N2 - This is a proposal for our fifth annual panel symposium exploring new horizons in managerial and organizational cognition research. In previous years we respectively covered perceived uncertainty, advances in methods, innovation, and business models. This year we propose a conversation to explore the theoretical foundations of cognitive aids in strategy. Strategy work has witnessed a proliferation of frameworks and tools over the past few decades, now including a plethora of 2x2 matrices, canvases, scenario and war games, Lego, doodling and drawing, music… all supposed to aid processes of organizational cognition and planning in the context of strategy work. We aim to take stock of some of the theoretical foundations of why and how such tools impact cognition. This conversation precedes an anthology that will be published later in 2023 under the title Cognitive Aids in Strategy (the latest volume in the Emerald series New Horizons in Managerial and Organizational Cognition).
