 When you hold a large beach ball in front of you, you can only see the colored stripe in front of your face; you can only guess at the colors on the other side of the beach ball. Every problem that occurs between two or more people is like having a beach ball placed between them. Each one sees their own stripe, or perception of the problem. Each one of them sees the problem from their own perspective quite clearly and fail to see the problem from the other person's point of view as sharply as they see their own. For this reason when we attempt to solve some problems, the solution works from our view but may create serious side affects on the other side of the beach ball; so serious, in fact, that the solution is never successfully implemented.
Qm² believes that the solution to challenging and difficult organizational leadership and managerial problems lies in our increasing ability to see and synthesize whole systems together rather than a pure analytical or expert approach. Seeing the system strengthens the solution. Let us show you how. |
The beach ball is an analogy for our failure to see the whole system. Of course, to make the analogy fit the fast-changing world we live in, the various stripes on the beach ball would change color faster than we can spin the beach ball to find out what's on the other side. We can only see the system by interacting and communicating with those who can see other pieces. The better we see the whole system and how its various components interact, the stronger our solutions will be.Visit Qm².com—Our Site for CorporationsCopyright © 1998–2004
