6 Factors Driving Changes to Today’s Corporate Strategies

Six important factors are driving new and updated demands on corporate strategists.

1. Dynamism: competitive advantages do not last as long as they used to, so re-balancing needs to occur more actively and frequently
2. Uncertainty: as business plans become less predictable, scale takes on a new dynamic—that being resilience
3. Contingency: companies need to have more than one strategy at their fingertips
4. Connectedness: true value can now reside beyond the boundaries of the firm
5. Contextuality: corporate strategy must now creatively include new social and ecological constraints
6. Cognition: companies need to combine machine learning and AI with human cognition to create new ‘bionic’ organizations
