Abstract Text Over the last few years, strategy researchers have witnessed a new trend in the practice of strategy development towards more openness – both in terms of increasing transparency about the strategy process and in terms of including a wider range of actors in the formulation of strategy. While collecting data in various organizations, we have observed how differently organizations approach and implement ‘Open Strategy’ in practice. At this year’s SMS, we therefore took the opportunity to convene a diverse practitioner panel to gain practical insights into the different participation practices of AXA UK, IBM and Wikimedia. The panelists consisted of influential practitioners who openly shared and discussed both best practices and challenges. It was extremely interesting to see how differently ‘Open Strategy’ is put into practice while ultimately leading to similar effects and learnings.
