Survivability is Adaptability

Survivability is Adaptability: Biology can provide a useful insight into the three main barriers that prevent us embracing change in the workplace.

BACTERIA ARE MASTERS AT ADAPTABILITY. The most successful bacteria have a memory that allows them to respond to a threat and execute a response almost instantly. Then, after the threat is gone, they wipe their response memory clean in order to remain fully adaptable to the environments they are in, without being hung up on how they responded to the last threat. They’re not burdened by the past. For them, survivability is adaptability.

What if, a business operating in its chosen marketplace could apply these same principles? Imagine if it were unencumbered by established processes, practices, beliefs, and infrastructure—how much faster could it react to market change?
