Obama

Umair Haque zieht Seven Lessons for Radical Innovators aus Obama, u.a.:

• selbstorganisatorisches Design – “By tapping the game-changing power of self-organization. Obama’s organization was less tall or flat than spherical – a tightly controlled core, surrounded by self-organizing cells of volunteers, donors, contributors, and other participants at the fuzzy edges.”
• Elastizität – “Obama’s 21st century organization was built for a 21st century goal – not to maximize outputs, or minimize inputs, but to remain resilient to turbulence.”
• Minimieren der Strategie – “They didn’t waste resources trying to dominate the news cycle, game the system, strong-arm the party, or out-triangulate competitors’ positions.”
• Maximieren des Sinns – “Obama’s goal wasn’t simply to win an election, garner votes, or run a great campaign. It was larger and more urgent: to change the world.”
