Congratulations<\/strong>! You are the new “head fishing engineer” for the north-Atlantic tuna fleet! People love tuna, and your fleets need to bring more in each year. So you get to work designing new netting, tow-cables, and fishing procedures to maximize your hauls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s just one catch. People love tuna, but they HATE killing dolphins. And if you kill dolphins you can\u2019t put the much-coveted \u201cdolphin safe\u201d sticker on your tuna cans. The two species are roughly the same size, have similar prey, and are in a habit of swimming near each other. So how are you supposed to catch tuna and NOT catch any dolphins?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s break this down, you need to prevent something bad from happening (killing dolphins) but do so in a way that doesn\u2019t impede your desired outcome (catching tuna). This, is the dolphin dilemma.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a sec to think of a few ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got a few?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold Up…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before we go further, you may be wondering \u2013 \u201cwhat the hell Thomas, why should I care how fisherman catch their tuna?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is because, no matter your industry, we all have to deal with dolphin-dilemmas. Take a few examples;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banking<\/strong>: <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Your clients demand that you prevent bad actors from taking their money, but they also demand quick and seamless access to their money at anytime, anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health Care<\/strong>: <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Your hospital is home to some of the most valuable (and addictive) drugs on the planet. You need to keep these locked up and carefully monitored, but you also need your nurses to be able to get key drugs at a moment\u2019s notice or lives will be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology<\/strong>: <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

To maintain a safe social ecosystem you need to quickly identify and remove dangerous content from your platform. But you also need to make it easy for good content creators to join and add their creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, our true north <\/a>is to save all<\/strong> the “dolphins”, while catching all<\/strong> the “tuna”, but much like the Kobayashi Maru \u2013 there is no perfect solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what is an equivalent dolphin-dilemma in your industry? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And how do you solve it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
