Choosing which way to go once market starts
recovering will be a tricky business. Old habits of collecting data from
disconnected sources and interpreting them subjectively won’t work this time.
We are entering the era of insights needed to connect and interpret the data as
objectively as possible while narrowing the focus on things that matter.
‘Without a doubt, the ability to
connect the dots is rare, prized and valuable. Connecting dots, solving the
problem that hasn't been solved before, seeing the pattern before it is made
obvious, is more essential than ever before.
Why then, do we spend so much time
collecting dots instead? More facts, more tests, more need for data, even when
we have no clue (and no practice) in doing anything with it.
Their big bag of dots isn't worth
nearly as much as your handful of insight, is it?’ -Seth Godin.
So, instead of collecting the dots we should start connecting data and insights every time we discover problems with systemwide origins, and then look at them together from different perspectives. The more we practice it, the better we will become in sensing what comes next including new opportunities. This is how we can get well better prepared for new challenges.
This is how connectedness, thrust, feelings of care, belonging, and togetherness start shaping the culture that can withstand difficulties and even thrive when faced with uncertainty. It has been proven to work for Southwest for the last 50 years.
Can you give it a try?
