EES [Efficient, Effective, Sustainable]
I’ve used this set of terms to
reflect the consequences of Right Action.
I actually have an unpublished
manuscript on Right Action – Right Results, so I’ll just
remind you of the idea of Right Action:
-Right People
-Right Things
-Right Time
-Right Space
-Right Results
-Right Reasons
This pretty much simplifies the
interdependencies among components required for "Efficient,
Effective, and Sustainable”.
Sustainability is the bugaboo in
most of our processes, things like
dissipative structures,
equilibrium, and
entropy can be very interesting,
as we enter the realities of sustainability.
MOST of what we are doing today is
not sustainable, while it is often efficient and
effective –> strategic and executed well.
Yet, to meet all three tests,
it begs the question that in all likelihood will help us
design with more compassion.
At least, that is a hope I hold on
to. <G>
Helpful Hint:
Each part of our viewpoint, should
at least concern the efficiency with which we do things.
Do we do them in a way that has the end in mind and is
sustainable as well? That is effective IMHO.
Action Step:
Try something the next time you
design something:
View it from the point of sustainability, identify
whether over time, it will actually be generative. And
if it’s not, one thing that has helped me is to design the
exit strategy, and clean up your mess in the process. Not
everything can, or needs to be sustainable. What does need to
happen is how we see things, needs a perspective of
sustainability. Perhaps, we can’t always have MORE
guiding everything
