There is more than one type of surprise





 Surprise, there is more than one type:

  • A bolt from the blue
  • An issue is recognized, but the direction of the expectation is wrong 
  • You know what will happen, approximately when it will happen, and in what order, but the timing is off
  • The expected duration of the event proves wrong 

Need to think about the quality or characteristics of a surprise to better deal with it as an organization. Not all surprises are the same, so the response will be different.
