An evidence-based framework for understanding the ambiguous context of innovation. Acting in Ambiguity – Collaborating through uncertainty.

 

Wanted: Ambiguity Activists

Today’s challenge: Many people find it difficult to let go of the familiar and to embrace the unknown; to look forward instead of backward. Combined with a pressing urgency to find new solutions, the uncertainty of unfamiliar situations can trigger anxiety which blocks creative potential and prevents genuinely disruptive solutions from emerging. More symptoms of this growing fear include denial of the need for change, stagnation, aimless actionism, or lack of decision-making

BECOME AN AMBIGUITY ACTIVIST

  • What are my personal preferences in ambiguity?

  • How do I identify ambiguity?

  • Which tools, skills, and mindset support me to master uncertainty?

 
“What if rather than being disheartened by the ambiguity, the uncertainty of life, we accepted it and relaxed into it?
– Pema Chödrön”
 
 
 
 

Creating the new requires courage and risk.

When we are able to see ambiguity as an opportunity, rather than something to avoid, we are better prepared to successfully navigate it.

Transformation is only possible in ambiguity.

Ambiguity isn’t going anywhere. It’s here to stay; it’s the new normal. We can’t change that. But we CAN change our response to the ambiguity, how we handle it, and use it to our advantage. Certainty is not the playground of disruption, only ambiguity can bring forth innovation. No one creates new things without courage and risk. When we finally see ambiguity as an opportunity, not something to avoid, we can successfully navigate it. Working in ambiguity demands an extra pinch of courage, imagination, and co-creativity.

 
“Ambiguity requires us to think in novel ways about how to find, frame, and solve problems. ”
