After the book, lectures and workshops, we got a lot of feedback from hungry clients wanting to bite deeper into the knowledge of Sharkonomics.

The Sharkonomics consultancy services are based on the sharks’ 420 million years’ experience of development and focus on how companies can dominate their respective markets and take market share from their significantly larger competitors.

Some examples of Sharkonomics consultancy services: 

• Move or Die: Find the right level of evolutionary balance
• Implementation of Sharkonomics’ attack and defence strategies
• Focus on getting all parts of the whole organization to work together towards the same goal in the same way as the shark’s muscles, finns and teeth work together and move the body in a co-ordinated way towards the clear goal of creating growth and dynamism.
• Efficient move towards the goal of the company: Focus and relevance create an efficient organization. By letting rationality and not emotion guide the organization, fat will turn to muscle which will help the organization move ahead.
• The ”sonar” identifies what’s in the water (the market), maps the total picture and draws relevant conclusions. Risk analysis and environment analysis find possible holes to fill in.

Warm thanks to sharks and friends/clients who have given us input on how to package our services and swim forward.

Professor Philip Kotler is a big thinker, check out his new book: Democracy in Decline: Rebuilding its Future.

Here is one passage from the topic of this strong book:

There is a disturbing interaction between Capitalism, our economic system, and Democracy, our political system.  Features and trends in our Capitalist system are doing great damage to our Democracy.  The major problem in our Capitalist system is the growing level of income inequality.  There will always be some income inequality but it has moved to a level that is corrupting both Capitalism itself and our Democracy.  Capitalism is doomed to grow at a much slower rate because most of the gains in income are going to the 1%.  During the recovery from the 2008 recession, income of the top 1% increased by 31% but just 0.4% for 99% of Americans.  A great number of our workers earn less today in real terms than they earned in the 1970s.  So Capitalism and capitalists are dooming themselves by not paying higher wages to our workers and opposing raising higher taxes on the rich, many of whom even pay a lower income tax rate than their own office and factory workers.
