10 questions to help your strategy survive disruption

Themes: Product | Governance | Strategy

Disruption doesn't break organisations with bad execution - it breaks organisations whose strategy provides no guidance when conditions change. 

When markets shift, technology leaps forward, or key leaders leave, teams following project lists freeze, while teams with genuine strategic clarity adapt. 

But how do you know whether your strategy is the resilient kind? 

This hands-on workshop puts 10 diagnostic questions to your organisation's strategic approach, drawn from the work of Rumelt, Mintzberg, Snowden, Martin and Marquet. 

You'll assess your own organisation against each question, learn from peers facing similar disruption challenges, and go deeper on the gaps that matter most to this room. 

No prior knowledge required - just honest reflection about where your strategy falls short.

Participant takeaways:

• 10 diagnostic questions you can ask about any strategy - your organisation's, your team's, or your product's - to identify where it provides genuine guidance when disruption arrives and where it provides none at all
• a personal assessment of your own organisation's strategic health across all 10 qualities, revealing vulnerabilities that may not be visible until disruption exposes them
• a practical, group-created poster that translates a strategic quality into plain language with one concrete first action - something you can share with colleagues who weren't in the room
• one specific, small experiment designed for your own situation that you can run quickly to strengthen a strategic capability before you need it
• a deeper understanding of why strategic clarity - not better processes or faster delivery - is the foundation that determines whether teams navigate disruption effectively or just react to it
