Organizing for Agility, Disruption, and Resilience. Traditional (linear) strategic thinking and execution has become ineffective. Instead, companies need to formulate and effectuate strategies that allow them the flexibility to deal with unexpected and unpredictable changes in their environments. Ecosystem thinking enables strategists to build agile organizations that are ready to not only benefit in the present, but also be prepared for an unexpected future or, more ambitiously, to create the very future that makes current capabilities obsolete. The VU Knowledge Hub for Ecosystems is a community of researchers centered around advancing knowledge on these ecosystems of organizations.
