Progression

  Progress itself is a change, either by individual or group efforts or induced by environmental and cultural tangible and intangible forces to make improvement. 

The Progressive Era, which began at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, was a time of comprehensive reforms. During this time, progressives grappled with the question of whether it was possible to reconcile change with an economy of greatly enlarged institutions and a society of growing diversity. 

Global leaders and professionals sought to strengthen the management discipline and make it more responsive to popular economic, social, and political demands.


Struggles in diversity: The great diversity of progressive reformers and the ambiguous meaning of progressivism have led some to question whether the Progressive movement possessed any intellectual or social coherence. The Progressive movement was weakened by a tension between reforms that diminished democracy and those that might make democracy more direct.

Struggles in innovation: Innovation, while crucial for progress, faces several challenges. These struggles can range from organizational barriers to market-related hurdles.

-Organizational Struggles: Organizations that are not structured to support innovation may face difficulties. Some typical innovation challenges include:

-Lack of Support: Innovation requires backing from top management and leadership.

-Inadequate Rewards: Individuals who champion innovation need to be rewarded.

-Resource Allocation: Organizations must dedicate specific resources to innovation instead of expecting it to occur organically.

-Homogeneity: A diverse workforce that welcomes ideas from outside the mainstream is essential for innovation.

-Communication Barriers: Bureaucratic layers within an organization must be closely connected to facilitate the easy communication and implementation of innovations.

-Risk Aversion: Organizations need to be willing to experiment, accepting that not all attempts succeed.

-Cultural Resistance: Strong organizational cultures can hinder transformation if flexibility and adaptation are needed.

Market-related Struggles: Start-up companies, which are often characterized by their innovative stance, also face numerous challenges:

-Struggle in competition: Overcoming existing market players and other start-ups.

-Funding: Securing sufficient capital through various funding rounds.

-Risk of Failure: Start-ups are vulnerable and face a high risk of failure.

-Inadequate Marketing: Poor marketing strategies can compromise a firm's survival.

-Lack of Expertise: Insufficient expertise in critical areas can hinder success.

-Poor Partnerships: Unsuccessful partnerships can negatively impact growth.

-Insufficient Research: Inadequate research can lead to misguided strategies.

 Progress itself is a change, either by individual or group efforts or induced by environmental and cultural tangible and intangible forces to make improvement. It takes a lot of effort and resources to make improvements, and it takes even more effort and management disciplines to sustain progressive changes.
