This framework is a odyssey, a metaphor for a company’s journey in constant search for innovation and the need for evolution and adaptation to new challenges and opportunities.
The journey starts in the jungles of nailing a new venture, a dangerous and unpredictable trek demanding frugality and speed, constant adaptation, iteration, and agility to figure out the new value proposition.
For those who survive the jungle, a mountain lies ahead, demanding of the scaling entrepreneurs, endurance, and persistence in the execution of the business model. But equipped with new operations tools, and revised behaviors, reaching the new heights of success is an exhilarating venture.
And to the very few that make it down the foothill, the ocean awaits, deceivingly calm but extremely dangerous, inviting the now mature and sophisticated organization to start sailing under the steady hand and broad vision of an experienced leader and her complex navigation board.
The heroes of this journey, the rule breaking nailers, the organized scalers, and systematic sailers, must constantly evolve, adapt and adjust their entrepreneurial operations to the new environments and the challenges that they each bring.
So, if you are ready for this journey, it's time to get going...
