# The Half-Life of Strategy Is Collapsing—How Boards Can Reframe Effective Oversight

This Forbes piece argues that strategy is being challenged more frequently and its shelf life is shrinking, leaving boards exposed when relying on periodic oversight models. It proposes a 'Kinetic Board' operating model designed to test assumptions early, interpret weak signals continuously and adjust before reaction becomes the only option—filling a gap left by existing Deloitte, PwC and McKinsey frameworks. For SEA scale-up boards, it offers a concrete operating rhythm to close the gap between decision and follow-through.
