Whack-a-Mole Problems

Wanna know why certain problems linger, persist, and keep coming back—why they seem to be without solution? Well:

❶  They are systemic in nature—i.e. they are inherent to your decisions regarding the business system’s design, structure/organization, implementation/operation, maintenance, and management.

❷  The solutions you choose only address the problems symptoms or effects.

❸  You haven’t diagnosed the root cause(s).

Remember, your current situation is the reflection of your current level of thinking. Nothing changes, transforms, or innovates until YOU change your level of thinking; hence your beliefs and thus your perception of business as a singular, unique, integrated, and open system—a network of nodes and their connections.
