Work the divide
It may never happen.
It probably won’t happen.
I can’t see any way that it will happen.
It happened.
That thing you worried about, that you played scenarios over,…
There are two kinds of organisation: big ones and small ones.
Big ones tend to be, erm, bigger, and have lots of people doing lots of things. To organise all those people and things they tend to have lots of systems and processes – and big organisations therefore tend to be defined more by their systems and processes than the people that carry them out.
Small ones tend to be less organised with fewer defined systems and processes and more flexibility in the way they do things. They’re more nimble, have shorter decision making loops, and are enormously more dependent on the problem solving abilities of their people to think their way through the difficulties of the day.
Working between one kind of organisation and the other, in either direction, can be: stultifying, liberating, irritating, exhilarating, frustrating, like coming home.
