TURBULENCE: “It is not external events themselves that cause us distress, but the way in which we think about them...It is our attitudes and reactions that give us trouble. We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.” ​Epictetus from “The Enchiridion” written by Arrian Welcome to the: complex, high-tech, global knowledge, interconnected, multi-cultural, multi-dimensional, multi-disciplinary, multi-educational, multi-generational, multi-ideological, ​multi-ability, multi-ethnic, and anticipated TURBULENT future business environment that impacts performance: · positively (opportunity), &/or · negatively (threat); coupled with potential crisis &/or chaos. As could be seen on the video (15 seconds); perception of the TURBULENCE in the environment (stable and/or turbulent​) is determined by 4 Attributes, as follows: Unpredictability → Uncertainty which is measured by two attributes: 1. Visibility of future - ranges from unchanged to surprise-full. 2. Speed of change – ranges from slower to faster than speed of response. Changeability → Discontinuity which is measured by two attributes: 3. Novelty of Events - ranges from familiar to not experienced before. 4. Complexity, which contains (orthogonally): 4.1. Scope - ranging from local to global. 4.2. Decision making and/or judgements that are affected by transaction of the entities. Or the extent of importance of each of the following CHANGE(s), as they affect your decision making in the industry (impact of Decision Making on individuals, &/or groups &/or institutions): Economy, Education, environment (natural), Health, Marriage & the Family, Law & Order, Information & Media, Politics, Religion, and Other. Anticipated Future: visibility of future is low, speed of change is high, novelty of change is high, & complexity is high. Anticipated Implications: acceleration, expansion, overlapping, & suction of future levels of environmental TURBULENCE. Advice: learn & act concurrently. To address the above, two programs based on the teachings of H. Igor Ansoff (Father of Strategic Management) were launched on 1-1- 2023, which are part of my Strategic Management Theme. Titles and links of the two programs are below: 1- Strategic Management Seminars and Workshop (for profit), For any type of firm (for profit and not for profit). Prerequisite, knowledge and practice in management and leadership. Details: 2- Strategic Democracy (not for profit), Customized for managing and leading the people’s business in the USA. Prerequisite, High School or above. Details: Fundamental Question (both programs): How to lead and manage ourselves, each other and the entity, while interacting with turbulence for effective, efficient, and equitable performance (potential formidable advantage)? That is done through answering five questions, as follows: ​1. Where we are ​now? 2. Where do we need to go? 3. How do we get there? 4. How to lead and manage the above? 5. Why not?
