Building, Connecting and Leading with the Tangible Vision

When there is a crisis, there is an opportunity. ..." --- Ancient Chinese Saying.


Determining the Opportunity Within the Crisis
The Compass team collaboratively uses the Tangible Vision to determine the possible forthcoming crisis and the possible opportunity that comes from it.

The challenge is finding the opportunity for that crisis. While the team is determining the opportunity, they ask the following question, "Does the opportunity enables us to maintain the advantage for a macro moment? ... The next question is what is the length of the macro moment? ...”

To develop this advantage, focus on an idea that gives a position of strength, efficiency and flexibility.
