A Company That is as Nimble as Change Itself. As the pace of change accelerates, so must the pace of strategic renewal in every organization. All too often deep change is crisis-driven and episodic; too seldom is it opportunity-driven and continuous. Drawing on his pioneering work on strategic "resilience," Hamel's can help your company to:

Recognize the warning signs of "strategy decay"
Overcome the arrogance and denial that so often frustrates strategic renewal
Build a future-oriented vision that is powerful enough to overcome the gravitational pull of the past
Accelerate the shift of resources from legacy programs to future-oriented initiatives
Weave the principles of resilience into every management process and practice

If the goal is a company that can change as fast as change itself, these are essential insights.

Anticipate the "over-the-horizon" management challenges that will determine success in the years ahead
Successfully challenge the outmoded management orthodoxies that limit success
Uncover the new management principles that will determine industry leadership in the future

In short, Hamel can show your organization how to build tomorrow's best practices today.
