Problem:
Controlling the resource of time.
-too much on the calendar forces the organization to do too many events at a 50% proficiency rate versus doing what is important to that unit at a 90% proficiency
– Creates improper planning timelines for large-scale resources to be applied against that event. For example, ammunition, fuel, food, and land for large organizations for multiple days.
– Technology erodes calendared events even further with the ability of the technology to make inflight adjustments or competing priorities. (Cell phone groups pin balling things around)
– Every second is accounted for at the higher echelon which give zero time to the subordinate unit.
– We are losing the ability to be thorough and discipline
Solution:
– Ensure events have a deliberate recovery time before another major event.
– Make sure there is time on the calendar for absolutely nothing to be done.
– Outlaw text groups during the work day for zero deviation and thoroughness.
