strategic agility through intelligences

Its A Wild New World


In the past, strategy was about planning
for the future based on understanding
market trends, on foreseeing competitor
moves, on predicting technological
changes.
Strategy, as we knew it then, was about
decision-making under conditions of risk,
where the future was risky but we could
assign a profile to the risk. Traditional
strategic planning assumed that the
companys environment could be both
predicted and controlled.

The risk that


strategic planners
modeled even few
years ago, has now
become uncertainty,
and often,
deep uncertainty

The business world today presents a vastly


changed picture. The risk that strategic
planners modeled even few years ago, has
now become uncertainty, and often, deep
uncertainty. If strategy planning under
risk can be compared to picking a red ball
from a bowl of x red balls and y green
balls, strategy under uncertainty is about
picking a red ball when we dont have any
idea of how many balls are in the bowl, or
how the -colors are distributed. It is worse
under conditions of deep uncertaintyin
this state, strategic planners do not even
know if there is a bowl with balls.
Globalized markets and competition,
changing customer expectations,
technological advancement and other
similar unpredictable forces are creating
conditions of uncertainty and deep
uncertainty in most industries.
Today, therefore, the primary question
is this: Does your organization have
the capability to rapidly shift between
risk-based strategy, uncertainty-driven
strategy, and deep uncertainty-handling
strategy as the context demands?

Consulting

Workshops

Our approach to consulting draws


on a combination of theories
from psychology, operations
management, information systems
and cultural anthropology to develop
a paradigm-shifting framework for
business strategy based on theories
of human intelligence.

Our consulting efforts typically


start with educational workshops
that introduce our 5-dimensional
intelligences framework and its
application in corporate contexts.
We also offer customized workshops
to our clients to help them develop
specific flexibilities.

Vivkin Group
At Vivkin, it has become our mission
to identify, build and leverage dynamic
capabilities in organizations and
individuals. Following years of our
research at some of the worlds best
business schools (Wharton, Purdue
and University of Minnesota), Vivkin
developed a unique framework which
drew lessons from the adaptability of the
human system, focusing particularly on
the concept of intelligence. The Vivkin
Intelligences FrameworkTM (VIF TM) guides
organizations in developing flexibilities
along five different dimensions and in
designing context-appropriate dynamic
strategies. The approach encompasses
both a people aspect and an organizational
aspect: Leadership IntelligencesTM focuses
on developing adaptive capacity in people
to make them leaders; Organizational
IntelligencesTM examines organizational
structure, processes, and infrastructure
technologies to maximize flexibilities and
build in strategic agility.

Vivkin developed a
unique framework which
drew lessons from
the adaptability of the
human system, focusing
particularly on the
concept of intelligence.
The methodologies we invokefrom
evolutionary economics and ethnography,
to psychology and operations
managementprovide a holistic,
culturally-sustained, and robust approach
which enables our client organizations to
develop the dynamic capabilities needed to
sustain competitive advantage in the face
of rapid change.
We are shifting the paradigm from the
older knowledge-based organization
to the new one of intelligencesdriven company

In other words,
does your organization have strategic agility?

What We Do

Researchers have suggested that strategic agility is derived from what they have
termed dynamic capabilities-capabilities that allow a company to dynamically
acquire, divest, or reconfigure resources in response to environmental change.
However, how to develop dynamic capabilities has remained an open question.
