Adaptive Strategizing
Creative Strategizing

By

Abigail Pugal-Somera


mix of traditional livelihood
systems, modified by locally or externally
induced innovations, and coping strategies
that have become permanent. They arise
from the "dynamic interaction and mutual
interdependence between human agency
and the ecosystem" (Titi and Singh, 1994b).


used to describe ways in which
individuals, households and communities
have changed their mix of productive
activities, and modified their community
rules and institutions over the long term, in
response to economic or environmental
shocks or stresses, in order to meet their
livelihood needs
Stanford Social Innovation Review on adaptive strategy. Dana O’Donovan and Noah Rimland
Flower
Creating strategies that are truly adaptive
requires that we give up on many long-held
assumptions. As the complexity of our physical
and social systems make the world more
unpredictable, we have to abandon our focus
on predictions and shift into rapid prototyping
and experimentation so that we learn quickly
about what actually works.
1.

Geographic Expansion


Locally – key cities and major provinces
 Internationally – nearby countries or global markets
2.

Product Line Expansion


Other market segments of the same industry
 Service extensions added to enhance the value proposition to
customers
Organizational Expansion

3.


Franchising, branching, distributing, outsourcing, sub-contracting
 Other forms of networking and linkaging
 Mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, strategic alliances and joint
ventures

Enter industries that are related to, supportive of and complementary
with the enterprise’s main products and services

What vision it wants to pursue?
How it will make a difference?
How it will succeed?; and
What capabilities it will take to get there?
How organizations will have to transform to
survive and thrive in the Social Era is by
being:
1. Fast
2. Fluid and
3. Flexible
Meaning strategy has to be this as well
Image from Jade McDade
To execute adaptive strategies you need to
communicate, openly, fast, otherwise an
organization can become tangled up in
processes and bureaucracy.

vehicle back on the track as quickly and safely as
service and schedules. Need to reduce ground time possible. After benchmarking pit crews maintenance

reduced by more than half saving/making the airline
millions of dollars within the first few years.


Products are 'tangible objects that exist in both time and space'

(Shostack, 1982, p.49). Manzini (1996) describes them as artifacts
that supply the consumer with benefits, noting that production is
usually separated by time and place from consumption.



Services 'consist solely of acts or process(es), and exist in time
only' (Shostack, 1982, p.49). They are intangible (i.e. they do not

occupy space) and, as such, they cannot be possessed; they can
only be experienced, created or participated in.



in order to minimize the need for individual ownership
As Al Franken said in his documentary movie "God
Spoke”:
"My dad was a Republican until 1964. And he was a Jacob Javits
Republican. You know, he grew up in New York, he voted for
Herbert Hoover. And he voted for every Republican…and then
in 1964…during the civil rights struggle, my dad would say '
that is so wrong. No Jew can be against civil rights.' And my
dad was a card-carrying member of the NAACP, and a
Republican. And so in 1964 they nominate Goldwater, who was
against the civil rights bill, and that was it. My dad was a
Democrat for the rest of his life."
That change in attitude came from something that had
two deep-seated convictions wrestling with each other.
One was a moral conviction, the other was political
(although some often mix the two together). The moral
conviction was stronger, and Al Franken's father
changed his political affiliation. And thus, that change in
belief created a change in behavior. He was voting
Republican, his paradigm was shifted, and after that he
voted Democrat. It's simple cause and effect.
But that's rare. Most of the time, it's much more difficult
to overturn such strong convictions and beliefs.
Advertisers, when faced with this challenge, would have
better luck nailing Jello to a wall.
1.

Changing the relative evaluation of
attributes

2.

Changing brand beliefs

3.

Adding an attribute

4.

Changing the over-all brand rating


Metaphoring
 Change and Comparison
 Can liken the business to a situation or phenomenon

that comes from a different world but shares similar
characteristics with the enterprise

 The idea is to generate a lot of possible directions or

solutions from the similar situation or phenomenon.
These solutions can then be brought back to the
world of enterprise by asking how the similar situation
could possibly translate in


Bonsai Method
 Controlled growth

 Change in a meaningful way
 In a Japanese garden, the bonsai represents

Mother Nature, albeit in a stylized and
miniaturized form.


Prototyping
