Take a look at an interesting article mentioned at today's Community Planning Meeting titled Managing in the Whitespace. Wondering what whitespace is? Mark C. Maletz and Nitin Nohria describe it as "the large but mostly unoccupied territory in every company where rules are vague, authority is fuzzy, budgets are nonexistent, and strategy is unclear — and where, as a consequence, entrepreneurial activity that helps reinvent and renew an organization takes place."
