This panel session focuses on the interplay of strategy processes and strategy practices related to organizational and societal innovation and renewal. Different theoretical perspectives and tools will be presented and examples from different types of organizations - corporate and societal - will be discussed. As both the organizational and societal levels are considered, the issue of self-similarity across scale of innovation and renewal phenomena will figure prominently in the discussion. The idea is to
fully engage with the audience during the session.
