Using 'The Box' or 9 Dot Puzzle as a metaphor for many challenges we face, at times the common thinking is to simply change for the sake of change.
It's important to consider where you've been with that 'Box'.
Here are nine questions from Foster Strategies Group to consider prior to randomly changing things:
1. Who built this box?
2. When did that take place?
3. Why was this structure important?
4. Was it pushed onto people or was it built with input?
5. Did it solve a challenge at that moment?
6. Was it intended for permanence or were we lazy/content with our results?
7. Why is it still here?
8. What is still useful today?
9. What did we learn, accomplish within the constraints of this box?
Now, with gratitude in lieu of frustration, you can more mindfully build a new 'Box Without Borders'.
Make your plans and platforms with greater fluidity and adaptability going forward.
Design your vision with iteration and evolution as essential.
Knowing change will come, plan for it, embrace it and create stability.
Refrain from building new boxes today that end up as stale boxes soon.
Thank the 'Box' that brought you here. Honor it with new success through thinking beyond its borders.
