Estrategia y Cambio: un bosque de bonsáis
I have been asked this question while people expected an illustrated, learned, profound or maybe even an illuminated answer. I have been asked this question while people expected an answer that would not distribute responsibilities for what occurred until that day, an answer that would provide an alibi. I have been asked that question while they expected to receive comfort and hope in identical doses. The question was: “after these weeks, what have you seen from our Company?” And my answer was sincere, maybe improper in my position but...
read moreEstrategia y Cambio: Comunicación horizontal
This post does not mention whispered conversations between sweet lovers although the horizontality of the title may suggest it. This post is the response to a very intelligent question from Claudia Coma, a reader of this Blog, due to the Anticredo post. Her question was: What can we do to promote the Change from non-managerial positions? The truth is, that it is an excellent question. It is a really challenging question. And this was my reply, which I would now like to share: “I will try to answer with my first instinct: share the...

read moreWhat is the KISS?
The KISS is based, in principle on the same concept as the Ockham pocket knife’s concept, to make this approach look erudite. The KISS has 3 derived elements which could roughly be described as follows: The concept of the horse-country logic if being in a room and you hear galloping, it could be a zebra or a gnu; but if you are in Spain it surely is a horse. Question from the police’s principle who benefits from this? Concept of the chrematistic Reasoning : every time you do not understand something, think about ‘money’ Ultimately, the...

read moreEstrategia y Cambio: cuando una organización decide pensar
Monday I said that in the Companies, we, the managers get paid to make decisions while thinking.. And today I want to say that bedsides that, one of the most inspiring jobs of a manager is to make that the whole Organization will think. Without fear that they will think different from us, without the need to show them where and how they should think. Without wanting to claim that the Organization should get transformed into a single voice that will always say the same thing and that this should be always what the Management or the shareholders...

We have progressed like someone who has held in his hands Ariadna’s thred to go through the labyrinth … Ergow contributes the example of apprenticeship Andreu wonders about the creativity with the use of tools which are the support of decisions … As always, together, step-by-step we follow a road that is being deployed and which due to “a strategic decision” of this Blog, should never have either an end or a certain conclusion beyond my own convictions which I could share as a blogger. Therefore, in this neuronal construction...

Por mi desajuste de horario de esta semana, aquí va un post hecho en Viernes, que no es un Post para Mirar sonriendo, sino para Leer con Sonrojo. Navegando por Internet, he dado con éste Blog, y esta foto. ¡¡No puedo explicar cuánta vergüenza sentí!! Sara y sus compañeros intentan, acompañados por su profesor José Sande, en el Instituto Virgen de la Encina de Ponferrada, estudiar y entender la Empresa….No conozco a ninguno de elllos, pero tengo que admitir, que después de muchos años ligada a la Dirección de Empresas, me...

Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Orleans, Orval, Tours, Nantes, back to Tours, back to Paris to finally go to sleep again at home, in front of the soothing sea of Barcelona … And all that in 9 days. And all that to be able to talk with 6 persons, face to face during no more than 2 hours with some of them. And can all that not be done via a video conference? NO. Can it not be done via e- mail? NO None of the tools of the super-globalized Web 2.0, not even the WEB 200.0 that will come, will allow us to ever substitute what we will learn from someone...
