Insurmountable Challenges Are Obstacles
| Once goals are established it is essential to identify the obstacles that stand in the way of achieving them. Many companies err by not directly addressing their obstacles or by pretending obstacles don't exist. Only by honestly recognizing the obstacles is it possible to develop the strategies to overcome them.
When identifying the obstacles, it is important to include any factor that stands in the way of achieving the goals, however insignificant or seemingly insurmountable the obstacle may seem. Once identified, obstacles can be broken down to their doable parts and become assignable.
True, because of limited resources, technical ability, capital or some other limitation not all obstacles can be overcome in the near term. However, the mere process of identifying the obstacles and the requirements to overcome them allows a reevaluation and modification of the objectives where necessary to ensure goals can be achieved on time and on budget. Identifying the obstacles and developing plans and strategies to overcome them gives the organization a level of confidence that the objectives can indeed be achieved.
Thus, once recognized and specified - obstacles become far less daunting. |
