Being strapped for money or time can make us myopic to the larger picture and the slack we need to build in in order to be able to step up to challenges and opportunities that come our way.

Where do our decisions come from? The rationalistic model says it takes deduction, analysis and comparison. The naturalistic model says it takes experience, intuition and mental simulation.

Organizations may get caught up in internally directed complexities at the cost of lack of focus on customer, markets, partners, competitor and regulations.

At times we and our organizations may feel like being in a rut. What served us well in the past, may not be the right answer for the future. Games can be used to break out of our rut and progress toward new goals.

Employing Agile delivery in our project can help us adjust to changing requirements and thus deliver what the customer actually wants. However, not all projects and all organizations lend themselves to the Agile methodology. Always do an assessment first.
