PAULGRO Consulting - Your Resource For Information Management and Consulting

Opportunity is all around us.

There are many types of opportunities that can catapult small businesses into greater prosperity. Here are some of the many types of opportunities that could appear before us at any time:

Increase sales or win more of an existing customer's business
Introduce a new product or service
Acquire a new customer or customers
Retire and sell your business - obtain a return on the outstanding reputation you've built over the years

Opportunities tend to arrive upon us without any notice, and we will not likely have enough time to fully prepare to seize it. When an opportunity does arrive, it is hardly ever at a convenient time, and even more important, the window of time to seize an opportunity will likely be very short.

How Can We Seize Opportunities?

When an opportunity arrives, we have only two choices: (1) Mobilize to seize the opportunity (if you can), or (2) Let it pass you by and wait until the next opportunity arrives.

If we let the opportunity pass by:

We wouldn't really know if or when another opportunity will present itself
When another opportunity arrives once more, it will likely be unique, unlike any other experienced before

So how do we prepare for something so random, and so unknown?

for something you don't know when it would arrive?
for something you might not know what would be required for success?
for something whose outcome you don't know?
for something you wouldn't be sure about whether its risk is worthwhile?

Answer: At any given moment, you can never be fully prepared to seize a randomly occurring opportunity.

The Good News:  You Can Prepare to Mobilize and Seize an Opportunity

You can prepare to be ready in such a way that you could quickly mobilize and take advantage as an opportunity presents itself.  The more prepared you are to mobilize, the faster you can seize the opportunity - which results in a better overall strategic position for your business!

You will need tools to help you mobilize as an opportunity arrives

Knowledge is the catalyst to help you quickly mobilize for an opportunity.  The key here is to be in a position to quickly retrieve information.

Usually, you will need automation to help you quickly store data and retrieve information. It is rare that collecting information using manual processes will enable you to mobilize quickly.

The picture shown below can serve as s a model for how you can use data and information to position yourself to seize opportunities at the moment they arrive.
