One’s own blind spots are the hardest to identify - and here is a tool for finding them.

Irrespectively whether you manage a team of 100 or a company of 100,000 employees, there is a huge chance your operations might require a closer inspection. Even if everything works as expected, there are multiple ways things might turn wrong given unexpected market conditions. Over the years of working with operational resilience, we have identified a few common blind spots that every efficient manager had:

1

Problems identified only by end customers

Even tech companies that should be very familiar with the concept of testing often lack processes that would help them identify problems before they reach customers. In other industries than IT, the problem is even more prevalent.

2

Lack of clarity on which data is relevant for decision making

A common approach to data-driven decision-making is “we use data that we have”. There’s no sufficient clarity on what data is needed and what data is relevant.

3

Risk not assessed and risk appetite not articulated

At the core of operational resilience is an understanding of what risks are there and what is company’s tolerance for these risks. In case of surprises, decisions are made ad-hoc and in rush.

Operational blind spots are like cancer - early detection is important.

Ninety percent of executives admit that outdated operating models endanger their companies’ survival. Knowing that the expected lifespan of S&P 500 companies dropped to below a shocking 18 years in 2021 (from 61 years in 1958) we have every reason to believe they are right.

These executives intuitively know that some issues sit under the surface and given ongoing change in the market, there’s a huge chance that their company will run into troubles.

But do you want to be one of those who act surprised or one of those who can come into a crisis management meeting with a smile on their face to say “no worries, we were prepared for that”?
