The multi-thread management involves leveraging nonlinear logic, manifesting business purposes, and aligning resources, talent, and budget, to deal with problems effectively.
Change is the new normal; business disruptions are inevitable; risks and opportunities co-exist. There are often multiple and inter-related dynamics behind complex problems and it’s critical to leverage effective tools, methodologies, or practices to frame the right problems, analyze cause-effect, discover crucial factors of problem-solving, and improve overall organizational risk intelligence.
By understanding the cause-and-effect logic, organizations can make informed decisions and identify potential problems and opportunities: Complex problems usually have a combination of causes. Consider the context: The specific causes of a problem will vary depending on the situation. Finding a single root cause is not enough to truly discover the real issue and deal with it smoothly. Either to frame the right problems or solve them smoothly, make decisions based on updated information and past experiences. Be critical and creative at the same time. Don't limit yourself to the most obvious causes. Explore all possibilities, understand deeper about interconnections, and dig into root causes.
By analyzing crucial factors, you can prioritize the most critical causes to address first and develop targeted solutions; allocate resources effectively, and achieve their strategic objectives. Not all causes are created equal. Some will have a more significant impact on the problem than others. Willingness to acquire additional information begins with acceptance you do not know enough to make conclusions; you recognize a gap in the knowledge you have and value in closing the gap. Do diagnosis analysis: What are the crucial problems you need to fix, the leverage and trade-off, etc? Here are some factors to consider:
Frequency - How often does this cause contribute to the problem?
Severity - How serious is the impact of this cause?
Controllability - Can you address this cause with available resources?
Understanding the long-term consequences of choices, and developing strategies to improve risk intelligence: It’s always important to collect quality information, get to know the problem at hand, as well as understand the implications of the choice you intend to make. Do prescriptive analysis: how to set up guidelines, and recommend actions to execute? Be conscious of the risks; the efforts to identify, integrate, and manage risk are critical to building organizational advantage in the long run. Set the right priorities, assign resources and talent carefully, and solve problems that matter. In this regard, risk management, or at the higher level, risk intelligence becomes a strategic imperative for changes.
To develop the next management practice to improve business intelligence: Risks and opportunities go hand in hand. Organizations weigh risk and reward, take prudent risks, find ways to mitigate risk rather than eliminate it, and drive change large or small proactively. Business professionals, especially executives, should be able to predict future trends - emerging opportunities and hidden risks based on current and historical data, discovered patterns, and other cause-effect reasoning to deal with them wisely.
It’s not so effective to use linear logic to understand highly complex, nonlinear cause-effect relationship scenarios to solve complex business problems. Focus on nonlinear rather than just linear cause-effect. The multi-thread management involves leveraging nonlinear logic, manifesting business purposes, and aligning resources, talent, and budget, to deal with problems effectively.
