ALT How do decentralized organizations navigate the complex terrain of emerging technologies? Which consultants are ideally suited to guide them through these intricate landscapes? We explore these critical questions in the context of an emerging decentralized and organizational type called 'Farmer Producer Organizations', comprising smallholders aggregated by governments for resource pooling, risk management and market access. We offer a framework that unveil how these entities leverage different degrees of structural and contextual ambidexterity to manoeuvre rapidly evolving technological and regulatory environments. This insight offers significant implications for management consultants and policymakers engaged in the realm of decentralized systems.
