“We have the strategy, now it’s time to think about implementation: we need to escalate it throughout the organization”.
“The markets changed: we must adjust/align the organization”.
“To survive we need to change our culture”.
Behind all these and tons of other typical statements there are hundreds of consulting companies who help you do just that.
It seems like management, ideas and the so called organization are in silos, in separate bubbles; they truly are! Organization is not the cause of anything: it’s a passive medium, suffering consequences at best.
This is precisely the proof that what management refers to as organization doesn’t exist: there is just a bunch of people going to the office.
What happened before somebody -due to some outside stimuli, as a jerk-reflex- made this realization, this reaction, this statement?
The organization was just “there”; not as a living entity aware of its environment and internal life, but as a dumb robot in a lab.
Implementing a new strategy, aligning to customers, changing the “culture”: nothing more than reprogramming the robot. Nothing will change! The organization will remain dumb, mechanical, reactive.
YOU MUST BRING YOUR ORGANIZATION TO LIFE!
Once you have a living organization, implementation, adjustment, change will be more organic, the organization will become more intelligent and you will find yourself at an increasing distance from the robots: from their point of view you are
- redefining markets
- redefining terms like strategy, innovation, leadership, culture, knowledge management, etc.
From your point of view you are simply operating from a different base, doing the right things, the right way for the right reasons, all in harmony.
