Strategic capability is required for thinking your way out of difficult positions
“Strategic capability is required for thinking your way out of difficult positions.”[1] This is because as systems and contexts change over time, fresh thinking becomes essential for getting out of situations that shifted and have suddenly become difficult for the organization.
There simply is no one perfect strategy that will last for all time. There are multiple ways to win in any almost any industry. That’s why building up strategic thinking capability within your organization is so vital.
