Wrapping up ..
How can we embrace and drive change while maintaining operational excellence?
How can we properly “surf” the wave of Disruption that is growing exponentially?
Should we build our own “sensitivity model” for technologies and trends that may impact our business?
How can we start thinking about strategic scenario planning? How deep and far out should we go? Can we partner with other players in our own industry?
How can we foster Imagination and creativity in our teams as key attributes for survival, either building competitive edge or stay in business?
