Blindspots and Change


Just like individuals have blindspots, that prevent us from understanding the complete picture, Organizations have blindspots too.

There was this "naughtiness" blindspot, about the picture, that was trending up, in Twitter.

Soon after, a Video rendered the "naughtiness" blindspot absurd, by widening the visual field.

While most of the organization ventures on the shared vision, a small group of people, must focus on getting "hard data" that discovers new mental models, that could support or contradict the current vision of the Organization.

This group should be completely oblivious to the Organization's Vision and is merely interested in collecting, sharing and presenting different mental models, pertinent to the business context of the Organization.

So, when a contrarian mental model is the 'right way', no persuasion is required to change the current collective mental model.

The more stronger the evidence, the more faster, the course correction could be.
