To lead a successful organization in the 21st century, business Strategy needs to be married with personal Awareness. Leaders must develop Strategic Awareness in their business so that they can be ready for high-velocity business. They need to go beyond conventional business models that are based on the scarcity paradigm and let go of strategy that focuses on building advantage over the competition. Effective strategy has always been important in business practices, but having good strategy alone is now not adequate, since our modern world is moving faster than ever before. Strategic Awareness is essential to superior performance, which, after all, is the prime target of any enterprise.
Strategic Awareness is how non-analytic data is accessed through what is best described as awareness or inner knowing, and is incorporated into the strategic decision-making process as an integral component. Furthermore, awareness when combined with strategy enhances analytic thinking and provides insights as to timing, specific strategy and innovation. Strategic Awareness allows us to take in a wide range of information and perceive things in a broader context, to take advantage of opportunities and to avoid problems that trap other people.
Strategic Awareness creates synergy that allows us to be able to make the accurate business decisions, create new ideas that will generate money, envision new trends, know who to hire, know who to partner with and know how to transform risk into strategic advantage. This powerful combination of awareness and business strategy creates momentum and enables us to take advantage of all the new opportunities that the hyper-change environment is creating.
