One single day of meditation in any deep jungle teaches us two things; firstly, how everything is so interdependent and secondly, survival of the fittest so meticulously measured by designated performance. There, everything streamlined like a symphony in action, because butterflies are not chasing hawks or rabbits attacking tigers. Jungles have balance, saving energy, resources and constant recycling for sustainability. Over there, every creature is a unique specimen with a designated superior performance, delivered in grace and absolute consistency. On the other hand, over here, humankind performance ended up with far more complicated expectancies. Today, measured in economic terms our performances have landed us in a jungle of our own reckoning. Here, our imbalanced survival of the fittest now demonstrated, as if, anacondas trying to swallow elephants or skunks pretending to be peacocks.
Future of pandemic recovery depends on finding our measurable performances at each step of the way, every layer and at every hierarchy of the organization; nation-by-nation, from headquarters of national leaderships, all the way down at every large and small economic development activity and even at heart of every single public and private sector enterprise. Why not, when technologies allow such measurement and pandemic times demand such excellence. During recent decades, humankind chase went disharmonious, productivity, performance and profitability overshadowed by illusions. Natural instinct went astray. Jungle economics sprawled. Resets, realignments and re-thinking are the limited mandatory options.
Why are the old business models crumbling?
Absence of Organizational Hierarchies; the organizational structures designed to tame Mammoth Corporation as a living organism. This invisible hierarchy of control and command existed as an extremely powerful and institutionalized body but now chipping away, often the soul of the corporation missing, power and control now distributed via technology to granular levels, where intermingled cross-messaging with odd meanings destroys communication. Single command when down streamed arrives as shattered mix-media babble adding only confusion. When command and control are broken, socio-political interference constantly shifts goals and targets, management shifts to schemes. Majority of the workforce of major corporations in almost any country cannot define their own corporate objectives, purpose and goals. This has now affected the soul of the enterprise; every enterprise must declare grassroots prosperity and sustainability as its prime mission over just money making schemes or primarily serving shareholders equities at any cost to the common goods.
