si creemos que las señales del entorno invitan a ello
Anticipo una vuelta a las economías más locales y de pequeña escala en los próximos años. Preveo que las empresas deberán evolucionar hacia modelos más descentralizados en los que simplifiquen al máximo su cadena de valor. Estimo que una parte importante del desafío al que se enfrenta nuestro sector pasará también por entender y usar de manera preferente los canales de relación que el mundo digital pone a nuestra disposición.
Podemos planificar todos estos cambios de forma gradual, ***si creemos que las señales del entorno invitan a ello**, o podemos intentar hacerles frente, de manera traumática, cuando no haya más remedio.

if we believe the situation compels to
Probablemente yo lo traduciría:
We can plan all these changes in a gradual way, if the situation seems to be compelling us to, or we can attempt to face them head on, in a more traumatic way, when there is no other choice.
