21 Choices for Fit » Where are you now? » What would be more fit to purpose? » How can we take action to move in the “right” direction? © 2014. HSD Institute. Use with permission. 21OD Forum Spring 2014

28 Your Adaptive Action » What patterns do you see in your current projects? » So what options for action do you and your clients have? » Now what will you do to play your infinite game? © 2014. HSD Institute. Use with permission. 28OD Forum Spring 2014
