Strategic Foundation
Original thinking and source documents that inform this restructure
Purpose of This Planning Hub
A Workshop Utility — Not a Final Answer
This site is a single source of truth for the EOS™ accountability chart exercise. It's built to be:
- Flexible: Move functions between engines, debate placements, simulate scenarios
- Transparent: All thinking visible, all decisions documented
- Collaborative: Sue, Glenn, Sofia, and Chris can all reference and contribute
- Iterative: Update as we learn, refine as we workshop
This is NOT reactive work. The Manifesto and Org Blueprint predate any restructure conversation. This planning hub is simply the tool to refine and execute what Chris has already been thinking through.
How This Fits Into The Process
Source Documents
Leadership Manifesto
Chris's original strategic thinking about WKT's four contexts, the tension framework, and why reorganization was necessary. Written before any restructure conversation began.
- Four Contexts (Competing, Operating, Stabilizing, Inventing)
- Tension as a design tool
- Strategic patience and discipline
Organizational Blueprint
The "Four Engines" model that maps WKT's business into four distinct operating contexts. This is the structural framework that informs every decision in this planning hub.
- Publishing: Competing where customers have choice
- Institutional: Running trusted programs
- Enterprise: Stabilizing the business
- Labs: Building what doesn't exist yet
