Dolphins are a perfect analogy for strategy. With grace and willingness to explore the oceans, dolphins capture the imagination and emotions of many. This intelligent mammal can swim fast and far and dares to explore new areas and opportunities. This natural appetite for risk in unknown waters is like the true entrepreneur and a prerequisite for not only surviving but thriving in the long run. The Business Landscape is a Whirlpool of Change. Just as a whirlpool rotates forever, there is a constant change in the business environment. Change can sometimes be drastic, such as the impact of a pandemic like COVID-19. It challenges us to reconsider our traditional way of thinking and doing. We can no longer just focus on the familiar and must confront ourselves with a changing marketplace. It is important to decide now what will make us competitive in the future. Dolphins are constantly swimming to new oceans and seas in search of opportunities, despite the potential risks. Our plan needs to be in place and adapted so that we can seize opportunities as the Business Landscape changes.
