  • Viability - An organization's capacity to maintain identity, create value, and thrive in changing conditions.

Unlearning

The deliberate process of releasing practices, assumptions, and mental models that no longer fit current conditions. Unlike learning—which adds capability—unlearning requires letting go of what once worked. This is uncomfortable because it challenges identity: the competencies that built a leader's credibility may be exactly what needs to change.

Viability

An organization's capacity to maintain identity, create value, and thrive in changing conditions. Unlike performance metrics that measure past success, viability assesses whether the organization can continue to exist and adapt. An organization can show strong performance while its viability erodes.
