I think there are at least two varieties of people in business.
The long strategy ones build things, and keep them working, on the
basis that value is generated and accrues.
The short strategy ones buy, sell, strip, dismantle, work in for pay
whil looking for their next job, and generally take something with
value, extract some of the value destroying the rest, toss it aside
and move on.
Most of the value in the world was produced by the long strategy type.
GPs I think, and probably doctors in general, tend to the long
strategy - it goes with 30 year careers in the same place and so on.
So do FLOSS programmers, BTW.
A masterpiece of management is to take long strategy types, and coerce
them into behaving like short strategy ones. It leads to satisfaction
only in a very limited group, who get their fun not from creating value.
Which management approach is most evident in NHS IT, within the NHS,
and outside the NHS?
