The world’s rapid changes require enterprises to accurately understand their environment, execute right strategies, and
match them with proper resources - people, equipment, product lines, processes, services, etc. Spending money is easy, but determining the right direction and preparing according resources is difficult. Therefore, enterprises need a broader
perspective on their environment, a deeper understanding of resources, and long-term insights into their own problems
while minimizing costs.
A major problem is that everyone has path dependence, and no enterprise is omniscient. When an organization's strategy
or methodology needs significant adjustments and quick matching with new resources, the existing resource system often
fail. For example, IBM's failure in PC operating systems, Nokia's failure in modern smartphones, and almost all major fuel
car manufacturers' failure in electric vehicles, not to mention the lack of basic knowledge in law, standards, information
security, and global markets among numerous small and medium-sized enterprises, leading to massive failures in scaling.
At the macro level, forming a relatively reliable strategic understanding is no longer difficult. Through big data, think tanks’ professional consulting services, and the latest AI large language models (LLM) with real-time searching and reasoning
processes (such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude), the likelihood of corporate executives making low-level mistakes on
strategy level has greatly decreased. In other words, the macro-level vision has never been so clear like today.
The key issues are at the mid-micro levels - how to quickly clarify facts and identifying reliable resources?
1. Insufficient and scattered data - much data is missing, unreliable, and scattered across various competing platforms.
2. Lack of advanced philosophical ideas and a unified perspective to observe and describe other resource entities.
3. Difficulty in determining the depth and reliability of data, and lack of tools to prompting or enriching missing data.
4. Difficulty to store, integrate, deduplicate, and share data - most major data platforms are controlled by giant technology
vendors, and none of these tools or even the data truly belong to the enterprises.
5. Existing resource partners face similar mid-low-level issues, causing enterprises to fall into an information bubble.
