Our strategy would not be classical approach
but more like adaptive approach
Analysis
Plan
Implement
Classical approach
Diversification
Expanding Collecting
Adaptive approach
I should not focus too much on target and future long term plan but need to
consider/involve how to be competitive next
couple of years
Corporate strategy is not only applicable to a company strategy but also applicable for a career path
A lot of people, including me, have approached a classical strategy but a adaptive strategy would be suitable approach as a today’s uncertainly environment
I would like to be in position that I can contribute to Japan when Japan confront critical situation (assume population aging, lack of global leader & global mindset)
