Home > The Click Moment: Seizing Opportunity in an Unpredictable World

SHRM 2013 Strategy Conference
In this eye-opening session, you’ll hear how randomness, serendipity and, yes, luck are the new normal – and you’ll learn how smart entrepreneurs can set “bait” for their own click moments, notice them when they happen, and harness their vast potential immediately.
 

Success, we’re told, is the outcome of careful planning, analysis, and strategy. But the truth is, success is far more random than we’d like to believe. In fact, in today’s complex, volatile, and random world, the five-year business plan is obsolete, and going through the motions can no longer guarantee strong performance. If planning is out the window, what do you have? According to Frans Johansson, look for “Click Moments”—rare opportunities, often serendipitous, to change course. He will discuss how to spot Click Moments and increase their occurrence in our lives, how to place lots of high-potential bets, and how to harness the complex forces that follow into a winning strategy.
