  Hi Michael, your question is very much an open question.... My interpretation of early warning system may come from 1) competitive intelligence, 2) market/business intelligence (customer, supplier, strategic alliance, economy, community, environment in general) First question is effectiveness: accuracy, penetrattion, (and maybe the ability to respond appropriately) Second question is efficiency: timeliness, costs, manpower utilized as well as overall investment in system. Once you talk about unexpected events, you venture into risk management (including strategic risks). The basic tools to risk management are 1) information/intelligence to remove uncertainty, 2) real options (like call options) to capture opportunities, and 3) insurance (put options) or contingency planning to minimize losses. So, it is not about proving (leaders must make sense of heads and tails on their own) but about the level of prepareness. If your leader/boss/superior requires proof, than I suggest you seek one that demands your planning and execution instead.

  @Sik I like your desciption "dynamic tatics" (but beware not to use it as definition of strategy, it might become a tautology) I can see strategy as 'abstract thought processing' and tactics as concrete yet 'dynamic' execution
