How systematic are our learning and innovation processes?.What research evidence and innovations are we tapping into and using?.How are we dealing with mistakes and failure?.Is our culture supportive of rapid experimentation and change?.Your job now is to lead and create change.Įxperiment, read the latest research, ask awkward questions, take risks, make mistakes and learn. By the time someone has caught up you have moved on and out. The more space you put between any competitor and your organisation the better. Rather this is time to become hyper-innovative. Fight behaviours – aggressive responses, internal fighting / squabbling, destructive stress behaviours and the like.Freezing – either doing nothing or keep doing the things that appear familiar and comforting that aren’t responding to the change.Flight behaviour – including psychological flight behaviours like avoidance behaviour, ignoring or denying the significance of the situation.The normal reaction to threat is one of the three fear responses: This is not the time for knee-jerk reactions, restrictive practices and keeping things close to your chest. The more space you put between them and you now, the better. ![]() The challenge every western organisation and service faces is that if you aren’t using research evidence to develop better capability and a competitive advantage China or another competitor will soon be biting at your heals. This mass use of research data to gain a competitive advantage through evidence-based practice is something a few western organisations do, but nowhere near enough.Ĭhina is systematically researching and examining every aspect of business, service and society to try to develop a global competitive advantage In essence China is systematically researching and examining every aspect of business, service and society to try to develop a global competitive advantage. They are trying to systematically engineer economic and business domination using research evidence. What is more, they are using different sectors to examine our culture, our organisations and business, so rather than just have HR experts study HR for example, they are getting engineers and IT specialists (as well as whole range of other specialisms) to systematically examine and deconstruct HR to see how they can engineer an advantage, as well as every other aspect of our lives, innovations, business capability and more. It turns out the Chinese government has tasked it’s academics and the might of it’s research sector to systematically study western success, find the factors which have led to that success and recommend ways that the Chinese can use what they find to gain the competitive advantage in every sector. Something less prosaic and mundane came through from this study… Then when I started to read a translation of the paper something less prosaic and mundane came through from this study of HR practices in different cultures by engineers. The first thing however that intrigued me was that the paper was being published in an engineering journal, by engineers. The paper is titled “A Comparison of Organizations’ Human Resource Management Modes in Different Cultures” again this doesn’t particularly stand out from the thousands of papers published this month about Human Resources. ![]() However there was something rather different about his paper. Of the 78,000 peer reviewed research papers currently published every month around the world a growing number are from Chinese universities and researchers. Now obviously that in and of itself isn’t much to write about. This morning I reviewed a paper for our members that has just been published by a Chinese academic. Someone is going to rain on your parade – if you let them and Why your organisation is likely to lose out to a Chinese one…
