Suppose you lead a small and flat organisation that delivers internet services as middle man. Suppose you lead an ISP. People can take each others place in your organisation. People are quite capable and the organisation is flexible. But overall your company or aggregate uses a variable pattern and now and then you have to put out fires.

Western “knowledge is power” political mindsets desire a grip on the internet, and to regulate the flow of information and knowledge. New regulations appear from the political above as if “live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking dead horse behind” is motto. And each new regulation could potentially ignite some new fire.

Is this a pounce opportunity?

In general, opportunity statements can be used as foundation for operations. If you believe there is no opportunity, maybe best to re-evaluate your market instead, or re-evaluate your product/service.

If you are building un-finished products to be customised and fitted for particular contexts, like we are in Satir Workshops, and/or if you plan on licensing your product, this will only work if your ally is able to use it to compete more successfully. And an opportunity statement can be helpful for introducing an opportunity to a potential ally. Moreover, understanding of requirements of competitors can be used to look for fitting allies in the landscape.
