Creative destructor: Changing behaviour
If you start a franchise much of what you buy is a robust business method.
If you repeat the business method in the right way, you should be successful.
A business method, like many other things, persuades us to adopt a routine, not to question, and to repeat behaviour.
An entrepreneur wanting to grow quickly will have developed a business method, and then the growth is about that repetition.
Changing behaviour - what we do in given situations is often difficult. It represents a risk.
As individuals once we have "proved a concept" it is unlikely we want to deviate far from that concept. We therefore protect and surround this concept with defense mechanisms. If the time comes for change - we are quite resistant.
Action learning does provide a forum for changing behaviour - groups of individuals can pose questions and find out information about themselves, or about a given situation. This can allow them as individuals to change as required.
What is interesting about action learning is that in order to get the right dialogue going trust between members of the group is vital. Questions can push you as an individual into an uncomfortable space. You would find it very easy to put up a defense mechanism.
Change in individuals requires trust and good understanding of a given situation. Otherwise the change may be short lived or superficial.
Action learning does seem to be quite powerful - yet underused in business. It is as there is a lot of time that has to be invested. Other than time, they are very cheap to run.
