Só há, só pode haver um desígnio

Mais um interessante artigo de Steve Denning "Why A Firm Has Only One Bottom Line".
.
Este com a particularidade de usar uma terminologia semelhante há que uso quando abordo a temática do balanced scorecard:
.
"what about the employees? Aren’t they important?
.
What about profits? Aren’t they important?
.
What about the community? Isn’t that important?
.
What about the environment? Isn’t it important?
.
The answer to all these questions is yes. They are all important. But they are not appropriate as goals of a private sector firm.
.
Profits are a result of delighting customers, not the goal.
.
Employees are an essential means of delighting customers, not the goal.
.
Being responsive to the community and to the environment are aspects of the important value of sustainability.
.
You can have multiple means, multiple results and multiple values. But in the real world, an organization can only effectively pursue a single goal. If an organization starts pursuing multiple goals, then like Hamlet it finds that “the native hue of resolution” becomes infected with “the pale cast of thought” and undertakings of great pith and moment come awry.

(Moi ici: Em relação ao que Steve Denning escreve a seguir sobre o balanced scorecard , depende. Se se trata de um BSC da 1ª geração concordo com ele. Agora se trata de um BSC 2.0 ou 3.0 que começou a ser construído a partir de um mapa da estratégia desenhado com base na identificação dos clientes-alvo e respectiva proposta de valor... Denning não tem razão, adiante)  As a means of tracking progress across multiple variables, tools like the triple bottom line and the balanced scorecard can be useful. So long as external conditions remain constant, they work reasonably well as tracking devices. But when conditions change, choices have to be made.
.
Tools with multiple bottom lines do not provide a unified view with clear recommendations as to what to do in a crunch. Ultimately, the balanced scorecard is just a list of metrics. When conditions change, it doesn’t provide any guidance on the questions: What gives? What receives priority?
...
If a firm wants, as it should, to shift its actual decision-making from short-term financial goals, then introducing a balanced scorecard or a triple bottom line won’t help much. The firm needs first to recognize explicitly what the current de facto bottom line is and secondly to put a place a new single goal that can guide decision-making throughout the organization, even as conditions change. As Peter Drucker elaborated in 1973, the only valid purpose of a firm is to create a customer. Today, that means that the overriding goal of private sector firms needs to be: delighting the customer."
.
E cá está, voltamos sempre ao meu ponto:
.
Primeiro começar por identificar os clientes-alvo.
.
Segundo identificar outros actores no ecossistema que podem ajudar na relação com os clientes.
.
Terceiro, formular as propostas de valor a apresentar a cada um.
.
Quarto, criar o mosaico sinérgico, carregado de trade-offs capaz de concretizar as propostas de valor.
.
Quinto, planear e implementar os projectos de transformação que vão transformar a empresa actual na empresa do futuro desejado.
.
Sexto, seleccionar indicadores, medir, monitorizar, tomar decisões.
