Adaptive strategy: the changing paradigm of management thinking
How to establish an Adaptive Strategy and bring the board and organisation on the journey.
As the rate of change increases and the world becomes more complex and uncertain, traditional strategy methods become less effective. Over the last few years new methods of creating and activating strategy have been developed. Adaptive strategy provides a new paradigm in strategic thinking. Using our experience with The Guardians of NZ Superannuation we will show how we co-created an Adaptive Strategy and how it influences and guides decision making.
