Problemas sistémicos

Em Mateus 7:16-19 pode ler-se:
"É pelos seus frutos que os hão de reconhecer. Porventura podem colher-se uvas das silvas ou figos dos cardos? Portanto, a árvore boa dá bons frutos e a árvore má dá maus frutos. Assim pois, uma árvore boa não pode dar maus frutos e uma árvore má não pode dar bons frutos. Toda a árvore que não dá bons frutos corta-se e deita-se ao fogo."

Olhar para a performance do país como um todo:

  • Dívida
  • Estado do SNS
  • Estado da educação
  • Estado da ...
  • Emigração jovem
  • Carga fiscal
  • Aproximação do salário mínimo ao salário médio
  • ...
E concluir que a árvore não dá bons frutos.

Resposta rápida, simples e ... errada: A culpa é dos portugueses.

"Why do people repeat the same unsuccessful behavior in organizations? Why do certain problems in organizations seem to appear again and again? Why aren't improvement actions leading to the expected results? What is probably going on is that the improvement actions are anti- systemic, acting on independent problem events without paying close attention to their relationships and deeper causes.

An organizational design includes, among other things, decisions about the division of work and the assignment of responsibility among units. When units coordinate to get the job done, they create complex interactions and feedback loops- the system's structure-that generate the observable recurring problems.

...

When you see how the system of work constrains people’s behavior, you realize that the recurring problems are mainly due to the system, not to the people themselves. Thus, working on the people when the problem is actually systemic in nature is not the right path to go down.

...

The basis for agility is an environment of exploring new possibilities for improvement. Such an environment cannot overly constrain people's exploration with detailed procedures and rules because that reduces the space for innovative ideas -precisely the opposite of what is needed. Instead, management needs to support self- organization by establishing a few simple rules, a clear goal, and short feedback loops."
