On their curve
Ever deal with one of those organisations whose processes aren’t as motivated as their people seem to be? They say they’ll do something but nothing happens.…
There are people and organisations who’s plan is to wait. They wait until the market has moved and then they run to catch up. They wait until the winning technology becomes clear and then jump on board. They wait until the problem gets solved by somebody else. They’re not proactive. Behind the curve or on they’re own one.
Smart or not, it’s their plan and they can do what they like.
So what?
Don’t waste time trying to change them from the outside.
If your plan is based on people and organisations making active choices to shake things up – like every start-up and every ambitious manager and every other agent of change – go work with the willing. Find like-minds – on their curve – who see the upside, can live with the risk and are prepared to do something about it.
Don’t wait for the wait-it-outers.
