PDW Description:
Experimentation is often adopted to answer current market needs and opportunities (Augustine et al., 2019) to test different options and increase the probability of success (Kindermann et al., 2022). What if we adopt experimentation for future-making? What might be the role of experimentation in crafting a desirable future for our society and tackling grand challenges (Gümüsay and Reinecke, 2022)? Research on the role of practices and approaches to future-making, such as narratives (Rindova and Martins, 20221), languages (Liuberte and Dimov, 2021), and artifacts (Thompson, 2018), is growing. Nonetheless, we know little about the role of experimentation (Thomke, 2020) in future-making (Wenzel, 2022). This session explores how experimentation can be developed as an organization-wide capability for the creation of desirable futures and how managers and scholars from across disciplines can and should adopt such an approach in their endeavors. In light of this year's theme on the inclusion of workers, as well as management, in our teaching and research, we want to highlight the challenge of translating strategic organizational capabilities into new behaviors at the front-line. We plan to accomplish this by bringing together a collection of scholars, each well-recognized in their own field, to share their perspectives, with a goal to identify collectively opportunities to work together across disciplines.
