Organizational myopia. Why organizations don't notice the obvious

Book Description

Organizations are constantly in a situation of uncertainty, which they have to deal with. After all, their survival depends on it. But, as this book shows, organizations can be literally "surrounded" by signs and weak signals that can be effectively recognized until they lead to irreversible consequences. Here lies the problem: organizational myopia does not allow it to be done in time. Moreover, this symptom can begin at the individual level and grow to the level of an organization or even an entire industry. As a result, it remains only to survive an unpleasant event (the scale of which can reach the scale of terrorist attacks), and after the event admit to yourself that important signals were overlooked. It is with this ailment that the author of the book proposes to fight. At all possible levels. His proposed classification of unexpected events and real examples of the consequences of such short-sightedness - from the space industry to military conflicts - allows us to learn these lessons and avoid a similar fate. The book will be of interest primarily to managers and managers of organizations, business consultants, as well as to all those who would like to learn to notice signs of possible danger, and, importantly, to have the courage to talk about them, understanding the possible consequences of silence.
