You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat

 

Have you ever had big plans or wanted to achieve a certain goal, but felt you did not have the means to make it a reality? When you were a little kid, did you dream about driving a fast car, but have only a small, slow bicycle? Yes, we all experience this state of mind from time to time. Dreams are big; reality offers limited options.

 

Let’s call this a “bigger boat moment” based on the movie Jaws, a thriller from the seventies directed by Steven Spielberg. “You’re gonna need a bigger boat,” said police chief Martin Brody to shark hunter Quint, after spotting the three-ton killer shark pursuing Quint’s small fishing boat.

 

A similar situation can happen to potential clients in the translation services industry. A company will hire individual translators for multilingual projects, until they realize that they are gonna need that bigger boat.

 

Individual translators may be an excellent choice for translating smaller volumes of documents with relaxed deadlines. However, once the company grows and needs higher volumes, clients discover that this piecemeal approach has limited boundaries. The translators become overwhelmed with too much work and are unable to finish projects with shorter turn-around times.
