Successful businesses of the future will be those that function in harmony with nature and its phenomena.Disregarding nature’s rhythm may not have a direct impact on businesses but surely an indirect one. Here is a blog post that sheds light on how on the coming full moon aka “The wolf moon”, organizations can make their structure more resourceful and infuse discipline and communication.

A business inspired by nature’s phenomena is one that is immensely strong, connected, receptive to change, value-led, and optimized. That’s not to say organizations completely rely on the natural marvels; rather, they follow a set of behaviors and qualities that simply echo nature’s law upon which our lives and businesses depend.

A full moon is one of the natural occurrences that proffers a huge source of energy that is often overlooked or most likely considered incredulous. Many sections only limit it to the folklore that encompasses mythical creatures like werewolves and vampires. However, as per various research, the full moon affects human behaviour, and thus business settings.

Especially, companies that thrive on communication, whether with partners or customers, can seek inspiration from natural events such as Full moon.

Let us find out what businesses can adapt from the energy oozed by the coming Full moon on 10th of January, 2020.

Strategy Formulation

Strategy building is an important part of any business establishment. It plays an important role in helping companies achieve their goals, deal with competitors, address the needs and expectations of customers, and examine the potential roadblocks for driving growth and sustainability. With respect to technology, companies can either opt for horizontal integration or vertical integration.

With that being said, for better results strategy needs to evolve. Because succumbing to stagnancy can be the worst for any business. And the coming luminous moon that unveils the Wolf spirit can be the most fertile day for companies to take a closer look at their existing strategy and see whether it needs changes. In simple terms, on the forthcoming Full moon day, businesses can exhibit leadership traits and take new strategic initiatives.

Embrace Change, Not Fear It

Many businesses still depend on legacy systems to connect their applications whether on-premise or cloud-based that are costly and unproductive in most cases. These systems, due to their long lifespans and poor integration approach tend to be brittle and obsolete. Some studies report that fear of change is one of the major reasons for this barren dependency.

Organizations like these that fear change can seek inspiration from the Full moon to address the fear and make a calibrated move.

For starters, they can switch to a modern integration platform for seamlessly integrating myriad applications and systems. It does so by creating a strong integration environment (and not a brittle one) that more collaborative and productive.

A plethora of integration vendors today are offering solutions (on-premise, cloud-based, or hybrid) that can help companies take a leap of faith to pave a path for long-term success. Some of the most important benefits offered by such solutions are:

  • Business process optimization through automation
  • Reduced cost and bottlenecks
  • Improved business intelligence
  • Higher productivity and streamlined communication
  • Increased Flexibility and agility

Simply put, organizations that have been relying on legacy systems and ignoring the importance of modern integration platforms can use this Full moon day to make the change and reap benefits mentioned above and more.

Incubate Creativity and Innovation

The Full moon symbolizes creativity and innovation. Modern business minds can tap into the energy unveiled on the 10th of Jan to build an innovative, integrated environment that encourages connection, communication, and collaboration. By doing so, they open the flow of information from distinct applications or systems across ecosystems to be more agile and responsive. As a result, organizations can meet the changing customer needs in real-time and unlock innovation through faster time-to-market and agility. Further, enterprises can improve the productivity of the integration task force by automating business processes, reducing errors and streamlining business intelligence. In this manner, they can not only accelerate business proficiency but also become more aggressive in pursuing new revenue streams.

Strategy building, change, and creativity will be at its peak on this Wolf moon. Engage with its energy to lead the pack with a howl.
