In his recent best-seller Same as Ever, celebrated author Morgan Housel has a chapter devoted to Evolution, specifically how it plays out in business. There is a pattern in how everything evolves, as in business as well. Why do some become successful, while others languish? The million dollar question has a simple answer, paying attention to detail and ensuring your response to success is not to relax, matter the most. The factors you paid attention to when you were not successful, simply fail to get your FOCUS, when you are successful. The result: Evolutionary failure or at least moving towards it, is the sum total of Morgan’s argument.Â
Hence, for businesses, it is important to be keyed into details and be aware of how evolution models play out in lulling management into complacency. Awareness of the business lifecycle is, of course, non-negotiable. Having said that, let’s start with a success story that has continued on to date, and offer you evolution model templates.
In 1960, a small pizza shop was established in Michigan, which went on to become the largest pizza joint in the world! You guessed it right — Domino’s. With $8.6 billion in revenue, today they have operations in more than 90 countries and happen to deliver one in every three pizzas in the US.
How did they do it?Â
Besides comprehending customers’ flavour preferences, they also invested in understanding their needs as buyers. Over the years, Domino’s have improved customer experience and stayed ahead of the competition. From introducing Pizza trackers to adapting voice ordering and zero—click ordering to Domino’s AnyWare, delivery vehicles with in-built ovens, and the classic—delivery within 30 minutes—they have done it all!
Having evolved with technology, they have stayed on top of their game.Â
