide to understand a complex and rapidly changing chaotic environment and transforming to thrive within it. It provides actionable ideas and capabilities to help people and organizations understand the Age of Knowledge and move beyond simply surviving the chaos to transforming themselves and their environment and thriving. Key new concepts include Revolutionary Learning Organizations and "Plexecution". Organizations continually learn and go beyond "adapting" to transforming. They continually plan and execute and learn from the changes they create in the environment and the changes they detect in a continuous sensing of the environment through open filters.The Age of Knowledge is significantly different than the Information Age or the Industrial Age and the skills required to adapt and to thrive are significantly different. We've seen change and chaos before, but never on this magnitude and impact. Skills and tools that worked in the Information Age may be all but useless in the Age of Knowledge and may even hinder people's and organizations' ability to transform and to thrive in this new environment. Continuous learning and cognitive integration throughout an organization are vital to thriving. Effective organizations will build a culture based on trust and learning and invest in cognitive capabilities for both the people in the organization as well as the organization itself. This means a new approach to organizational learning that is revolutionary rather than adaptive and includes Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning. The organization must develop a strong cognitive foundation that helps it to see emerging trends and proactively shape them.This book is organized into several sections designed to help you understand and master the aspects of the Age of Knowledge and then develop the skills to thrive in it. You can read the parts or chapters in any order that makes sense to you. The book is heavily cross-referenced to provide navigation to the material you may have skipped or want to review.Part I The Age of KnowledgePart II Understanding the Environment and DataPart III Knowledge EnablementPart IV Learning Enablement ServicePart V Cognitive FoundationPart VI Strategic and Operational PlanningPart VII ExecutionPart VIII Mission Service ManagementPart IX LeadershipParts II-V provide the tools and capabilities to enable Parts VI-VIII. The final part, Leadership, provide some leadership considerations and tools to manage the integration and the execution of all components. These sections help to build the Cognitive Foundation.Each part consists of several chapters that provide foundational concepts and a final chapter that ties them together and provides a capability design. Each chapter has several Critical Thinking Notes that help you to relate the concepts to your own organization and ends with a practical exercise to help you crystalize your understanding of the concepts in the chapter and apply them to a practical situation.The thread that ties these parts together is leadership, culture, and critical thinking.
