But adapting to disruption before it’s too late is easier said than done.
Changing cultural norms, new technologies, environmental factors, and government regulation are just some of the possible causes of disruption. It’s unrealistic to expect scenario planners to foresee and prepare the organization for all the possibilities.
Disruption demands a timely response from the leadership. However, those in authority, particularly in a culture of command and control, are often last to know, given the impacts of disruption tend to be experienced down-up.
The challenge of sensing disruption is compounded by the traditional annual cadence of review & planning cycles. It’s not unusual for several quarters to have elapsed before disruption is first detected.
The same top-down culture and annual planning cycles that present an obstacle to detecting disruption also promote a monolithic reaction, rather than the agile and adaptive response that is required.
