We put so much faith in our ability to predict and even to control future events that we forget that we are often caught up in events and need to make constant adjustments. The best approach, as you suggest, is developing an organizational "radar" that allows us to anticipate changing circumstances and constantly adjust, without losing sight of our end goals.

Environments and systems are changing faster than our change-resistant minds can accept, and the landscape is rapidly morphing and providing new opportunities. I figure many companies that created strategic plans 3 years ago didn't include the explosive growth and importance of social media, and some made strategic course corrections (to their benefit), others didn't. The skillset of the future won't be the ability to achieve clearly-articulated deliverables on a preplanned course. It will be the ability to make rapid, dynamic shifts, and mobilize assets quickly to achieve goals -- while maintaining core values. I wonder how many of the businesses receiving bailout dollars were achieving the goals set in their 3 year strategic plans. regards, Ana-Marie Jones www.CARDcanhelp.org David,
