"Firms often lose their adaptability as they mature, hindering their ability to thrive. Assessing adaptability early on is crucial for success, especially in dynamic environments. Adaptability is a complex system property requiring organizations to balance controlled and uncontrolled variables. Organizations should adopt a systems-thinking approach to evaluate adaptability effectively and embrace concepts like feedback and nonlinearity. Conventional methods like linear predictive models may not suffice. Instead, real-time information gathering within a dynamic learning framework is advocated. Inspired by discussions with Vince Barabba from General Motors, an adaptability assessment simulator aims to provide organizations with a transformative tool to navigate complex challenges and drive meaningful progress. Barabba's insights from GM's turnaround in the 1990s highlight the importance of understanding adaptability in volatile business landscapes."
