One of the biggest controversies currently raging is how to handle Covid-19. Four camps have emerged:</p> <ul><li>Therapeutics - curing</li> <li>Vaccination – man-made prevention</li> <li>Increasing Immunity – natural prevention via better health</li> <li>A combination of those three</li> </ul><p>What if this same discussion can be applied to the sudden and completely unplanned-for effects of the almost global mandated lockdown caused by the virus? Can Business agility help?</p> <h2>Is the Cure worse than the Disease?</h2> <p>In trying to cure the effects of the lockdown, many governments have attempted to give away free money to keep the economic system afloat. First, this prolongs the life of clinically-dead/Zombie companies with newly printed or taxpayer money, inspiring even more irresponsible behavior by those companies lucky enough to get bailed-out. An inquiring business mind might wonder, “What does giving away free money have to do with capitalism?”</p> <p>An even bigger, follow-up question becomes whether or not there exists enough “free money" to therapeutically accomplish this solution, especially when measured against the unprecedented and disastrous economic contraction these same players caused? And, what happens to the remaining, yet decreasing trust in this solution if/when taxpayers begin to inquire more deeply as to the origin, sanity and long-term effects of this “free money” approach?</p> <h2>Prevention or suspension?</h2> <p>Vaccination or “man-made prevention” in this case can be likened to the locking down of everyone, healthy as well as sick, into their homes or neighborhoods. Vaccines “prevent” infection by injecting a small dose of the virus into the body. This approach often causes a mild to violent reaction/side-effect in the recipient. Evidence would suggest that lockdowns also seem to cause side effects too. Isn’t it more or less common sense that a big side-effect of staying inside, without benefit of sunshine and exercise, is a decrease in your immunity and an increase in frustration? What happens when these lockdowns are lifted or, the trend of frustrated and healthy people refusing to honor them continues to increase? Will you and your business be ready to handle a possibly drastic surge in new business, while still having to guard against increased infection risk for your employees and friends?</p> <h2>Immunity, Natural prevention (without side effects).</h2> <p>Increasing your immunity (and the “Herd’s”), so far, seems to have been undervalued and underreported. This approach has historically been shown to improve our chances to avoid sickness and reduce the severity, should we indeed catch something. There are some national experiments (such as Sweden’s) now in progress that should provide up to date and measurable evidence of how true this still is. When it comes to the virus du jour, different reports cite Vitamin D, Zinc, Vitamin C, sunshine, fresh air and exercise as effective ways to increase your chances of at least reducing the threat of infection.</p> <p>Each one of these vitamins, as well as sunshine, fresh air and exercise can be thought of as tools to improve your body’s immunity. Used consciously and correctly, they all seem to contribute to making your system stronger and more resistant to dis-ease in general. Most have no side-effects when taken responsibly. Now how does this relate to your business and markets?</p> <h2>Immunity and Business Agility</h2> <p>Employing proven Business Agility tools, responsibly, correctly and at the proper time, can act as vitamins and exercise for your organization, strengthening its resistance to unexpected market turbulence and other forms of dis-ease. Simple things like a better understanding of what business agility is and accurately measuring how agile your company currently is can provide a great start. A comprehensive workshop and/or using an agility index to benchmark your current business agility status will do the trick to uncover your organization’s immunity strengths and weaknesses</p> <p>Once these data points are revealed, other simple, but powerful and proven tools can be employed to empower your organization and further increase its resistance to market turbulence. Of course, there are more sophisticated tools and indexes that can radically empower your organization as well. Some specific actions to take can include the following:</p> <p>· <a href="https://www.caginternationalag.com/services/marketing-responsibility-assessment-MRA"><strong>Routinely reviewing your marketing strategy</strong></a> and making sure it addresses your current and constantly changing market horizon.</p> <p>· <a href="https://www.caginternationalag.com/services/rolling-budget-system-RBS"><strong>Changing your budget system from an annual one to a rolling budget system</strong></a> and freeing up unused or inefficiently placed funds in the process.</p> <p>· <a href="https://www.caginternationalag.com/services/inclusiveness-funnel-IFS"><strong>Anchoring important decisions more deeply and firmly</strong></a> with your employees by including more of them in the process.</p> <p>· <strong><a href="https://www.caginternationalag.com/services/injecting-entrepreneurship-into-your-organization">Creating a “skunk works”</a> </strong>to get the creative juices flowing again.</p> <p>· <strong><a href="https://www.caginternationalag.com/services/STAR">Assessing your corporate training offer</a> </strong>and improving both its output and input, both internally as well as externally to your end users.</p> <p>· <a href="https://www.caginternationalag.com/services/setting-up-a-virtual-or-physical-DNC"><strong>Lessening dependence upon historical KPIs </strong></a>(Key Performance Indicators) by installing a DNS or Dynamic Navigation System to better monitor your current status, measure forward progress and eliminate unnecessary delays caused by managerial excuses.</p> <p>All of the above business agility tools can also be applied to strengthen you organization, regardless of the business environment, with little or no side-effects.</p> <p>There are other, more sophisticated ways to strengthen your organization’s immune system and yes, a combination of three approaches cannot hurt, but the major message is to start now! The quicker you establish a collaborative, business agility culture within your organization, the quicker your ability to protect yourself from all forms of market dis-ease will be strengthened and your bottom line enriched.

What is the biggest impediment and destroyer of this important foundation to Business Agility? <em><span>FEAR and uncertainty</span></em>. In challenging times like these, it is easy to get swept away in fear, worry and anxiety. What if anything can we do about it?</p> <h3>"…destroy the village in order to save it"</h3> <p>This famous quote from the Vietnam War clearly shows the cruel absurdity that can occur when fear takes over. Whether you are a high-ranking leader, decision maker or just a worried parent, fear and anxiety can push you to take misguided actions leading to devastating results.</p> <p>Right now, the village in question may be your personal part of the world’s economic system. With half the world’s population in lockdown, with constant and frightening news stories about how bad things are, people have both voluntarily and been forced to close their wallets. This is an unprecedented threat to many organizations, both small and large. If you are in charge of one of them <em><span>you absolutely have every reason to be scared</span></em>. Yet, as W. Erhard once famously said, “<em>Being reasonable leaves you with reasons, not results</em>”. To make it through this crisis you need results. This means transforming your fears into actionable and measurable results.</p> <h3>"Fear is excitement out of present time". Patrick Collard</h3> <p>What I believe my dear, departed friend meant was that with both fear and excitement you experience the same bodily sensations. Whether riding a roller-coaster or facing bankruptcy, we humans normally experience one or more of the following signs of an adrenaline rush:</p> <p>·     shortness of breath</p> <p>·     faster heartbeat</p> <p>·     sweaty palms</p> <p>·     increased tension</p> <p>Yet what differentiates a healthy feeling of excitement and exhilaration from fear, worry and anxiety is how present you currently are. Fear takes you out of the reality of here and now by forcing you into your head and its deepest and most worrisome thoughts. You separate from the reality in front of you and begin remembering, comparing, reasoning, analysing, justifying and creating worst case scenarios. In the process you lose all connection with the present.</p> <p>Whereas, when you feel excited, the feeling in your body is the same, <em><span>but without the mental thoughts and worry</span></em>. You are more grounded, connected, clear-headed and ready to dance with what is happening in front of you, here and now. To put it another way, “<em>The mind separates and the heart unites</em>”.</p> <h3>The Trick? Transforming fear to excitement</h3> <p>The key to this transformation is a two-step process that is often <em>too simple for complicated minds</em>. First, instead of deeper thinking, your focus needs to be on what you are feeling. If feeling present is the tool to calm your fears, then <em>when is the only time you can feel something</em>?</p> <h3>Put another way:</h3> <p><strong>·     When do you feel something that happened yesterday?</strong></p> <p>For instance, you may remember having felt something uncomfortable at a critical management meeting yesterday, but aren’t your feelings about yesterday’s meeting actually occurring here and now?</p> <p><strong>·     When do you feel something that may happen tomorrow?</strong></p> <p>You may sense a strong premonition of tomorrow’s big, exciting sales meeting or the fear of not being able to pay some bills which must settle tomorrow, but when do you actually experience these feelings?</p> <p><strong>The only time you can ever feel something is here and now, in present time!</strong></p> <p>Thus, the more you dare to practice feeling those, butterflies in your stomach, that pain in your lower back, that anxious, tight feeling in your chest, congratulations, the more present you currently are! A quick check to see that this simple tool is working is to note when your fears, worries or anxieties return. Are they in the form of <em><span>fearful thoughts first</span></em>, followed by <em>feelings of those fears</em>? If so, take a deep breath, then refocus on feelings your body is experiencing and try to objectively sense and define them. This process will force you out of your head’s darkest thoughts and back into the glorious presence of your body, its sensations and its current surroundings. Then you can dance!</p> <h3>Amplifying Presence</h3> <p>Step Two is improving your ability to feel. Again, if sensing what is happening in your body is the key to pull you back into the present, how can you consciously amplify this process?</p> <p>The easiest way to do this is through slow, conscious and deliberate breathing. The deeper and more aware you become of where your breath easily flows within your body, the more relaxed and calm you will feel. The more relaxed you become the easier it is to feel more and thus become even more present. In this softer state you also become much more open and receptive to new information as well as new possible solutions. In this relaxed and present atmosphere, do you think you have more ability and agility to calmly and consciously respond to the challenges you are facing? Can this state increase your chances for success?</p> <h3>Conclusion: Feel, breathe, decide, act.</h3> <p><em>Don’t believe anything written above!</em> That is until you consciously and deliberately try it yourself. A while back and like a fish out of water, I realised I had lived in constant fear for most of my life. It took me a long while to admit it and then to <em><span>even consider</span></em> that there was another way. I took this to the (ridiculous) point that when I began to lose my fears, I would get scared that there was something wrong. I feared I was guilty of missing something and that stressed me too. Finally, after years of training to feel first, then breathe lots, calmly reflect, decide, respond and finally act, I am currently experiencing very little fear, anxiety or worry regarding our latest and most severe collective crisis. A pleasant and appreciated surprise!</p> <p>It is my sincere hope that these simple tips above will help you focus more on taking responsible, agile decisions and actions and then enjoying the profitable results they produce.

He has implemented agile solutions for and with some of the most recognized and respected companies in the world. This was the path I dreamed of taking, but instead ended up tackling effective communication and leadership behavior, from the shop floor up. Although the path I discovered ended up being far from the limelight of high profile, strategic and operational turnarounds, its importance is now being recognized when effectively implementing powerful management tools into organizations for good. This path encompasses the importance of respecting and understanding human behavior, then communicating effectively to build and develop strong, personal relationships. It demands encouraging loyalty and team spirit both internally and externally. Indeed, how can a company claim to be agile without forward-looking, structured processes correctly blended together with open, honest communication? This blending process is the agile key to cultivating loyal, sustainable and profitable relationships.</p> <p>After just one meeting, we agreed to co-write this important book that highlights the current state of cresting <em>mega trends</em> bolstered by a <em>perfect storm</em> of challenges. All of which are coming in increasingly powerful, yet shorter cycles. This turbulent atmosphere of increasing uncertainty demands simple, powerful change management tools, effective communication and decisive behavior to implement changes <em>now.</em></p> <p>Since starting this adventure we have come to realize that this top-down/bottom-up, transactional/relational and consultative/collaborative combination <em>provides a comprehensive solution</em>is a growing set of <em>simple and proven communication tools</em> to master <em>listening with all your senses</em> and to effectively deliver your message in the proper context, so it “moves” your listeners into measurable action and result. Incorporating all of these tools and behavior changes into our <em>Dynamic Navigational System</em> or DNS will allow you to implement, track and measure the change towards agile success directly, <em>in real time!</em></p> <p><strong>This powerful combination we offer and is not found anywhere else!</strong></p> <p>To find out more you are encouraged to pick up a copy of our new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Agility-Successfully-Navigating-Uncertainty/dp/1522787844"><strong><em>“Mastering Agility, Successfully Navigating Uncertainty”</em></strong></a> and then contact us to find out more.
