Companies need to be like clever chameleons. Chameleons change colors to talk to each other and hide from danger. Similarly, companies need to change their goals and objectives when things around them change. It’s like being smart and adapting to stay safe in a big world.

Chameleons can see all around them without moving their eyes, showing how being aware helps them survive—just like companies need to stay aware of what’s happening.
