The business landscape has been forever transformed. And, in a way, it’s still in flux. For many businesses, the way ahead is unclear and uncertain—and that can be intimidating.
In the natural world, the game is always changing. A once-mastered environment becomes foreign, volatile, and uncertain and its inhabitants face either transformation or extinction.
When life becomes unpredictable, it can help to take inspiration from outside sources. In the animal world, where next-level adaptations are the key to survival, we’ve found some wild examples of survival (and thrive-able) strategies. Let’s take a closer look:

Unforgivably frigid Antarctic waters often make the subpolar home of these fish uninhabitable. But when their environment gets tough, they get tougher. Antarctic fish have developed proteins in their blood to prevent their bodies from freezing.
Like these fish, your business can keep on swimming through volatile conditions with fortified communications.
Anole lizards are also known as the “urban lizard” because they had to make anatomical adjustments to successfully traverse the smooth, man-made surfaces of city life. Compared to their “country lizard” cousins, the anole lizard has longer legs with more sticky pads on their feet so they could be more nimble. (Kind of like an amphibian version of Spider Man.)
Similar to the anole lizard, your business can adopt new communications technology that helps you stay on higher ground in a changing landscape.
Not only are they clever and cute, but Irrawaddy dolphins are exceptionally helpful. Rather than be intimidated by the human fishing boats sharing their waters, they’ve chosen to see them as allies. They’re often spotted herding schools of fish to the boats so the fishermen can catch them more easily. The payoff: human equipment keeps more fish in one place, enabling the dolphins to take their pick too.
The lesson here is to adjust your perspective to see how you can collaborate with your customers. Communications technology that enables you to serve and interact with them more intelligently is a win-win for everyone.
These odd, patchwork-looking creatures have had to make some unique physiological and behavioral changes to survive the dangerous African landscape. Among them has been learning to communicate differently. Okapi mothers call out to their young using infrasonic sound, a frequency that their predators can’t hear.
Threatening conditions motivated these beasts to adjust their communications; similarly, your business can create its own supersonic success with omnichannel communications technology.
