Group and planning over individuals and interactions
It is estimated that companies lose 1/4 of their time in useless meetings. These bureaucratic interactions can lead to the feeling that more time is spent planning the solution to a problem than actually solving it.
The meeting theater
The situation worsens when the meeting’s focus is lost to personal and random topics. Punctuality of participants may even be lacking. And in the end, what is decided? Schedule another meeting.
Growing complexity
As a company grows, so does its complexity. This is normal. With a greater offering of products and services, possibilities, responsibilities, relationships, processes, hierarchies, areas, and roles also increase. And above all, problems. The group prevails over individualities.
The road analogy
In an analogy, it is preferable that a road be preventively repaved every 3 years, rather than waiting for potholes to appear and using palliative solutions thousands of times. Planning is prevention. A meeting is improvisation wearing a suit.
That is, as a rule, the more perfect and functional a system is, the fewer individuals and interactions are needed.
