Abstract

The article discusses a new approach to knowledge-sharing within organizations called "evolvable scripts." Evolvable scripts are concise instruction sets that allow employees to adapt to specific and changing needs while still maintaining consistency and quality. The article provides examples of evolvable scripts used by Apple and Adidas and outlines the three crucial elements of developing evolvable scripts: identifying essential elements of success, articulating key steps to accomplish a task, and building in evolvability. The article also suggests sharing scripts beyond the company to foster open innovation and learning. [Extracted from the article]
