There are two significant situations that I can think off that uses these specific words or sentences for what I am about to share my thoughts and criticisms.
It is always like that.
Which Asian team made it the farthest in the football World Cup?
4th place in the 2002 FIFA World Cup by South Korea.
And if you are to ask someone why no Asian team has ever won the World Cup and the answer is given, it is always like that.
What does this tell you?
Similarly, if you talk to above 1,000-year-old businesses or 100-year-old businesses, and the answer is, it is always like that, there is a likelihood that it failed to explore further on being better. And being just that, can spell disaster or a lost opportunity to take a giant leap for the better, if not best.
We are not talking about their services and products but we are also talking about the constitution of the organisation – people, culture, work methodology,, environment, tools and management.
One needs to not always, “It is always like that” but “We can be better than this”. Inventing, researching, and develop, expand – is the way to survive in any era. Or in the world of games, be more ruthless, 4X - Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate. Through each process of elimination, a new life will grow, therefore – don’t be scared to be “We can be better than this”.
What about the term, Add-Value?
A lot of times, the term is used loosely, “We shall add-value” to whatever you do. But is it truly measured? Unless the subject in which case, a corporation or an Asian Football Club allows itself to be “Explored” and “We can be better than this”, chances to expand, exploit and be No. 1, will never be achieved.
