As Darwin observed, it is not the strongest or smartest who survive but those who are most adaptive to change. What has your company done to increase its adaptiveness? Have recent world events caused you to accelerate your efforts?

This webcast will provide practical ways to manage uncertainty by showing you how to:

• Use scenario planning to improve your organization’s insight and foresight
• Devise adaptive strategies with sufficient flexibility to deal with the unexpected
• Implement a dynamic monitoring system to track the external world in real time
• Improve your organization’s agility in terms of structure, processes, and rewards
• Enhance your information and decision making procedures to remain vigilant
• Foster strong leadership at multiple levels

Dr. Paul Schoemaker, Founder and Chairman of Decision Strategies International, Research Director of the Mack Center for Technological Innovation and Adjunct Professor of Marketing, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, will review key points of the attached article “Are You Ready For Global Turmoil?” and best practices for managing uncertainty.
