Imagine firing a gun at a target. You can aim all you like, but until you take the first shot you can’t really aim with any certainty as you do not know how the wind will impact the bullet nor how the alignment of the barrel will affect the trajectory. It’s only after you take your first shot can you effectively aim.
So it is in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world. We rarely know, with certainty, what is going to happen in our markets until we take action. In a VUCA world we need to be constantly testing, learning, adapting to the frequent shifts that are happening.
It has been said that the only sustainable competitive advantage is to learn and adapt faster than your competition. You can only learn and adapt by taking action…
- The universe rewards action with feedback.
- Until you take action you can’t get feedback.
- Until you get feedback you can’t learn.
- And until you learn you can’t effectively adapt.
This is why Profitable Conversations has adopted an action-oriented approach – Ready-Fire-Aim.
