Here's how you can enhance your agility in the strategy profession.

?? Embrace Change: Accept change as inevitable and beneficial. It offers opportunities for innovation and improvement. ?? Cultivate a Forward-Thinking Mindset: Anticipate change instead of reacting to it. This mindset prepares you for swift strategy pivots. ?? Stay Informed: Keep up with industry trends and shifts. Being informed allows for proactive adjustments in strategy. ?? Lead Change: Take a proactive stance to lead change rather than follow. This keeps you ahead in the strategic game.

Strategy is using change to reach a goal which is unattainable statically. By that I mean if you do not plan what to do you cannot do what you planned therefore nothing changes. A bobber on the water will sit and achieve nothing. Combined with a thread, a hook, some bait and a rod it becomes the best sensor to this day for fishing! Therefore to be strategically leading one has to embrace change as the state of being. In fact the pace and direction of change become the KPIs of achievement but no longer change itself. Luck is preparation + opportunity so by looking at as situation from left fields as well as from the front we have doubled our perception and expounding this approach gives a complete view for which the solution becomes clear!

Continuous Learning In today's fast-paced market, continuous learning is essential. Leverage technology and automation to stay current. For instance, use automation tools like Zapier to streamline workflows and improve productivity. Encourage your team to read industry-relevant books or follow thought leaders on platforms like Medium for insights. Implement online learning platforms like Udemy or Khan Academy for ongoing education. Host regular book club meetings focused on new technologies and business strategies. This proactive approach keeps your business adaptable, ready to anticipate and respond to market changes effectively.

In today's environment of uncertainty and complexity, it is the rate of reflection that is most often overlooked. Building ongoing reflection into any strategic process creates a rhythm similar to Boyd's OODA approach of "Observe, Orient, Decide and Act."

Reflection and Adaption are the fundamentals of agility. You want to be as fast as possible in your approach to product development. Then take feedback and make reflect on the feedback as soon as possible. This gets you closer to the perfect product that the customer needs

Strategy is about proactively charting a future path for your organization. Innovative approaches require a clear problem statement, ecosystem expertise, AI tools for research, and design thinking. For instance, when Tata Nano was envisioned, a dedicated design team with clear objectives and a timeline was assembled. Similarly, a team was formed for designing the space shuttle. Today, AI tools can fast-track research, enhancing agility in achieving outcomes. Ready to revolutionize your strategic approach? Let's dive in!
