The large firm has assets: money, buildings and people. And perhaps more dangerously 'ways we do things around here'. But can it respond quickly and effectively to competitive threat?
The experienced employee has an impressive CV: some cool job titles, great qualifications and sound experience in the field. And perhaps more dangerously a mindset that 'I've made it and things will always be this way'. But can he/she adapt to sudden shifts in skill-sets required and of course those no longer required?
In an increasingly turbulent landscape, agility is a remarkable powerful distinguisher of success.The ability to notice a real threat gathering amongst all the chatter and reporting hyperbole, the ability to respond to it effectively and the ability to do that continuously.
Agility: TBC.
