On holiday, I don’t think much about work or work-related issues. But sometimes I am reminded of, for example, user adoption. Not all Office 365 users are willing to adopt the latest and greatest options. But the gannets in Shetland do embrace and adopt new options.
Gannets build their nest on cliff ledges, from seaweed and plants.
But when an additional ingredient is available, they take advantage of it. Like fish nets. We have seen quite a few gannet nets that incorporate fish nets.
Natural nests and nests with fish nets, in the colony on Noss (Shetland)
This gannet at Hermaness on Unst (Shetland) also uses green fish nets.
Gannets feed on fish, which they catch by plunging from great height and at great speed.
But when they get the option to grab a free fish offered by the skipper of a tour boat, they don’t turn it down. Then they hover quite close to the surface and to that boat. The only disadvantage is that there are many competitors for the free fish…
Two gannets grabbed the same free fish, tossed overboard by the skipper of the tour boat at Noss.
And I agree with the gannets: if a new option arises and it works for you, why not take advantage and adopt it?
