The object of chess is to stay three steps ahead, a strategy also employed by businesses who use chess tactics to ‘ thrive in the face of incalculable complexities and unexpected change’.
It struck me today how invaluable these tactics are in planning my work and involvement in other projects over the coming year.
Although there is still work to be done over the Stockholm trip, it’s at this time that wheels must be set in motion for the next stage…September, October, November – the Liverpool Independents Biennial, among other things.
I feel like I can’t be bothered as autumn is such a long way away, but If I don’t set it up now, it’ll be too late. It’s cold, I’ve done my back in, I’m off work with it and all I want to do is sit and watch TV all day. It while I was watching TV ( Criminal Minds to be exact) that I heard the chess analogy and it made me realise how true it was.
Yes, there are things to do for SUPERMARKET, but I think now all we can do is let it all fall into place and think about what comes next. It really is easy to devote all our energy into one project and assume it will be springboard to a rosy future.
Yep….. keeping moving…….keep planning…
