Domino is a board game in which players place pieces edge to edge on a table, each either identical or marked with numbers. Each piece can also be distinguished by its ridge – used to easily identify it – as well as by an invisible center line that visually divides it into two squares (identified either blankly or identically patterned) or grids of dots known as “pips”, so they may then be stacked to form tracks and 3-D structures such as towers and pyramids.
Domino games involve one player lining up either one domino or several edge-to-edge dominoes against each other to try and cause all of them to collapse, with successive pieces falling on top of previous pieces until all have collapsed. Although most people play dominoes simply for entertainment purposes, dominoes can also help develop math and social skills through various educational games that teach counting concepts.
Business professionals often refer to domino as a metaphor for how actions of companies affect both their customers and competitors. A successful domino, like its namesake, leaves an imprint upon its environment that leads to greater success for its actions – whether that means better customer service, higher product quality or even improved employee satisfaction levels.
Successful businesses can also be judged based on their internal structure. Leaders within an organization must prioritize tasks according to impact and value while still maintaining teamwork and overall direction. Companies with clear visions for their future and willingness to put in effort towards reaching their goals demonstrate effective leadership.
No matter the method employed by writers when crafting their stories, creating captivating narratives boils down to one simple question: What happens next? Using the domino effect, authors can build compelling plots by considering how each scene and action affects subsequent scenes and actions.
Lorne Whitehead of the University of British Columbia conducted an experiment in 1983 that demonstrated the power of dominoes. By stacking 13 dominoes together in an orderly geometric progression, each domino was pushed over by about one million times its own size; eventually reaching a height of six feet! This experiment amply demonstrated its effect.
When it comes to business dominoes, an effective match requires significant time and effort for completion. These “good dominoes” help achieve specific goals with lasting effects on the company itself; examples may include creating a financial plan, revamping marketing tactics or streamlining college recruitment processes – identifying these types of dominoes will have a dramatic effect on its efficiency and profitability.
