"It is not external events themselves that cause us distress, but the way in which we think about them...It is our attitudes and reactions that give us trouble. We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them."
Epictetus from The Enchiridion written by Arrian

Turbulence

As could be seen on the video (15 seconds); perception of the TURBULENCE in the environment (stable and/or turbulent​) is determined by 4 Attributes, as follows:
Unpredictability → Uncertainty which is measured by two attributes:
1. Visibility of future - ranges from unchanged to surprise-full.
2. Speed of change – ranges from slower to faster than speed of response.
Changeability → Discontinuity which is measured by two attributes:
3. Novelty of Events - ranges from familiar to not experienced before.
4. Complexity, which contains (orthogonally):
4.1. Scope - ranging from local to global.
4.2. Decision making and/or judgements that are affected by transaction of the entities. Or the extent of importance of each of the following CHANGE(s), as they affect your decision making in the industry (impact of Decision Making on individuals, &/or groups &/or institutions): Economy, Education, environment (natural), Health, Marriage & the Family, Law & Order, Information & Media, Politics, Religion, and Other.

Anticipated
​FUTURE

The future business environment ranges from Stable to Turbulent.
Our focus is on the TURBULENT. 
Welcome to the complex, high-tech, global knowledge, interconnected, multi-cultural, multi-dimensional, multi-disciplinary, multi-educational, multi-generational, multi-ideological, ​multi-ability, multi-ethnic, and anticipated TURBULENT future business environment that impacts performance:
- positively (opportunity), and/or
- negatively (threat);
- coupled with potential crisis and/or chaos.

The events take take place in the  environment are referred to as "Strategic Issues".

Strategic
Issues

Strategic Issues: A development which is likely to have a significant impact on the performance of the firm.
H. Igor Ansoff (Father of Strategic Management)

Strategic
​Information

The data and/or information (small/big) gathered and processed about "Strategic Issues" is "Strategic Information".

---

Few
​Strategic
​Information
​Examples

​Internal Strategic Issues:  Information system components, type system, development method, in the light of historical development and perceptions of future potential.
​External Strategic issues: COVID19, Oil crisis, AI,  and stock market collapse that have:
- low predictability,
​- high uncertainty,
- high urgency,
- and positive (opportunity) and/or negative (threat) impact.

This seminar answers one question. A Fundamental Question!

The
Fundamental
​Question

​How to efficiently, effectively, and equitably source and apply strategic information for exceptional future performance during anticipated future turbulence?

What
are
the
benefits
of
​attending?

Please watch the 21 Second Video

For alignment and positioning of Vision, Misson, Objective, Goal, Strategy, Capability, Change, and Investment per Strategic Business Area to engage future TURBULENCE.  The benefits are grouped it two categories, as follow:

I. Benefits Regarding Strategic Information

Practical applicability of strategic information for turbulence perception, strategy to respond to turbulence,  and capability to support the strategy while focusing on:
1- strategic  segmentation of the firm's business,
2- perceptions and validation of future turbulence, 
3- ranking of  issues  and signals,
4- periodic &/or real-time practice,
5- prioritizing  based on impact, urgency or both,
6- actionable results foster knowing where to go with confidence while implanting checks and balances, and
7-  setting the stage for continuous sourcing data small &/or big data/information.

II. Benefits Particular to Planning Information Technology (IT)

1. Understanding IT History Sets the Groundwork for Future Innovation

2. Comprehending IT Systems Components
​
3. Familiarity with IT Development Methodologies Enhances Project Success

4. Recognizing different IT System Types can Inform Strategic Choices

5. Dealing with Resistance and IT Planning in Turbulent Times

Integrating and Differentiating
both Benefits  (I & II above)
for matching Processing Systems
to
​Future Turbulence

These key takeaways serve as a roadmap to understanding the intricate world of IT. They remind us that the industry is dynamic, and therefore flexibility, constant learning, and adaptation are necessary for survival and success.
​
​Overall, such a seminar would provide a comprehensive overview of the information technology landscape, covering its historical evolution, fundamental components, various methodologies, different system types, and the importance of agile planning and implementation in the current context. These insights would be valuable for IT professionals, business leaders, and anyone interested in understanding the role and potential of technology in business and society.

​In conclusion, this kind of seminar would provide a comprehensive overview of the IT field, equipping participants with a broader perspective and a deeper understanding of the various aspects of IT and preparing them for the upcoming challenges and trends in the industry.
