“Because you can doesn’t mean you should” (unknown source)
While this is a little entertaining, it actually makes a great deal of business sense. All too often we do things we should not do – and sometimes we did it just because we could or we wanted to. Hope is not an effective strategy, and willingness should not be misplaced for must.
What we need to do is understand strategic gaps, and build out solid plans to close them. We need to create a process to identify performance issues early in the cycle and put initiatives in place to fix them. We also need to understand the core processes in our organization that create customer value and work tirelessly to improve them.
