In this episode of The Wisepreneurs Podcast, host Nigel Rawlins interviews Peter Compo, author of The Emergent Approach to Strategy. Drawing on 25 years of experience at DuPont, Peter illustrates how businesses can adapt and thrive in unpredictable environments by employing an emergent thinking framework. 

He emphasises that identifying key obstacles, eliminating bottlenecks, and guiding decision-making are crucial steps in maintaining progress, especially when a shift in direction becomes necessary.

Peter’s methodology offers a structured design framework to manage uncertainty, which is very relevant for independent professionals and consultants, especially those in their sixties. He underscores the value of remaining creative, continuously adapting, and tackling challenges with both discipline and flexibility. Peter’s insights deliver practical advice to help you survive, grow, and thrive in your business.

Key Themes:

• Emergent Strategy: How businesses can adapt to change and grow through emergent thinking.
• Overcoming Bottlenecks: Identifying and tackling the biggest obstacles to success.
• Adaptive Design: How strategic rules help guide decision-making in uncertain times.
• Creative Innovation: Applying concepts from music and science to business strategy.
