15 ET 16 OCTOBRE RENCONTRE AVEC LISA FRIEDMAN ET HERMAN GYR A PARIS 


It was really wonderful to see you these past 2 days. So many exquisite ideas!  




Lisa Friedman, Ph.D. and Herman Gyr, Ph.D. are the founders and principals of the Enterprise Development Group, a consulting and training firm specializing in strategy development and implementation for work groups facing complex change. They use the concepts presented in their book to enable those in businesses and institutions to create Dynamic Enterprises—to look courageously and strategically into the future, and to build the responses to what they see into their enterprises as quickly as possible. 
In their training and consulting practices, Friedman and Gyr have worked with companies and institutions across a range of industries, including high tech, healthcare, oil and gas, manufacturing, financial services, insurance, hotels, real estate, universities, fisheries, and the military. Within these groups, they have worked with individual CEO’s or executives, with management teams, and with project and change teams facing a range of business and organizational challenges. This work has included the "harder" business strategy, planning, and change management issues, in conjunction with the frequently needed "softer" side of change—the culture change, team building, conflict resolution, and individual coaching often required to bring the strategy into reality. 
Friedman and Gyr are currently developing the Millennium Strategy Workshops, to enable participants to examine their enterprises from a broader and longer-term perspective.

Cher Carine et Michel,

It was really wonderful to see you these past 2 days. So many exquisite ideas! Lisa and I are both very excited. As I am sitting here on the train typing, she is sitting across from me producing the list of possible opportunities we brainstormed at Versailles a few hours ago.

Here are my best recollections of what I believe we discussed:
1. There should be a singularity of focus to our efforts: "value creation in the information/digital age." This can be accomplished in full alignment with our existing efforts at the SRI Value Lab and
with your current work and seminars.
2. Around that fundamental theme we will undertake a number of specific activities:
Training, e.g. seminars and workshops focused on teaching people how to create maximum value in the information/digital age.
Research, e.g. on aspects of emerging value in the information/ digital age, studying the multi-dimensional nature of value for different customer manifestions, e.g. Anna, Andi, DJ, with a special interest in Syndi and phenomena related to emergent self-organizing
communities such as wiki or open source.
Consulting to implementation of value creation practices and culture in client organizations.

That's it!

How will we get this started?
1. We will join each other's seminars as soon as we can.
2. We will design a test seminar and conduct it together with clients, e.g. in Switzerland. Or one that we conduct in 2 countries at the same time using video (e.g. for expert panel input) followed by real-time local experiential training and exercises.
3. We will develop a set of proposals for funding and set up a research activity at SRI's Value Lab.
