A Personal Message from

John Caslione:

Turbulence, risk and uncertainty are now the more normal condition of industries, markets and companies—the new normality, punctuated by periodic and intermittent spurts of prosperity and downturn. 

And turbulence's chaos has two major effects.  One is Vulnerability, and it is against this that companies need defensive armor.  The other is Opportunity, which needs to be exploited. 

Bad times are bad for many and good for some.  Opportunity occurs when a strong company can take away a weaker competitor’s business or even to acquire a weakened competitor at a bargain price.  Opportunity is also present when your company doesn’t cut critical costs—but your competitors do.

To counter the effects of turbulence and chaos in 2009, companies need a Chaotics management system—

a system of new strategic behaviors—for dealing with the uncertainty that comes from turbulence’s chaos.  Dealing effectively with uncertainty now becomes an inescapable imperative in 2009. 

Caslione speaks on Chaotics and helps business leaders better understand how to maneuver through turbulence, avoid chaos and exploit both to their advantage in this new age in which we’ve now entered—The Age of Turbulence.
