| Nearly every executive I talked to believes that the accelerating pace of change is now a top challenge and major risk and these issues did not begin in 2019. Perhaps the biggest challenge is the impact of the change is showing to be far more reaching than many are prepared for. It took television 13 years to reach 50 million users. It took the Internet 4 years to reach 50 million users. It took Twitter 9 months! It took Poke’man Go only 19 days! What is likely to be next and how fast with that happen? Possibly hours? Digital transformation is a much broader business strategy than just technology. Think about all the programs and projects.How prepared are you and your organization to deal with the continued acceleration of change that is driven by emerging technologies?
The time to act is now. You can lead, . . . quickly follow, . . . or be aggressively pushed aside.
Albert Einstein said, “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change”

| . . . take a moment and a step back and reflect on the progress we have made amidst the chaotic world in which we now operate. Think about all the challenges we now face as a program and project manager in the constant world of change. How do we keep up this pace? Where do we acquire the new skills and knowledge? How do we choose the best past forward and the best opportunities?
What is the proper strategy to move ahead? So many questions!

| Strategy requires continual monitoring and updating as new impactful technologies emerge. Identifying the strategic influence of emerging technologies on an organization is not an easy task these days. It is part art and part science and heavily reliant on up-to-date data, information and knowledge. It also requires unique relationships with those associated with the emerging technologies and who have a solid understanding of how the technologies may impact your industry. When the up-to-date data, information and knowledge about the impactful emerging technologies is in the hands of strategists, their attention must turn to determining how the emerging technologies will impact them currently and will likely have in the coming years on their organization.

| I was recently ask for a 1-slide summation of my recommendations about setting a strategy today! After giving it some thought, here is what I created.
Continue to integrate past memories of what you learned from success and failures and integrate those learning into what you believe are future possibilities. Whatever you do avoid hasty decisions and analysis paralysis!
