In storytelling, there’s a structure that the vast majority of stories follow, regardless of the format: introduction, rising action, conflict, falling action, resolution. The rising action and the conflict are what give the story its appeal—they’re the source of all the tension that keeps things moving forward. They’re where the stress and the drama live; they keep the story interesting.
That said, when it comes to your business (and its IT in particular), you want its story to break this format. You want things to be, for lack of a better term, boring.
Why “Boring” is a Good Thing When It Comes to Business Technology
First off, we need to make one thing perfectly clear: “boring” isn’t entirely a bad thing.
Is it typically associated with monotony? Sure, but in terms of your business and its operations, monotony—the same thing happening over and over, ad infinitum—kind of means things are going the way they should.
“Boring” means that things are predictable and to be expected, and when you’re running a business, these are great.
Wouldn’t you prefer to go about your day confidently, knowing that your tools will work, or would you rather have a wrench unexpectedly thrown into the machine and your operations thrown into a tailspin?
I know what I’d prefer.
This is the difference between reactive and proactive IT support. Instead of waiting until something’s already being impacted to address a problem, the problem is foreseen and prepared for (if not mitigated entirely).
From an objective standpoint, the first option makes a better movie. Imagine Jumanji if Alan Parrish had never started playing the game back in 1969, or The Matrix if Neo had chosen the blue pill. Those are certainly different stories from the ones we know.
In reality, however, the second option is the only one you should accept for your business.
