There’s no denying the similarity between the watchwords for businesses today and the Olympic motto, Citius, Altius, Fortius — that is, “Faster, Higher, Stronger.” Companies today are under pressure to scope, design, and bring products and services to market before their competition. Marketing messages must create an immediate impact to drive demand, and costs and inefficiencies must be reduced to the bare minimum. All-out commitment to the business or product strategy is expected — unless the strategy doesn’t appear to be working; in that case, the business (and its employees) must immediately change course, adopt a new strategy, and push forward with the new approach.
