Paul Marciano replied to Vijay Shrinivas Nanduri's discussion Why is the Gap? Academicians vs Practitioners >"Two reasons. First, most of the so-called research is based on an assessment of engagement that lacks construct validity -- Gallup's 12 questions is a good example of such an instrument. There are more than 50 different conceptual definitions…"

I would do it the way I do it: by recognising that people are a tactical necessity versus a strategic desire. Accepting this fact of corporate life, rather than accept the hogwash hyperbole that people are a corporates' 'greatest…"

May you remain optimistic. I take heart in it.
I am intrigued though regarding your observation: WHO will interface with the customer?

David Bowles replied to Vijay Shrinivas Nanduri's discussion Why is the Gap? Academicians vs Practitioners >"Rob I think your vision is a bit dark! In working with (and surveying) a lot of organizations I would say that few are as cold and heartless as that which you describe as the norm.

Rob Fox replied to Vijay Shrinivas Nanduri's discussion Why is the Gap? Academicians vs Practitioners >"Hi David,
It could be. Yet the corporate has an engineering (in all its forms) based heart. Their factories and offices are filled with people in a kind of limbo - by this I mean waiting to be engineered out of the machine. And these peoples'…"
David Bowles replied to Vijay Shrinivas Nanduri's discussion Why is the Gap?

Do corporates strategically desire people, or do they, moreso, regard them as a tactical necessity?

"David, you gave me my morning laugh...
As for academics making things complicated, they do that to keep their jobs! If it were so simple (as maybe it is) they would have nothing to do.......of course we consultants do the same, we add some jargon…"

Leadership lessons from Taxi- Driver
Almost two years back, when I was in Chennai, India, I was forced to take the taxi to work as it was raining very heavily and I could not use my two-wheeler. The journey was adventurous because it was raining very heavily, the roads were flooded and visibility was not that great.
