one things your strategy has to incorporate is a scenario-based approach to planning

In this case we have a simple matrix with the potential value of a technology and its impact as one axis and the certainty of something occurring on the other

>> What if the internet of things becomes far more important faster?

>> What if a new company starts winning customers by using Big Data to deliver much higher value customer outcomes?

>> What if adoption of the wearable tech you thought was going to accelerate declines?

Those are simple examples, but by developing multiple scenarios your team can include different perspectives or outcomes in your planning process and use those to develop an optimal strategy

By defining parameters that help you track how these are trending, you set the stage for an adaptive strategy 14
