In the profound portrayal of the artificial intelligence society, insightful commentary points out that humans and AI will enter a track of collaborative evolution. To stand out in the competition, companies must internalize the two core forces of “data intelligence” and “network collaboration,” forming a competitive advantage like a double helix DNA.
From the well-known lifestyle of agricultural society to the alienation brought by the industrial society, modern people are being pushed into an era of transparency. In this era, any small node, as long as it seizes the opportunity, can quickly align information and resources through the internet, building a strong collaborative network.
Facing market fluctuations, we should wisely identify the elements that represent the future. The depressed values that are hit in the current economic cycle actually provide us with a window to seize opportunities. Companies’ strategic contractions and personnel adjustments also provide space for absorbing new resources. Nevertheless, the concept of “good losers not being eliminated” mentioned in “Zhuge Liang’s Art of War” reflects the long-term value’s perseverance even more.
Failure is just a temporary setback, but strategic withdrawal at the right time to preserve core resources is a defeat with strategic insight. Although the journey of growth seems to be on an upward trend from a distance, each segment is filled with continuous connections of life and death, progress and retreat. Just like a well-performing stock that shows a steady rise on a macro scale, each cycle is still volatile upon closer inspection.
As a company’s helmsman, one’s duty is not only to execute tasks but also to understand how to make strategic decisions, judge the timing, and capture the momentum. The key lies in discerning whether the field one is committed to has long-term value. If the goal is not solid enough, seeking a more suitable direction for development may be wiser. Economic downturns will make it difficult for some organizations to survive, releasing resources to the market, and those who persist will be able to acquire more diverse resource options.
By sharing risks, reducing losses, and at the same time enhancing the system’s execution power, this is undoubtedly a wise choice. In the business world, the meaning of “good” is not sacrificing oneself for the benefit of others to the point of non-existence, but, when having sufficient resources, to have a broad mind that can accommodate the interests of others. Such “goodness” shares the same logic as “having full granaries and thus knowing courtesy” and “being wealthy and therefore kind-hearted,” where resource possessors can better consider the welfare of others.
Looking ahead to the next five years, we can foresee the rise of new consumption patterns, supply methods, and collaborative models. But no matter how it changes, the core driving force behind it is still the powerful double helix structure of data intelligence and network collaboration.
