When we started working on the position papers that created an understanding of the crucial relationship between communities of practice and disruptive / radical innovation (see documents) there were hardly any academic or commercial papers on these topics. Even the San Francisco Chronical published a piece on Clayton Christensen (if you still do not have 'the innovator's solution, buy it now) Also, BN net released a new paper the other day, which has some of these elements and (again) they seem to use the action-learning cycle (they called it "learn, focus, align and execute). They say on their website about this 'strategic learning' (though they never come clear on why they put the focus on learning?) paper, which is free of charge: How can established organizations create the capacity for ongoing adaptation? This paper provides a practical leadership process for creating an adaptive enterprise by mobilizing a dynamic cycle of four steps: learn, focus, align and execute.
