The ability to learn and adapt quickly might be the advantage that matters most.
So, how do we make relevant feedback loops shorter?
Every loop has built-in delays – between action and result, change and awareness, and learning and adaptation.
The shorter these delays, the faster we can learn and improve.
This might mean creating systems that make feedback more immediate—being able to make impacts visible sooner. Turning long-term consequences into short-term signals that serve us for the next cycle or experiment.
These systems will help us be more proactive during the cycle. To be more present, we can consistently try to learn from every interaction, learn from it, make changes, and continue.
Perhaps the challenging part is identifying which feedback loops are more relevant to our work and the change we hope to create. Which ones can give us more advantages. Which ones help us learn faster than our challenges grow.
