Read book "Adaptability: The Art of Winning In An Age of Uncertainty" by Max McKeown
All success is successful adaptation. All failure is a failure to adapt. Adaptability is about the powerful difference between adapting to cope and adapting to win. Fascinating real-world examples from business, government, and sport, military and wider society bring the rules of adaptability to life. From the world's most innovation corporations to street-level creativity emerging from the slums. From McDonalds to Sony, from post-war Iraq to the revolutions of the Arab Spring, from the bustling markets of Hong Kong to the rubber marked circuit of the Monte Carlo Rally.With insightful rules, Max Mckeown shows you how to increase the adaptability of your organization to create winning positions. Human history is a story of competition to adapt between groups and individuals. It has never been more important to understand how to think better and adapt.
The principles that Max has outlined here have practical application, which might seem like quite a statement to make, unless this was coming from someone who has actually applied the principles in this book in the context that Max has outlined / suggested, and as he intended. Max has done his homework, the principles are intended for all kinds of strategists, whether you are an Monday morning arm-chair quarterback, to the IP attorney, to the hungry M&A focused executive, to the Innovation Manager trying to figure out how to enable his firm to be adaptive in the marketplace. I am reminded of Colonel John Boyd - OODA Loop fame, and his last remaining acolyte, Chet Richard's and his book "Certain To Win" , if the Colonel and Chet are the architects of the blueprint of the future adaptable organization, then Max's book on "Adaptability: The Art of Winning in an Age of Uncertainty" is the teeth that gives you the reader the principles to help drive your business, your processes and most importantly your people to help guide them on what you expect,and what the organization needs.
