Navigating Extreme Change Raizor's Edge

Do you know how to make good decisions when the systems you rely on for help become unstable or unreliable? During extreme change, entrepreneurs are often faced with making quick decisions with little information.
In this episode of the Navigating Extreme Change podcast series, Allon Raiz explores how you can take a step back and focus on asking the right questions to help make these critical decisions.

The first time you experience anything new it could be seen as extreme change – it’s the first time you are dealing with all the consequences of that experience. In zooming out of a situation, cycles of change can be identified.
Join Allon Raiz as he discusses anticipating these cycles to prepare for change, and in doing so, looking for ways we can view and understand these situations and behavioural responses differently.

Scenario planning is an effective tool to bring order to a chaotic situation and gives the entrepreneur a rational basis on which to make high quality decisions when others are panicking.

In times of crisis, it’s even more important for entrepreneurs to make business decisions that are measured and considered, and to prime their businesses to both take advantage of opportunities and mitigate risks. During this #NavigatingExtremeChange podcast episode, Allon Raiz discusses how entrepreneurs can build a decision-making matrix to help them assess all potential opportunities clearly and objectively.

During this episode, Gareth and Allon consider the first article in Allon's lockdown series, Get to Rational Quickly. Their discussion is filled with practical lessons and insights, as well as a real example of what can happen when an entrepreneur’s rational brain is activated while their competitor remains in a state of panic and uncertainty.
