19.07.2024SAP Community Day 2024

Today, our chair successfully co-organized the Strategy-as-Practice Community Day 2024 on “Practicing Strategy at the Crossroads: Navigating Transformation Through Time, Space, and People” at EGOS2024.

Grand societal shifts and challenges place organizations at crucial crossroads. For instance, the boundaries between the digital and physical as well as the professional and personal world become increasingly blurred.

For Part 1 of the Community Day our esteemed panelists brought diverse perspectives to the theme:

• Charlotte Cloutier emphasized the relevance of the praxis of practice
• Martin Friesl emphasized strategic choices at crossroads
• Omid Omidvar highlighted the role of algorithms
• Eero Vaara explored the future of strategy-as-discourse
• Tania Räcker focused on the significance of space in practice research

After the subsequent Special Issue presentation and a coffee break, the program featured interactive roundtable sessions with leading SAP scholars such as Blagoy Blagoev, Gary Burke, Katharina Cepa, Leonhard Dobusch, Stefanie Habersang, Renate Kratochvil, Davide Nicolini, Sotirios Paroutis, Igor Pyrko, Birgit Renzl, Violetta Splitter, and Basak Yakis-Douglas.

We concluded the day with networking opportunities, fostering connections and collaborations for future projects.

We are already looking forward to next year’s celebration sub-theme and the 10th SAP Community Day at EGOS2025 in Athens. A big thank you to all our facilitators, sponsors, and the organizers Robin Engelbach, Christoph Brielmaier, Annabelle Mueller, Rebecca L., and Christian Bruck for making this event a success.

See you soon!
