Driving Through the Fog: Managing at the Edge

TOOL KIT - Scanning the Periphery - Major threats to a company's business often start as weak signals on the periphery of an industry. Use this new framework to sharpen your peripheral vision and to answer the question, "What don't we know that might matter?"

Day, George S., (2005)

GATHERING INTELLIGENCE - How to Make Sense of Weak Signals - There's no sense in denying it: Interpreting weak signals into useful decision making takes time and focus. These three stages can help you see the periphery — And act on it — Much more clearly.

Schoemaker, Paul J.H., (2009)
