Episode E4.001 Working ON The Business - Stage IV

INTRODUCTION
Time to get aggressive!

We live in a difficult business environment because of unpredictability driven by political considerations. No entrepreneur can remain passive in this period of uncertainty and must make their own future; go around the bureaucrats when you can, over them when you have to.

The approach is to (1) understand customer fears and coping behaviors. This has (2) changed the rules for providing value and therefore the rules of competition. Be first and make the rules. Build your network, your (3) digital empire on cheap, ubiquitous platforms. 

The secret in this new market - running agile & lean = agilean
