Neste blogue sou um apologista da subida na escala de valor, da adopção de propostas de valor associadas à diferenciação (flexibilidade ou inovação) em detrimento do preço mais baixo.
Como não podemos competir e alimentar aumentos de produtividade pelo preço mais baixo, devemos procurar abandonar o combate da eficiência e das economias de escala e apostar no numerador da equação da produtividade.
Compreendo pois, perfeitamente, o sentido destas palavras:
“In the industrial-era model, companies focus on efficiency above all else—on getting things done at the lowest cost possible. In the name of efficiency they boil their business operations into routinized practices that suppress the creative instincts of their workers, who become standardized parts of a predictable machine. They not only suppress the creative instincts of their workers, they ultimately suppress the individuals themselves. The push-driven programs of these institutions require standardization and predictability. But individuals, especially passionate ones, are ultimately unique and unpredictable.” neste artigo da revista BW.
Precisamos de fugir deste paradigma da eficiência, da produção em massa, do ritmo elevado e concentrarmo-nos na criação de valor.
No entanto, é difícil mudar! Há quem associe a essa dificuldade a designação de O Paradoxo de Ícaro:
“Over the years, companies begin to focus on the thing that made them successful (a particular product, service, production method, etc.). Initially that serves them well and they become even better at it. It will also come at the expense of other products, processes, and viewpoints that the company considers less important and off the mark, that are discarded or brushed aside.
As a result, firms are too late to adapt to fundamental changes in their business environments such as new competitors, different customer demand, radical new technologies, or business models… It also causes organizations to carry on activities too long and too far, despite the presence of some fundamental design or organizational flaws…“
