Straight Talk Live Ep 39: Anticipating Strategic Surprise
What is a “Strategic Surprise?”
Catastrophic world events can send even the most successful businesses into a death spiral. If you haven’t anticipated or prepared for the “unforeseeable” (i.e. COVID 9/11, market crash, etc.), you could end up watching your life’s work go down in flames. We’ve seen with COVID over the past few months that this is happening on a massive, worldwide scale.
✔️So what can we learn from the ‘Cassandras’ of the world? These are people who notice patterns, who can anticipate outcomes and help us better prepare for and deal with chaos when it arises.
✔️Can we learn how to anticipate surprises?
✔️And can we learn to see present patterns more clearly, to help us make better decisions right now?
Join us with special guest Milo Jones, the co-author of Constructing Cassandra: Reframing Intelligence Failure at the CIA, 1947-2001. He is a cyber security expert, strategist and analyst, and he will lead our discussion and give us keys to becoming more adaptable during strategic surprises.
