A sense of urgency

Já em Março me referi a este sentimento de inércia, de procrastinação, de adiamento que permeia e infiltra tantas e tantas organizações.

Geoffrey Moore afirma-o de forma mais incisiva neste trecho do livro "Dealing with Darwin":

"In a declining category, management must recognize that the problem is not one of company performance, although it may be exacerbated by it. This concept is often difficult to grasp for execution-oriented management teams who are used to succeeding through outperforming the competition. Just remember, you are now in a lemmings race, and the goal is not to come in first, it is to get out of the race before you drive your company off a cliff.
The fundamental options in a declining market are to renew or harvest and exit. Renewal represents a category shift, meaning new target customers, new market needs, new products, and a new value chain, potentially a new sales channel, new pricing, new competitors. It is not, therefore, something you can execute under the heading of business as usual. Instead, you must mobilize the entire enterprise on a life-or-death journey that gets no second chance. You cannot iterate your way to renewal. You have to get it right the first time."
