From changing markets to unexpected challenges to potential new opportunities, there are many reasons a business owner may consider a pivot. Before making that leap, however, it’s important to ensure the decision is well-planned—and, more importantly, that the plan is well-executed.
Laying the proper foundation is critical if a pivot is to produce the desired results. Dr. GB Hewawasam explains the first measures he would recommend to his clients for navigating a prospective pivot below.
“Most of the time, we are influenced by our emotions, making it difficult for us to find the right kind of reasoning without first calming down our emotions. Hence, it is very important to stay calm. Use reason to discover the right sort of thinking. This is the primary approach when attempting to pivot a business.”
