How Not to Be Wrong

If you invent the future, you won't be wrong. Strategy gives you the best chance of success because it helps you define the future, find your space to play and provides a consistent logic around which to organise. Strategy is about succeeding in unexpected ways, about being creative, and realistic about what's possible.

Future thinking means considering our ideal ends point? It must be respectful of constraints and it must be practical, we must be able to implement it. Why do some succeed where others fail? Is it luck or is it a strategy? What comes next for strategy in the age of data and AI? How do we organise teams to be responsive, how do we get a predictive view of the future and how do we implement strategy in a structured way to ensure success? We will explore these big questions and drill down into case studies that illuminate how you can also find your space to play.

That's right, we're also open for business. We are currently consulting to small businesses in Australia, focussing on structured and predictive strategy. That means we will work on the very front end of strategy formation, through to the detailed work of implementation. Play in the Space is the product of 20 years of work in politics and business. We look forward to working with you soon.

Stay in touch. Simon
