Versatility Versus Perpetual Planning

So many business and industry consultants are hired to help with the strategic planning to perpetuate profits and protect assets. Still, too much planning can be a disaster; more important often than planning is agility, and versatility. In the late 90s there was a book written called; "The Fast Eat the Slow," and in that book the author discussed the successes of startup Internet companies and the high-tech companies in Silicon Valley.

They were giving the Fortune 500 and all the brick-and-mortar companies a run for their money at the time. In fact, many of the large well-established companies that were part of the status quo didn't know what to do, and were so worried about these little companies stealing their profits and customers. So, they hired even more lobbyists to get government regulators to clamp down on those fast-moving companies in Silicon Valley.

Later, The Motley Fools wrote a book that was quite apropos called; "Rule Maker Rule Breaker" in which they described the disruptive scenarios of fast-moving companies with all the agility in the world and old stodgy companies that could not move fast enough to get out of their own way.

During the Revolutionary war the United States the redcoats had a hard time combating the fast hit-and-run tactics of our founding fathers ragtag military operations. The ability to maintain versatility at all times, and the ability to turn on a dime gives advantages that are far greater than any strategic planner of any future battle could hope to create. Please consider all this.
