Também sobre o choque de gestão

Gosto muito desta figura:


Recorda-me a figura que faço, tantas e tantas vezes, ao tentar convencer a gestão de uma empresa, para a vantagem de uma reflexão estratégica. A minha taxa de sucesso não é invejável.
.
Julgo que a figura ajuda a explicar muito desta distribuição referida aqui:
Empresários muito atarefados com o dia-a-dia e, com pouco tempo, para se abstraírem e observarem os padrões que se escondem por trás das rotinas.
.
Em tempos publiquei aqui no blogue esta reflexão "Sobre PMEs no Norte de Portugal que não se ensina nas faculdades".
.
Hoje, encontrei mais um texto que se encaixa nesta sequência, "Build an Organization That’s Less Busy and More Strategic":
"were flat-out busy doing everything except thinking about strategy.
...
Even if your organization is successful, being too busy isn’t a good thing, because you can’t sustain a frenzy of activity. But it’s much worse if the activities themselves don’t cohere strategically and your company’s performance is suffering as a result.
.
So, what does it take to build an organization that’s less busy and more coherent?
An outsider’s perspective.
.
As insiders to our companies, when we look at what we do, we see only activity.
...
This leads to an operational mindset.
.
A strategic mindset is outside-in. Position yourself across the street, so to speak, and focus your attention on your firm’s competitiveness. Ask yourself questions like: “Why would I want to buy from them?” and “Why would I want to work for them?” When you look at your company this way, the world becomes one of outcomes, not activity — and it becomes much easier to establish a few key  performance criteria. Then you can ask yourself “So what?” to set priorities."
