🌿 Thought Spark: Waking Up to the Triple Loop of Reinvention 🌿

Image
When I read  3 pillars of creative mindset , I a sense of  resonance and would like to share my Thought Spark to ignite a discussion  Have you ever felt trapped in the cycle of doing — chasing goals, fixing what’s broken, adjusting plans — only to realize you’re still circling the same problem space? This is the dance of single-loop learning: action, reflection, correction. Sometimes we step back and question assumptions — that’s double-loop learning. It’s a powerful shift, opening new pathways and revealing hidden dynamics. But what if the transformation we seek isn’t just about better decisions or revised strategies? What if the real shift begins when we awaken to who we are and why we learn? This is the essence of triple-loop learning: A shift from sense-making to meaning-making. A movement from refining mental models to redefining our identity, purpose, and deeper narratives. DF360 (Digital Foundry 360) embodies this journey — from discipl...

knowledge is dead | wisdom is humanity's greatest strength

Image credit: Ed Morrison When I read the article  knowledge is dead  by John Nosta (Digital Self), it triggered thought spark with resonance, like a vibration in a field.  🧠 Why Wisdom Matters More Than Ever 🌿 Ethical Navigation AI can optimize for efficiency but lacks an intrinsic sense of right and wrong. Wisdom equips us to weigh competing priorities, consider long-term consequences, and make decisions grounded in ethical reasoning. 🌐 Contextual Awareness AI operates on data and algorithms, often missing the subtle nuances of culture, emotion, and human complexity. Wisdom, rooted in lived experience and social understanding, sees beyond data points. 🔍 Sensemaking & Meaning While AI can provide insights, it can’t generate meaningful interpretations. Wisdom helps us navigate not just what’s happening, but why it matters—and how it connects to a broader human story. ⚙️ Adaptive Intelligence In the face of constant change, wisdom allows us to balance l...

Personal Reflection: Navigating Recovery Through a Singular Focus

Image
Naval Ravikant's quote, "A healthy man wants a thousand things, a sick man only wants one," resonates deeply with me as I reflect on my journey over the past year. Before my surgery and neurological setbacks, life was a complex web of ambitions, responsibilities, and distractions. I chased goals in business, family, social connections, and personal growth—constantly juggling a thousand things. But when faced with a Grade 2 meningioma, the ground beneath me shifted. Suddenly, the only thing that mattered was recovery—restoring the ability to move freely, to walk without stiffness, to feel the earth beneath my feet again. This journey has been both humbling and enlightening. It taught me that health is the silent enabler of all our dreams and ambitions. When it falters, our focus narrows to one primal need: to heal. To reclaim strength. To restore wholeness. In that singular focus, I've found resilience I never knew I had. Now, as I look forward to my follow...

Concept Ed Morrison (Strategic Doing) Oliver Ding (Object–Objective Fit)

Image
Conceptual Bridge: Ed vs. Oliver Core Idea Strategy as a learning process grounded in action Strategic fit between what we are (Object) and what we aim for (Objective) Anchor Philosophy John Dewey’s Ends-in-View—provisional outcomes revised through doing Activity Theory + Anticipatory Systems—future is co-shaped by evolving object and discovered objective Nature of Goals Hypotheses that evolve (Outcome v.1, v.2…) Possible Objectives that emerge through exploration Process Experiment → Reflect → Adapt Evolve Object → Discover Fit → Align with Objective Mindset Pragmatic, participatory, action-oriented Reflective, iterative, sensemaking-driven Visual Language Journey with evolving outcome markers Object evolving through opportunity discovery into a strategic fit What Unites Them? Both embrace uncertainty: Outcomes and objectives are not fixed—they emerge through action. Both emphasize adaptive learning: Reality is co-constructed, not predicted. Both highlight the need for col...
