Exploring and exploiting
First of all, I have to say that I was disapointed by the end of the Game of Thrones... But many events made me think about the way we solve our daily problems. From fire and crazyness of Daenerys way, to Wendy from Billions series, an excellent people exploiter of minds, that use personal data to achieve professional objetives.
By watching Daenerys way of exploring to discover and conquer new markets, it can be tough... involve boundaries, feelings, people and can drive you crazy and passion blindness.
In the other hand, Wendy, almost lost her license and her family to business purpose.
Extracting, Barry Reilly thoughts, the key goal of successful portfolio management in the enterprise is understanding how to balance exploring new business with exploiting proven existing business models – and how to transition businesses successfully between these domains.

Offline I realized that it would take me 2 public talks in two different languages, organize and do 2 events, 2 online, and offline meetings simultaneously and 2 SDRs (relationship discussions), go for saturday morning to a Demoday of 20 startups and finish a saturday afternoon, in the most crowed shopping mall to watch a Movie with three kids to go to my limit to almost get a burnout.
How did I realize it? I went to a doctor and he said I need to slow down, have a diet (no coffee and no chocolate) , to diminish the stress.
Online reading Rolland Dieshttps confirm it, the key to deal productively is to integrate different rationales of “exploiting” and “exploring” and to creatively orchestrate the dynamics between emerging businesses and the existing mainstream organization. And I had a wonderful experience while listening to these dilemmas in the collisions conference.
