This week on Being Human, I speak with former bomb disposal team leader and pioneer in adaptive strategy Steve McCrone.
Adaptive strategy applies complexity thinking to the art of high-level planning to enable firms to build resilience in the face of uncertainties.
Steve is a very passionate speaker and presenter and brings this approach to life brilliantly using a strategically placed whiteboard. A good one to watch on video.

In this episode, we talk:

- Rules of thumb for bomb disposal
- The three aspects of adaptive strategy
- "Dark constraints" in organisations
- The stupidity of current/future state thinking
- Riding the new paradigm
