Actionism feels like progress.
But it is often just reaction.
When pressure mounts, many organizations resort to measures: new initiatives, new tools, new programs. Not because they work, but because they are available.
Structure is inconvenient. It forces you to make decisions. It determines what applies. And what ends.
Actionism asks: What else can we do?
Structure asks:
What needs to be clarified for action to be effective?
Without structure, teams work against each other. Decisions become relative. Priorities change with the volume of the moment.
Structure creates calm. Not stagnation, but focus.
Structure beats actionism,
because it makes effects repeatable.
Not just once.
But permanently.
