I'm up to my ears at the moment (one of which is infected, which is rendering me a tad less amenable than usual....) but I just wanted to make a few pertinent points.
1. Broadly, I agree with Miguel, a couple of posts above. If it's not broke, don't fix it is a sound adage. The eclectic nature of Cameraderie is part of its charm.
2. One of the things I do for a living is help large corporates to transform. They only do so for one of four reasons ("compelling events") :
- To grow (increase market share)
- To compete (eliminate competition)
- To survive (respond to an existential threat)
- To comply (remain within the law, eg GDPR)
Nothing else matters. Change is a constant, transformation is optional.
I do not see a compelling event here...
3. Regardless of whether the transformation is corporate, personal, work-related or social one thing is true.
You should always go to, never from.
4. The armed forces use an acronym - OODA - which stands for
Observe
Orientate
Decide
Act
My fear here is that there is currently a bit too much of the A and not enough OOD. Infants get ejected with the soapy suds in such circumstances.
I urge a period of contemplation and a structured approach to understanding the "problem", the extent to which it is an issue to the membership (including the "silent majority") and the optimum course of action. This is "fact based decision making" and in my experience it yields the optimum outcome.
