About the Open Strategy Network
A Global Community Advancing Research and Practice in Open StrategyThe Open Strategy Network (OSN) is a global community dedicated to advancing research and practice on more transparent and inclusive forms of strategy-making.
We bring together scholars, practitioners, and organizations who share an interest in understanding, developing, and applying open approaches to strategy formation. As open strategy continues to evolve across sectors and contexts, OSN provides a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and intellectual exchange.
What the OSN is About
The OSN serves as a hub for connecting people and ideas around open strategy. Our aim is to strengthen the field by:
- Building an international community of researchers and practitioners interested and engaged in open and participatory strategy processes
- Facilitating exchange through workshops, conference tracks, symposia, and online events
- Curating and sharing knowledge, including research publications, teaching resources, videos, and practitioner articles
- Bridging research and practice, fostering mutual learning between academia and organizations experimenting with openness in strategy-making
We support conversations that explore how openness can reshape strategy formation and implementation, and how different actors – across organizational levels and boundaries – can contribute to strategy processes.
