Loosely defined, resilience is the capacity of a system — be it an individual, a forest, a city, or an economy — to deal with change and continue to develop.

<br />
(...)<br />
Loosely defined, resilience is the capacity of a system — be it an individual, a forest, a city, or an economy — to deal with change and continue to develop. It is both about withstanding shocks and disturbances (like climate change or financial crisis) and using such events to catalyze renewal, novelty, and innovation. In human systems, resilience thinking emphasizes learning and social diversity.<br />
<br />
Resilience theory, first introduced by Canadian ecologist C.S. “Buzz” Holling in 1973, begins with two radical premises. The first is that humans and nature are strongly coupled and coevolving, and should therefore be conceived of as one “social-ecological” system. The second is that the long-held, implicit assumption that systems respond to change in a linear — and therefore predictable — fashion is altogether wrong. In resilience thinking, systems are understood to be in constant flux, highly unpredictable, and self-organizing with feedbacks across multiple scales in time and space. In the jargon of theorists, they are complex adaptive systems, exhibiting the hallmark features of complexity.<br />

I was having lunch the other day when my companion (knowing that I had recently started my own company to do business and competitive strategy for high tech companies) asked me about my competition. That's a great question but I stumbled when answering him.<br />
<br />
"I don't have any competition" was my first response. After only a moment's thought, that didn't sound accurate to me. There is almost always competition and it is important to know a lot about them (duh).<br />

I was having lunch the other day when my companion (knowing that I had recently started my own company to do business and competitive strategy for high tech companies) asked me about my competition. That's a great question but I stumbled when answering him.<br />
<br />
"I don't have any competition" was my first response. After only a moment's thought, that didn't sound accurate to me. There is almost always competition and it is important to know a lot about them (duh).<br />
<br />
Maybe my competition is all of those people that are already doing competitive intelligence (that would be you folks). That's it. You are trying to get the same clients that I am approaching. If that is true, then the challenge for me is to demonstrate superior competence, faster responses or something else that is materially differentiating. That didn't feel exactly right to me because CI professionals seem to be quite dispersed and few in number.<br />
<br />
Then it occurred to me that my competition is actually within the clients that I might serve. It is more likely to be the people that already have (partial) responsibility for CI or influence those that might consider starting a CI function. Their mindsets, biases, histories, etc., compete with the possibility that I could actually help them in a way that was important. Knowing that the competition is already in place and has certain advantages over me helps me to better craft a counter-strategy.<br />
<br />
What do you think? Do you have a clear image of your competition? If so, how does that image lead you to effective marketing strategies for your services?<br />
