When confidence outruns understanding

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: Confident misunderstanding can cause an organization to define the wrong problem, accept the wrong reality and commit itself to the wrong direction. Once that happens, talent, strategy and ex*****on begin amplifying the error. Confusion can be uncomfortable, but it carries an important admission: we know that we do not yet understand. That awareness can slow us down with enough room to ask another question, examine an assumption or consider what we may have overlooked....

Non sine periculo: A sound business motto

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: Entrepreneurship is non sine periculo: risk comes with the territory. The discipline is to understand what you are risking, what could be gained or lost, and whether the uncertainty is one you are prepared to enter. Perhaps every person starting a business should be handed a crest with three Latin words inscribed beneath it:...

Are We Solving the Problem or Servicing It?

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: Organizations can become increasingly effective at responding to a recurring problem without ever changing the conditions that keep producing it. Before investing in another intervention, ask whether it will reduce the problem itself or simply improve your ability to manage its consequences. Some problems become very expensive without ever becoming smaller. They attract meetings, task forces, consultants, new systems, revised processes, additional staff, repeated interventions and more money....

Something Being “Hard” is not a Diagnosis

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: Difficulty tells us that something requires attention, but it does not tell us what is causing it. Before deciding to persist or change direction, determine whether you are dealing with a constraint, a misalignment or simply a requirement of the path you have chosen. I recently read an article arguing that we can make success almost impossible by placing so many conditions around what we are willing to do that we eventually leave ourselves very few viable routes forward....

People either survive in the jungle or exist in the zoo

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: Businesses often ask for initiative, accountability and adaptability without examining whether their systems actually allow those behaviours to develop. Before deciding that people need to change, it may be worth asking what the organization has been teaching them to do. I heard this line in The Gentlemen: “People either survive in the jungle or exist in the zoo.”...

Today’s Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: When something stops producing the result we expect, our instinct is often to start fixing. Before deciding what needs to change, it may be more useful to identify what changed first. When anything stops working, our attention usually goes straight to the problem. Revenue is down. A project is late. Customers are complaining....

What is your Mars Project?

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: What becomes possible when we stop treating the limits we have placed around ourselves as permanent? Your Mars Project invites you to think further than you have ever thought and do more than you have ever done, guided by your own definition of prosperity. In Psychogenesis, Jack Ensign Addington shares what he identifies as Socrates’ definition of man:...

How to Avoid Floundering in a Sea of Indecision

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: Insufficient understanding can send us towards the wrong solution, but waiting for complete certainty can leave us moving along the same course by default. The aim is to determine what must be known, what can remain uncertain and when there is enough understanding to decide responsibly. I spend a great deal of time questioning what happens when people move too quickly towards a solution without adequately understanding the problem....

How Many Jobs Are Hiding in That One Hiring Description?

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: Job descriptions often combine several related but operationally different functions because having one person cover them can make economic sense. The question is whether that calculation takes into account the actual work, its volume, competing priorities and the capacity one person has to deliver all of it well. I have been looking at job descriptions recently and as I read through what is required I hear myself voicing out loud......

A Decision Does Not Contain a Predictive Component

Today's Strategic Alignment Journal post in two sentences: A good decision does not tell us what will happen. It simply reflects the quality of the understanding from which the choice was made. What makes one decision better than another? When we make a decision, we are not saying, “I know what will happen.” We are saying, “Given what I understand about the situation now, this is the course of action that makes the most sense.”...
