Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
A recent article from Harvard Business Review stated, “Under uncertainty, traditional approaches to strategic planning can be downright dangerous.”
The danger comes from “underestimating uncertainty.” The nation is more aware than ever of the possibilities of restrictions, shut-downs, shipment delays, quarantined employees and the lingering possibilities of future shutdowns.
2021 may require planning with multiple strategies based on potential outcomes―providing the opportunity to pivot as drastic measures are implemented. Plan knowing that plans may change.
Proverbs 19:21 says, “There are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the counsel of the Lord will stand.”
With all the uncertainty, living at peace with uncertain plans is possible. Ultimately, God’s plan will prevail. Ultimately God is in control. The uncertainty ahead in 2021 is not uncertain to God.
