How Adaptability Turned Volatility into Opportunity

When tariffs spiked in Q1  2025, one mid‑sized firm stayed ahead by responding rapidly.

A global electronics manufacturer faced a sudden 12% increase in input costs due to export controls and tariffs. Their response:

– Re-mapped their supply chain in 72 hours

– Shifted logistics around trade obstacles

– Coordinated internal messaging to stabilise delivery and trust

– They avoided disruption—and picked up business from less-prepared rivals.

This was not improvisation. It was embedded capability.

At The Sixsess Consultancy, we teach this kind of adaptive infrastructure through:

The PEOPLE Change Leadership Framework – cultivating sustained urgency, agile innovation networks, feedback systems, and strategic clarity

The Target Operating Model Course – creating modular systems that flex with geopolitical or market shifts

The Business Growth Masterclass – practical tools to assess exposure, build foresight, and design contingency

With the World Bank forecasting global growth at just 2.3%, and the World Uncertainty Index reaching all-time highs, the competitive edge now comes from how quickly and effectively your people can act.
