How can you know whether your business will be disrupted? Easy. It will. It is not if, but when. So today is the day you make sure you will be ready.
You may not be a taxi business being disrupted by Uber, a bookkeeper disrupted by Xero, a metal worker disrupted by a laser-cutting machine or a printing business disrupted by digital content, but one thing is for sure – in the near future you can’t expect to be successful if you stay the same.
Right now you need to be working on adapting for disruption or pushing for disruption. Leading disruption in your industry is a bold option filled with risk, and in many cases, great reward. If you are not choosing to lead, then you better be agile – be ready to adapt, upskill, re-design, test, experiment, take risks, accept failures, innovate and challenge. Ask yourself are you investing in agility in your business, or are you waiting until disruption hits you in the face before you react?
Our advice to you is get ready now. Start investing in what you see your business becoming.
If you would like support in developing this agility and investment in your future business, please contact your local business adviser who can connect you with our specialist performance consulting team.
