"Adaptability is a core business strength. When results fall short, products, services, or strategies require immediate adjustment. Waiting until complete failure occurs is not an acceptable approach. Timely pivots often create new opportunities for growth."

Look at the one product, service, or marketing channel that has been underperforming for the last 90 days. Give yourself a hard deadline to either fix it or cut it.

What metric do you watch to determine if a strategy is failing and needs a pivot?
