If there was ever an author who has her finger on the pulse it is B.J. Gallagher. 

Over more than 40 years B.J. has inspired thousands through her books and speaking engagements.  She writes books that educate and empower (as well as entertain) a broad population of the general public. Her message is powerful, positive and most of all, practical. 

Her international best seller, A Peacock in the Land of Penguins inspired me to have the conversation with her about all we can be.  

As a former manager of training and development she understands what it takes to develop to a whole new level of 'being'. 

I hope you enjoy the conversation. 

Recent news stories about 'resignations' and the 'quiet quitting' is cause for pause.  Is this really all new? 

What can be at the root of all this activity? 

I have some thoughts and views I share with in this podcast.

Good day, 

Business turbulence during 2020 - 2022 has caused many companies to revisit their priorities, expectations and how they achieve results. 

Resilience has drawn much attention as a means to get past COVID-19. 

Today we talk about another major contributor to the businesses' ability to get past difficult situations and create value for consumers, for their employees and stakeholders. 

Dragica and Rebecca talk about the 'Adaptability Factor' - Join us and better understand how adaptability adds value in ways that 'Continuous Improvement' could not.

Uvidi Management Group partners and colleagues work with organizations to create value in innovative ways and to support them in navigating the hellfire of business. 

Uvidi develops programs that help medium and large organizations to build the 'know-how' muscles that power new capabilities. 

Too often strategy is disconnected from the organization's capabilities. 

How can this be? 

The traditional approach to strategy is not working to address current business uncertainty and turbulence.  Executives must create a future-fit culture where sense-making, decision-making and action-taking are tightly aligned and integrated.  With prevailing shortages in the talent pool, new approaches are needed. 

Executives are becoming aware that they must take more time to make considered, data-informed decisions.  This requires them to take the time necessary to understand new technology, the environment and the economics of their impact. 

As change accelerates, planning cycles are shortened - making the traditional 'ways' obsolete.

Failing to adapt to new methods will leave them stuck in the past and fall short of effectively executing a 'strategy' that will produce the outcomes they need. 

This podcast explores the options available to make sense of strategy in the body of the organization, not only at the executive level.
