Business is Like a Box of Chocolates…

Warren Buffet always used to say, “Predicting rain doesn’t count, building arks does.”

Uncertainty has always been an integral part of business: there are winners and losers. But things have drastically accelerated. Black swans simply keep coming.

When was the last time you reviewed the core assumptions of your major business decisions? How much of it still holds true?

Adaptability, speed and critical reflection are the arks in business. Not taking anything for granted. Not the Chinese markets nor the cheap Russian energy, as we’ve all had to painfully learn
.
It’s not a convenient role for top managers. Challenging the narratives. Managing greed and comfort zones that lead to overexposure…

…ultimately, making sure, whatever chocolate life may bring you…it’s sweet.
