Why You Need to Stress Test Your Strategies (and Tactics)

While many teams and organizations engage in scenario
planning, most don't go far enough. Arjan
Singh, consultant and adjunct professor at Southern Methodist
University, says a more disciplined approach, borrowed from
the military, can help leaders truly
test how their strategies, operations, and
tactics hold up against competitors, shifting market dynamics,
and unexpected events. He's helped hundreds of
companies identify risks and find new ways to innovate by
leading them through corporate war games, and he explains his
process and results. Singh is the author of the book Competitive
Success: Building Winning Strategies with Corporate War Games.
