Towards a new model of strategy-making as serious play
Article Abstract:
It has been possible to develop a new model of strategy-making as play that can be used to face the challenge of understanding the dynamics of strategy-making in the 21st century. This research has identified three phases of strategy-making as play. These phases act to allow the construction of imaginative ideas, the sharing of new meanings and the incorporation of this new meaning into the participants' work identity. This model makes it possible to analyze the determinants of effective strategy-making after the analysis is completed.
