Strategy adjustment
Strategy adjustment is the selection of a course of action adequate to the goal, resources, constraints and type of problem.
Definition
Strategy matching is about not choosing a tool just because it is popular, convenient, or familiar. A technical problem requires a different strategy, a relational conflict, a different one due to overload, and a different one due to lack of data. Effectiveness depends on the correspondence between the problem, context, human capabilities and the moment of action.
Key ideas
- Adequacy of the method
- Context and resources
- Correction after feedback
Practice and life
Before choosing a method, write down: the type of problem, available resources, limitations and the first measure of effect. After a week, check whether the strategy is working or needs to be changed.
Common misconceptions
It is a mistake to copy someone else's strategy without taking your own context into account. A common mistake is sticking to a method that once worked, but now doesn't fit the problem.
