No matter what we may wish for, the constant storm of uncertainty we’re all living with keeps rising. What can you do to lead for growth in this environment? It all starts with how you look at your situation. The same uncertainty and complexity that challenge us can also contain hidden opportunities for creating new value.
Pivoting and using adaptive “outside-in thinking” can help you protect what you have. However, a strategy focused mainly on protection can also limit business innovation and growth. To build what’s next – even in the face of uncertainty, it’s also critical to discover the hidden opportunities for innovation and transformation embedded in the chaos. It’s what we call visionary “inside-out thinking.”
In this week’s “Quick Take,” we share how balancing both outside-in thinking with inside-out thinking can enable you and your company to keep growing under the most extreme business conditions as well as under everyday conditions. We share a few ideas for what this could look like and also discuss three practical ways you can start pairing “outside-in thinking” with “inside-out thinking,” beginning right where you are today.
“We don’t just need to react faster — we need to think differently. It’s about pairing adaptive thinking with visionary thinking” — Pam Harper
