We have all worked for, or dealt with companies that seem to be in a constant state of “putting out fires.†The adrenaline rush can be fun for a while but in the end it means that the focus of a business is not on the future but rather preventing a calamity from happening right at the moment.
What does it mean to be “proactive?† The image we associate with “proactivity†is one of grace under stress and the ability to foresee issues and problems far into the future. Reactive, on the other hand, implies that you don’t have the initiative. You let the events set the agenda for you or your company. In short, reactive means you are at the will of the tides tossing and turning you in whatever direction it chooses. Being reactive makes it hard to stay afloat. Proactive means you anticipate the waves even when the wind is howling and the seas are rough.
What does this all mean for your small or medium sized business? Think of being proactive in terms of your IT department. Do you know all the security risks that could “turn the tide†so to speak in a moments notice? Do you have the most up-to-date software and password protections to guard against cyber storms? Have you completed regular backups of your data? Do you have the more advanced technology? Is your IT department ready to take on issues 24/7/365?
