A importância do que decidimos não fazer

Ouvir o conselho de Tom Peters "To-Don't List" e recordar Gordon Ramsay. É preciso fazer escolhas:
E o que não vamos fazer é tão, ou mais importante do que a decisão sobre o que vamos fazer, como aprendi com Porter e com Terry Hill.

Quando Christensen fala das pequenas unidades de saúde vocacionadas para serviços específicos é sobre isto... isto vai estar na ordem do dia nos próximos anos na administração pública.

Já não há dinheiro para fazer tudo para todos, a toda a hora

Tudo começa por: Qual é a missão da organização?

"By September 1997, Apple was two months from bankruptcy. Steve Jobs, who had cofounded the company in 1976, agreed to return to serve on a reconstructed board of directors and to be interim CEO.
...
What he did was both obvious and, at the same time, unexpected. He shrunk Apple to a scale and scope suitable to the reality of its being a niche producer in the highly competitive personal computer business. He cut Apple back to a core that could survive.
...
Jobs cut all of the desktop models—there were fifteen—back to one. He cut all portable and handheld models back to one laptop. He completely cut out all the printers and other peripherals. He cut development engineers. He cut software development. He cut distributors and cut out five of the company’s six national retailers. He cut out virtually all manufacturing, moving it offshore to Taiwan. With a simpler product line manufactured in Asia, he cut inventory by more than 80 percent. A new Web store sold Apple’s products directly to consumers, cutting out distributors and dealers.
...
Having conflicting goals, dedicating resources to unconnected targets, and accommodating incompatible interests are the luxuries of the rich and powerful, but they make for bad strategy. Despite this, most organizations will not create focused strategies. Instead, they will generate laundry lists of desirable outcomes and, at the same time, ignore the need for genuine competence in coordinating and focusing their resources. Good strategy requires leaders who are willing and able to say no to a wide variety of actions and interests. Strategy is at least as much about what an organization does not do as it is about what it does."
