die of fear of technology instead of fishing

In the world of IT, you can often find companies and professionals who, despite the abundance of resources and opportunities, resemble those sailors from ancient stories who were dying of hunger in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by fish, but did not dare to catch them. They were afraid of poisoning, did not know how to handle the nets, or simply did not know that the fish were right under their noses. So let's transfer this sea drama to our world of technology and watch it unfold before our eyes!

Sailors in the IT world: “Catching fish? It's too hard!”

Imagine a company that has access to cutting-edge technologies, powerful cloud services, data analytics, and modern automation tools. These technologies could save their “ship,” speed up business processes, and make employees happy. But what do they do? Right, ignore all this!

Like the sailors who thought the fish might be poisonous, companies are afraid to try something new because “it might not work” or “it might be expensive.” They continue to row in the stormy sea of ​​old technology while newcomers catch fish by the bucketload and get far ahead.

“We don't know how to use it”: The danger of inexperience

Sailors could catch a fish if they knew how. Likewise, IT teams sometimes come across a new technology or software and look at it, afraid to even touch it. “Cloud technology? That’s for geeks! We’re used to our old server, which rustles like grandma’s refrigerator when we plug it in.”

The reality is that many companies are holding on to old tools, not realizing that modern automation spinning is already available, and if mastered, you can not only stay afloat, but also become a champion fisherman!

Fresh water shortage: when resources are available, but how to use them?

Even if the sailors decided to catch fish, they would face another problem – they do not have fresh water to cook it. In the world of IT, fresh water is the knowledge and skills needed to properly cook the catch of modern technology. Companies may have access to analytics tools, but someone has to understand how to cook this big data soupso that it brings benefits.

Knowledge is a resource that needs to be “put on the ship” early. If teams don’t learn, develop, and are not ready for new challenges, they will remain on dry land while their competitors confidently fish and move forward.

Fear of Change: The Poisonous Fish of Technology

Just as sailors were afraid that the fish they caught might be poisonous, modern companies are sometimes panicky afraid of any changes. The introduction of new technologies is perceived as an inevitable threat: “What if the cloud falls? What if automation takes everyone's jobs?”

They see poisonous fish where fat tuna of opportunity swim. As a result, such companies continue to drift slowly and surely toward the iceberg, ignoring the favorable winds of change that could carry them to the forefront of innovation.

Now seriously: stop dying of hunger!

If your processes are stuck at the level of “grandma's refrigerator” or you think that “cloud” is just a type of weather, it's time to reconsider your strategy. In the modern IT world, only those who are not afraid to drop the net and try something new survive.

Because what's the worst that can happen? Wouldn't you rather “die of hunger” and slowly lose your market position while others confidently “catch fish” and create products that change industries?

So – it's time to get out the nets and start fishing! Modern technology is here, and it's not that toxic.

Bottom line: Catch your own fish or live on crackers

Like sailors dying of hunger, companies that are afraid of change and are not ready to learn new things are doomed to remain in place, missing out on huge opportunities. Implementing new technologies and automating processes may seem like a difficult task, but this is what allows you to “catch fish” and move forward. And those who refuse such chances will remain on their old ship, content with the crackers of the past.

Your choice: live on crackers or swim in an ocean of possibilities with a full network of technological solutions.
