Being Future Ready

Adaptive Thinking, Contextual Application & Agile Navigation - these are some of the current skills required in the rapidly changing business environment, industry agnostic, to be future ready.

Adaptive Thinking is to consciously and conscientiously adapt one’s thought processes, strategies, responses to evolving situations and dynamic environments. It helps in quicker problem solving, innovation and adjusting to complexity/ unpredictability.

Contextual Application is knowing how and when to apply one’s? knowledge, skills, or strategies, appropriate to a specific situation. What worked earlier may not work in the present! It is important to grasp the environmental specifics and finer micro-nuances in order to make curated decisions.

Agile Navigation helps to future proof. One must ensure and consciously practice the following to remain relevant:

• Be flexible to quickly adapt strategies, customise processes, swiftly change course, as per organisational requirements.
• Be responsive and take timely and effective actions. Seize opportunities, else you’ll cease!
• Be focused on continuous improvement through process iterations. Establish robust governance mechanisms to review, refine and redeploy plans.
• Be collaborative in your approach so that all stakeholders are appropriately informed. This will help in transparency of communication and facilitate quick decision-making. It helps to take the shot!
• To increase efficiency and ensure maximum productivity, be open to process rejigs and people reorientation.

Thriving is essential and not just surviving! One must know how to jive to thrive!
