The Agility Paradox: Why Traditional Efficiency Is Your Biggest Risk
In a world of constant change, traditional efficiency-focused strategies are becoming liabilities rather than assets. Business landscapes shift overnight, and global challenges emerge with alarming speed, yet executive teams continue to rely on decision frameworks designed for a more predictable era. The results are disastrous: rigid organizations unable to pivot when markets demand it, efficiency initiatives that stifle innovation, and risk management approaches that fail to anticipate interconnected threats.
