‘The economy and companies are like a river and its sediments, respectively. In flow times, when the river is cheerful and energetic, it has the capacity to carry a relatively large amount of sediments (companies) of all sorts. However, in ebb times, its downtimes, when the river is sluggish and inert, its capacity reduces, and the coarse sediments (companies) will sag to its bottommost, creating ripples of sand and stones—the burial ground of its casualties.
In contrast, only its fine sediments (companies) will continue with the flow. Those sand ripples are the alluvium—the fertile soil of those fine companies who survived. Your lifeline to stay on top of the game along with the finest sediment flow is a well-built inclusive strategy and its fine execution.’ Jon Ane.
