SPECIAL REPORT
Pattern-Based Strategy

Increasing Competitive Advantage Through Seeking, Modeling and Adapting to Emerging Patterns of Change

The depth of the recent recession blindsided most businesses. As the economy starts to recover, many business leaders are thinking, "If I had seen this coming sooner, I could have acted faster, decreased my risk and enhanced my opportunities for growth." There is a way to see things coming. It's a framework for proactively seeking and acting on the early and often-termed "weak" signals forming patterns in the marketplace. It's also about the ability to model the impact of patterns on your organization and identify the disciplines and technologies that help you consistently adapt. It's called Pattern-Based Strategy.

Introducing Pattern-Based Strategy

The environment after the recession means business leaders must be more proactive in seeking patterns from conventional and unconventional sources that can positively or negatively impact strategy or operations, and set up a consistent and repeatable response by adjusting business patterns.
