What are strategic shifts?

A strategic shift is when a group or person changes their plan to reach their goal, like switching from one game to another in the middle of playtime.

Imagine you're trying to build the tallest tower with your blocks. At first, you use big blocks because they seem easier to stack high. But then you notice that small blocks can fit together better and make the tower more stable. So you decide to switch, now you’re using small blocks instead of big ones. That change in how you build is a strategic shift.

Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. Maybe your big blocks keep falling over! Or maybe you see a friend building a super cool tower with small blocks and want to try that too. A strategic shift helps you adapt so you can still reach your goal, even if it means trying something new.

Just like how you might switch from drawing pictures to playing hide-and-seek when you get bored, a strategic shift is all about staying flexible and making the best choice for what you're trying to achieve.
