Hope Is Not a Strategy. Do You Have a Plan for the Unexpected?
Most businesses plan for one version of the future—the one they hope will happen. But hope isn’t a strategy.

❌ Hope won’t prepare you for an economic downturn.
❌ Hope won’t keep your best customers from leaving.
❌ Hope won’t protect you from supply chain disruptions or labor shortages.

What happens when reality doesn’t match the plan?

That’s where High-Involvement Planning (HIP) comes in. It’s not about guessing where your business is headed—it’s about preparing for multiple futures so you’re never caught off guard.

✅ Financial clarity: Your team understands the numbers, so they can make smarter decisions.
✅ Scenario planning: You don’t just have Plan A—you have Plans B, C, and D ready to go.
✅ Company-wide alignment: Everyone knows the long-term vision and how they contribute to it.

💡 Think your plan leaves no stone unturned? Let’s stress-test it.

Most companies wait for the right conditions to scale.
But the best companies create their own conditions.

💡 They invest when others pull back.
💡 They optimize before they expand.
💡 They don’t let uncertainty dictate their decisions.

Join us TOMORROW for our roundtable with Jack Stack and learn how to scale wisely.

Scalability doesn’t start when you grow.
It starts before you grow.

❌ It’s not about hiring when you’re already overwhelmed.
❌ It’s not about fixing inefficiencies after they’ve become roadblocks.

It’s about building the capacity to scale before you need it.

How do you do that?
That’s exactly what we’re covering in our roundtable with Jack Stack on February 13th.

“It’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.”

The secret to a resilient business?

Plan to be wrong.

We know that true resilience is about more than surviving downturns; it’s about thriving through them.

Jack Stack says it best: “Two sure ways to kill a company are through arrogance and through ignorance”

GGOB & contingency planning helps drive both out of your culture.

Instead of running on assumptions, we focus on building “trapdoors”—plans that prepare us for anything.

t’s a mindset shift: when you plan for the worst, you don’t just reduce fear—you make room for growth, innovation, and opportunities to thrive.

In this clip, we share how contingency planning fuels a culture of adaptability.

Join us on November 7th for an exclusive roundtable with Jack Stack. We’ll dive into the strategies and mindsets that build teams ready for anything—whether it’s a downturn or unexpected growth.

💡 Key Takeaways:

✳️Resilience through Readiness: Confidence replaces fear when teams know they’re prepared.
✳️Innovation from Adversity: High-involvement planning (HIP) turns obstacles into growth opportunities.
✳️Future-Proofed Talent: When people have the tools and foresight, they’re empowered to act boldly.
