Compliance Is the combination of time and space |
Posted: September 19, 2019 |
We've talked before about the benefits of being proactive versus reactive. Being proactive is more beneficial than being reactive in all aspects of life, whether in business, sports or simply in everyday life. A task as simple as crossing a street can illustrate this point: be proactive when looking both ways ahead of time and avoid possible approaching traffic or keep your head down and try to react in the last second to a large truck that pounces on you. The difference and the possible consequences are marked.
The difference between successful sports teams or companies and their unsuccessful counterparts is whether they are proactive or not. Being proactive creates and / or discovers additional time and space that allow for better, more reflective and ultimately successful decisions. Let's compare sports with business using this idea.
Great athletes create time and space A hockey player, for example, is much more a threat to the opposing team when he is proactive in four different ways.
They have more agility
Being agile is the result of practicing agility, it is not a natural quality for most of us. It is the ability to move easily and quickly in multiple directions. Then, when a threat or problem is directly ahead, they can avoid that threat by quickly changing course. They collect and process data faster
Creating time and space in a situation requires a quick, complete and accurate assessment of the situation in question. The hockey player must be aware of the current position of each defender in their range, as well as being able to read their body language to know where their next position is likely to be, in order to navigate and go through them. The faster they can assimilate and process all this information, the more time and space they will have to determine their next move.
They are in a better position to handle threats or risks
This is partly due to the previous two points. Because they have practiced on purpose to be agile and fully aware of their situation, they have automatically created additional time and space to prepare and face any threat or risk that may arise.
In addition, they have balance and coordination. They know how to position their body at all times to stay balanced on the ice, and they can move themselves and the disc through the ice effortlessly to where they want to be, avoiding the threats that stand between them and their next position or knowing that A different course should be taken for maximum risk management.
They use their available resources more efficiently
Each player has the same team, the same playing area, the same conditions and two hands and two feet. The difference is how efficiently those resources are used. Sometimes, using a free transport on open ice is enough, and sometimes the disk must be handled tightly and closely. Sometimes a long step through speed is necessary, and other times stopping completely is the right play. The ability to use the right tool at the right time allows the time and space created to be used more effectively.
Compliance creates time and space Having a good compliance program across an organization creates time and space in the same way. Regular collection and analysis of big data in real time for each aspect of the business provides the information necessary to become agile or stay agile, process data faster, manage risks or threats proactively and make the best use of all available resources .
Just as a good hockey player uses these skills to reach the goal, companies that practice these skills by properly applying compliance can navigate the sometimes rocky seas of the business world with much more ease and confidence.
