Strategy Movement
Strategy is knowing who you are before knowing your direction towards a goal and moving towards achieving this goal while minimizing the risk during movement. Do we need to go in one direction as has been emphasized for fear that going in many directions dissipates our energy? But then the question that hovered on my mind is if so, why then different parts of a plant grow in different directions? For example, roots grow downwards with gravity while the stem grows upwards against gravity? It is because plants make the most of their location and aspect. Plants grow towards light and if light direction changes plants reorient to utilize the light to the maximum degree possible.
Do different parts of an organization need to move in different directs as parts of a plan do?
Marine animals move in waters, but their movement types vary. Animals that share the same location tend also to very in their movement types. These movements include ballooning, soaring, jumping and looping. Movement types vary in aquatic media and include swimming, generation of a wave thrust by oscillating the body from side to side, oscillation of body up and down and use of walking legs that turn into swimming paddles and rolling self into a wheel.
Even though plants and animals that share same location vary in their movement types to suit their bodily structures. Do businesses in the same location need to find the movement towards goal that are aligned with their structures. I say yes. A fish doesn’t swim like a whale. A pigeon doesn’t fly like a falcon. Size and bodily strength have their say. When businesses grow, they may need to consider their movement type. Risk changes and so the movement should change accordingly. Is it gliding, soaring, ballooning, or what?
A small business is like a small fish. When it grows and flies to new successes and traits it needs to consider changing its movement type.

Some plants move towards light; other plants move in the opposite direction for reasons. Should a business move in the direction of the light of information, or better to move against it? Some businesses may benefit from the direct exposure to the lights of cameras; others may do better in the opposite direction of the lights of cameras. For example, the light of information may reveal that a business should discontinue to work in its traditional business and hide away to develop a new direction. Kodak failed to do this, and the price was high. Businesses that wish to stay in light may forget that lights soon will disappear and find themselves in the darkness of loss and bankruptcy.
Plants and animals which share the same location have strategies that is consistent with who they are. They move in one or more directions to minimize risk and maximize the use of their bodily structures. They don’t copy others. Do business need to learn more from nature and how it works? I say better if they do.
What is your say? Please share your thoughts.

Thank you Preston \ud83d\udc1d Vander Ven. I agree that with your comment and endorse it. I may only add that we need also to have an agile strategy because our strategy should adapt with the environment, depending on whether we are "wolves or goats". Thank you also for sharing the buzz.

Great points you add dear Jerry.I must add that the adaptive cycle applies to all living systems. In fact it was developed for forests first and then its value extends to societal systems as well. All living systems, whether plants or humans, go through the four phases of the same adaptive cycle consisting of, growth, conservation, release and self-reorganization. So, plats which are living and growing share the same cycle as humans. May be this is the link between the human societies and the "plant societies".

Solid thoughts your are my friend David Navarro L\u00f3pez. You remind me of famous contractors in Jordan. Once they start digging the ground for a new construction people hurry to buy neighboring plots. The increase in demand increases land prices. This allows the construction company to up their selling prices. Their value is in the increase of selling prices not because of the quality of finished dwellings; more, because of increasing the value of the construction site.

Again thank you for your concise comment Roberto De la Cruz Utria. I shall be elaborating on these issues in my forthcoming buzz. in my comment One key point in your comment is "move in various directions and establish changes in strategies that allow you to continue in the direction of light and avoid broken banking". In adaptive complex systems, and organizations are, moving is different trajectories to reach a fitness peak.

Your comment is insightful Michael Alfes. You are right as we can't avoid risk-taking in decision-making. If we don't then we don't act.

You bring a hugely relevant point my dear Clau Valerio. I love the analogy that seeds germinate in the darkness of soil before germinating and get exposed to the light. I love this analogy and it is relevant to many new seeds of ideas that need first to germinate in the darkness before considering bringing them to light and the attention of others. This is quite consistent with what I suggested in the buzz, but you give extra weight to the idea.

Dear Tausif Mundrawala- you said it all in one eloquent line "we tend to feel uneasy while warming up but as the time progresses our body easily adapts all the movements required to complete the action". This is a great wisdom and reflects reality. Actions are needed to turn dreams and vision into reality. The start is always tedious, but with continuing exercise we build up endurance. I fully concur with your wisdom my friend.
