"acelerador de cambios que ya estaban en marcha"

Não me canso de pensar e de chocar com esta frase:

"El coronavirus actúa como acelerador de cambios que ya estaban en marcha..."

Volto a ela na sequência de "Companies must strengthen their buffers against shocks":

"The Covid-19 outbreak has exposed the thin margins on which much of global business runs. Highly indebted companies, working from lean inventory, supported by just-in-time supply chains and staffed by short-term contractors, have borne the brunt of the sudden blow. They will now suffer the rolling, longer-term impact of its unpredictable consequences. Too late, many executives and owners have realised that by pursuing the holy grail of ever greater efficiency, they sacrificed robustness, resilience and effectiveness. In many cases, they will turn out to have sacrificed the business itself."

O que tem sido este blogue senão um constante alerta para a sabedoria nabateia e para a doença anglo-saxónica, para a paranóia da eficiência e do denominador em vez da eficácia. Tudo aqui neste postal recente, por exemplo.
