D2 Turbulence 1.Carter et al. (2009) suggest that turbulent environments, such as those outlined in Global Trends 2040 (National Intelligence Council [NIC], 2021), offer particular challenges to creating strategies in the traditional sense. · React directly to the assertions in both readings. Bring at least two, credible, fresh (no more than six months old) resources into a mindful conversation about collaborative development of strategy when the information at hand is incomplete and when the situation as a whole is uncertain. · As you conduct this conversation, be sure to distinguish between your personal opinions or preferences and observable events or established theory. 2. The need to work virtually adds yet another layer of complexity to developing and executing strategy. · In what ways did you find the assigned teamwork videos (Harvard Business Review, 2020a; 2020b) and reading (Ferrazi, 2015) helpful? Were there other things you'd hoped to learn from them but did not? · What one additional, credible resource on virtual collaboration do you recommend for others in the class? How might using that resource introduce additional ways of enhancing decision-making for virtual teams? Reminder When crafting answers to these questions, please remember to integrate and cite the assigned materials. Consider adding support from other sources for your assertions. As you do, remember to both cite and reference all added support. · Be sure to make direct connections between the assigned materials and your ideas. Include a reference list at the end of your submission. The essay you submit need not be huge, but should be at least 350–400 words long. Your replies to others should highlight and comment on any new insights you gained from reading their essays, as well as noting how ideas in their essays did or did not change your own viewpoint. · Try to respond to learners (at least two) with perspectives different from your own in order to demonstrate your understanding of other frameworks and outlooks.
