Não saltar para a solução
Actualmente ando a desenvolver dois projectos de melhoria do desempenho, em duas empresas distintas, em sectores distintos, para reduzir a frequência com que alguns "defeitos" ou falhas organizacionais ocorrem. A metodologia seguida respeita estas etapas.
.
No final da etapa 1, com os dados recolhidos e tratados, sente-se sempre uma vontade tremenda em saltar para a etapa 3. É preciso seguir uma disciplina para passar pela etapa 2.

Tim Kastelle explica bem o fenómeno em "The Problem With Solutions"
.
"When trying to solve a problem, often the best thing to do is to leave the question open for a while. This is tough, because most people have a natural tendency to want to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
...
The problem with jumping straight to answers is that you reduce the amount of effort put into the first step, idea generation, and you put no time at all into the second step – experimenting, thinking and prototyping.
When these two steps aren’t fully explored, you end up putting all of your effort into developing conclusions and planning actions for only one answer. You may do this extremely well, but the problem is that it might not be the best answer.
People like jumping to answers because it reduces uncertainty. When you are expanding the range of options to consider, and then test out these ideas, you are increasing ambiguity. This makes many people uncomfortable.
But if you’re disciplined enough to be able to live with that ambiguity for a while, you usually end up with a better answer to your problem."

Excelente conselho!!!

A realização da etapa 2 é fundamental para evitar saltar para o que está mais à mão mas não é, necessariamente, a solução do nosso desafio. Por isso é que as empresas têm tantos problemas crónicos que demoram anos a resolver... quando resolvem.
