adaptive strategies
Changing problem-solving methods
Adaptive strategies are approaches that adjust to changing conditions rather than following a fixed plan.
The term appears across fields: in biology, organisms develop adaptive strategies for survival; in business, companies adopt adaptive strategies to respond to market shifts; in psychology, people use adaptive strategies to cope with stress.
The emphasis is on flexibility—reading circumstances and modifying behavior accordingly.
