Sometimes success breeds success, but it can also be
seductive and dangerous when you get “stuck” at a plateau of good fortune and
prosperity. When business is good, it may seem obvious that you keep doing what
you are doing so well. Profit and cash flow are great, but when they tempt you
into a “heads down, nose to the grindstone”-type of attitude, you might well lose
touch with your customer base.
Improving your current processes little by little is great!
Except when it prevents you from trying some radically new things on a regular
basis. Without innovation, every business will run into the ground, eventually.
Business agility is about capitalizing on new opportunities – and doing so
fast!
For some reason, success and taking deliberate and
controlled risks don’t always go together so well. Especially when those
innovations appear to chip away at the existing business model. But you know
what: if you don’t, the competition will. It is only a question of who will
get there first…
