You're a strategy executive who wants to stay ahead of the curve. What skills should you focus on?
Two of my favorite quotes illustrate why continuous learning should be the norm: “A mind is like a parachute; it doesn’t work if it’s not open” — Frank Zappa “One can resist the invasion of an army, but one cannot resist the invasion of an idea.” — Victor Hugo

You're a strategy executive who wants to stay ahead of the curve. What skills should you focus on?
Too many leaders and executives dislike and distrust scenario analysis. Why? Many reasons really, but a key underlying basis is the uncertainty scenarios imply, which triggers the insecurities of those who believe / act like they are in control. An elegant way around this problem is to learn to develop a “rubics cube” of outcomes, preferably 2x2 or 3x3 but sometimes 4x4. You’ll be surprised how 9 scenarios (just don’t call them that) are suddenly acceptable just because of the presentation construct. Super useful for shaping market entry strategy, for example, where you might mix product, psychographic, and demographic outcomes.

Learn to think outward-in. Identify the path break / transition points and what may be the cause(s). Once you’ve gotten to the present, run it all forward to see that it makes sense. Backwards and forwards thinking in time is just so critical to exercising that foresight muscle.
