When faced by ambiguity...

Have you sat in meetings where the discussion is all over the place? This is not always a skill issue. After all, there is enough knowledge on how to run an effective meeting and principles of facilitation is a well documented science.

Non-linear, unstructured churn is a sign of people struggling with ambiguity. To get past the churn, two things need to happen:

• The participants comfort and self-confidence with the topic needs to increase
• The participants knowledge of the topic needs to increase
  

These two build on each other to clear the fog of ambiguity. To hasten the process, develop an entrepreneurial mind set.

Since the world is only going to become more complex, ambiguity will keep increasing. This implies that improvement in strategy execution practices requires us to become entrepreneurs when faced by ambiguity. Said differently, we must become comfortable with ambiguity to become an entrepreneur.

Being an entrepreneur is a state of mind, not restricted to those who start a business.
