 *Unclear communication: creates confusion and slows any change in the organization. Leaders can help improve communications by forcing two simple questions: What is your elevator pitch? and What's the one page summary of your team? Then, you can dig in and begin to help teams and individuals adjust how they communicate and use more precise and effective language.
 *Myopia:  In organizations struggling to move more quickly there is an over-emphasis of looking at things in the short term. When myopia- or nearsightedness - seems to be ingrained in an organization, the day-to-day operational activities take priority over longer term planning and unintended consequences abound.

-The adaptive enterprise is said to have several advantages over enterprises that are less adaptive. In traditional businesses, large inventories may be built up, tying up capital. Conversely, lack of foresight can result in spot shortages. Adaptive enterprises strive to eliminate unproductive or redundant labor, information, and materials. Cash flow is improved. Sudden crises, caused by a cutoff in the supply of a single item or resource, rarely occur. Adaptive enterprises adjust operations quickly and smoothly to meet rapid changes in the market, the introduction of new technologies, and shifting business priorities. Over time, this attracts and keeps a loyal client or customer base. In the long term, adaptive enterprises evolve with changes in the global economy so that their products or services never become obsolete.

 *The ability to escape the "Big Opportunity Trap": This "trap" is based on a flawed assumption that a firm can accurately anticipate the future revenue potential of a new business idea. As a result many small but profitable ideas may be killed off prematurely as "too small", when they could have served as ideal bridges to tremendous growth opportunities. In isolation, at the beginning, we are typically clue-less when trying to determine if a new idea is a stand-alone idea worth "only" $100MM, or a bridge to significant new, enduring, and profitable revenue stream.
 *The ability to help firms avoid wasting their R&D investment. In most firms, ideas with substantial growth potential are developed by technologists and researchers in R&D, but - due to lack of nurturing and incubation by "the business" - are left to die on the vine and never result in any revenue growth. An Adaptive Enterprise will assign talented and influential executives to oversee the transition of new initiatives out of R&D and into a place in the business where they can grow in response to major opportunities. The result is a profitable connection between dynamically changing customer needs, and new capabilities developed by your firm.
-*Self-reinforcing nature: As your enterprise adopts the Sense & Respond techniques inherent in becoming an Adaptive Enterprise, it will naturally become more of a Learning Organization and experience a Kaizen like process of continual self improvement and learning. As you become progressively better at "Sense & Respond" you will begin to "anticipate and preempt" and will find yourself reacting in time with market conditions. By learning to sense and interpret signals from customers, you can adapt to their changing needs before a formal request is even articulated, allowing your firm to "get there first" and establish a dominant leadership position. Traditionally, this level of rapid reaction has been the domain of startups and risk-taking entrepreneurs. By adopting an Adaptive Enterprise approach, you can preempt the likelihood of newcomers entering your market and stealing market share with new value offerings.
