Building Resilience in the Face of Change: How Strategic Innovation Can Help You Stay Ahead. In a world of rapid and unpredictable change, organizations must build resilience. Change is scary, but preparing for it—rather than merely reacting to it—can help ensure that we stay ahead. Fast-changing technology, along with new regulations and social changes, means companies need to plan for uncertainties, track trends, and create practical strategies. Many organizations fail by focusing only on trends, hype, or short-term gains, leaving them unprepared for emerging risks and opportunities. To thrive, businesses need proactive strategies that include rehearsing potential futures, identifying next-order implications, and implementing plans with a clear framework. Nick Bartlett teaches audiences that, when they are strategically prepared, they can influence change rather than be overwhelmed by it.
