6 strategic challenges

6 strategic challenges We interpret our world / markets through an inappropriate / old fashioned lens We use outdated / static formulation processes We have conflicting agendas amongst stakeholders Our leadership is not leadership Our organizational capabilities are not aligned or complimenting with each other Our purpose / values are either not well defined, not taken as sacrosanct / flimsy or simply ignored

The challenge of unlearning A lesson from Edward de Bono

Because information comes in asynchronously, and we need to be able to reorder it regularly

Assume the shapes below represent data/information. Arrange the shapes in such a way that you produce a single shape that can be easily explained to someone over the phone.

You’ll probably do something like this: “A rectangle where one side is 3 times the length of the other”

Now add the following shape:

You’ll probably do something like this: “A rectangle where one side is 4 times the length of the other”

Now add these two shapes

You’ll probably attempt something like this: “Now add two smaller bits, and … Oh, it doesn’t quite fit, but don’t worry too much, because it nearly fits …”

What you really need to do is take all the data / information and rearrange it from scratch – NOT just add it to your existing shapes. You need to be prepared to unlearn!

You could end up with something like this:

The conﬂicting agendas of stakeholders

The conﬂicting agendas of stakeholders Who are all your stakeholders - at all levels ? What do they want out of the ‘level’ - ie what is their agenda ? To what extent are these aligned / in conﬂict ? Is it possible to ‘get them aligned’ ? When is doubt - whose agenda is followed ?

Strategic Intuition - ref William Duggan 3.Strategic Intuition – Doesn’t start with a ‘big idea’ Begins by being open to possibilities Builds off other (very different) ideas It’s a clear thought that slowly evolves Not fast or impulsive It is ediﬁed by a multiplicity of factors Takes you into unknown, new spaces Once ‘ﬂash of insight’ occurs - strike fast, pursue

Von Clausewitz unpacked Source: Strategic Intuition by William Duggan

Von Clausewitz unpacked Examples from History - strategic intuition draws on the knowledge and experience of all of history far and wide, all stored in the shelves of the mind Presence of mind - refers to a clear mind, clear of all expectations and previous ideas of what you might do or even what your goal is. Flash of insight - In a free mind selected elements from various examples come together in a new combination. Resolution i.e. Resolve / determination - you not only need to see what to do but also be ready to do it. The ﬂash of insight carries with it the force of action that propels you forward, but you need the resolve to push on and make your strategy happen Source: Strategic Intuition by William Duggan

A more modern example

Traveling from the Atlantic to Paciﬁc Oceans - surely travel West ??

Traveling from the Atlantic to Paciﬁc Oceans - surely travel West ?? Actually South East !!

Obliquity

Obliquity Ref : John Kay

Obliquity Ref : John Kay Why !! Our goals are best achieved indirectly eg !! The Happiest people don’t pursue happiness !! The Wealthiest people don’t puruse materialism !! The most profitable companies are not the most profit orientated Think “Snakes and Ladders”

The need for obliquity - why we often cannot solve problems directly Muddling through – why obliquity succeeds Pluralism – why there is usually more than one answer to any problem Interaction – why the outcome of what we do depends on why we do it Complexity – how the world is too complex for directness to be direct Incompleteness – how we rarely know enough about the nature of our problems Abstraction – why models are imperfect descriptions of reality

A few words of caution / to ponder on !! We mistakingly infer design from outcome !! We have less freedom of choice than we think !! Decision makers don’t recognise the limits of their knowledge !! Adaptation is smarter than we are !! We know more than we can tell !! Complex outcomes are achieved without knowledge of an overall purpose !! It is more important to be right that to be consistent !! Spurious rationality is often confused with good decision making

Some strategic realities

Some strategic realities let me put this another way !!!

Some strategic realities strategy is both created and it evolves let me put this another way !!!

Some strategic realities strategy is both created and it evolves strategy often happens indirectly / obliquely let me put this another way !!!

Some strategic realities strategy is both created and it evolves strategy often happens indirectly / obliquely strategy needs lots of intuition - more than gut feel let me put this another way !!!

Some strategic realities strategy is both created and it evolves strategy often happens indirectly / obliquely strategy needs lots of intuition - more than gut feel strategy is a living process - never static or caste in stone let me put this another way !!!

7 leadership imperatives • Understanding Changing Market • Creating Strategic Agenda • Set Purpose and Values – Why organization exists / how it behaves • Developing Organizational Capabilities – Hard and Soft elements – structure, systems, processes, governance, skills, culture, climate • Taking Stakeholders with You – Balancing conﬂicting stakeholder agenda’s • Initiating Strategic Change – Ensuring new strategy becomes a way of life • The Essence of ‘Strategic Leadership’

Perspectives on Leaderhship • Our capacity as a leader comes from our choice to allow life to unfold through ourselves.” • Leadership exists when people are no longer victims of circumstances but participate in creating new circumstances ! ! ! ! ! ! Senge / Jaworski - Synchronicity
