Why Your Business Might Already Be Extinct
What if everything you learned about managing organizations is fundamentally wrong? Picture the dodo bird-flightless, defenseless, and perfectly adapted to an island paradise without predators. Then humans arrived, and within decades, the species vanished. Now consider IBM's strategic planners in the 1980s, who accurately predicted the shift to personal computers and open architecture. They saw the future clearly, yet their organization changed nothing. Instead, executives simply raised mainframe prices to cover declining margins, watching their empire crumble in slow motion. This isn't a story about ignorance-it's about something far more dangerous: organizational equilibrium masquerading as strength. The most haunting question in business isn't whether you can see threats coming. It's whether you can respond when everything in your culture screams to maintain the status quo. Fortune 500 companies show declining survival rates: 10% attrition from 1976-1985, jumping to 30% from 1986-1990, and 36% from 1991-1996. Most likely saw competitive threats coming but couldn't translate awareness into action.
