The objective of this work is "to try to sensitize managers in the business world of the need to support their work with specialists capable of studying the company as a living organism that requires health and quality of life in a humanized way", as well as any person needs to take care of their body with the support of a doctor or group of health workers, Clinic.
Although humanity has always had the need to manage its resources, in the historical framework the "management theory" must be located in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. When the development of the industrial revolution required a certain organization of production processes because mass production significantly differed from the productions of artisans.
Thus, two engineers became the highest representatives of what is now known as the theory of the so-called "scientific direction". They were: Federic Taylor and Henry Fayol. The theory of scientific management, after certain studies in practice, resulted in the need to make certain evaluations of the activities to be carried out in the different jobs and structure them in an organizational framework according to the processes that are carried out.
But, this process that was carried out at the beginning of the century started from a prevailing culture and a type of man and a way of working, the one known as the economic man, who worked to obtain certain income through wages and satisfy his most primary needs.
This theory of direction in time has evolved through the development of different schools, which have made contributions and contributions, but which, in essence, has maintained the system of beliefs and values on which scientific direction rests. In other words, organizations with a highly verticalized structure remain, where power is determined by the amount of authority that is had or has been delegated at one level of the structure.
However, the situation in the modern world is very different, we are in a new millennium, people today have been trained within a great technological development, have another educational level, other life expectations, their basic needs present another projection and have higher needs that are more framed in the field of internal satisfaction of their expectations and their needs for achievement. This is what makes us today in the presence of a great paradigm shift: from the paradigm of verticalization to the paradigm of horizontalization; from the paradigm of authoritarianism to the paradigm of democratization or what is the same from the paradigm of command and command to the paradigm of participation and commitment; from the paradigm of the many organizational levels to the paradigm of structural flattening;from the paradigm of a pyramidal structure to the paradigm of the inversion of the pyramid; from the paradigm where the product is determined by the producer to the paradigm where the product is determined by the customer.
In short, today, organizations have nothing more constant than change.
If we start from the fact that the company is a living organism, we would say that these paradigm changes are having an impact on the cells of the company, or what is the same, we are in the presence of a transformation in the evolution of the species, where the different changes qualitative that have been produced are leading to a quantitative leap in the species. A jump not only biological, but also psychological.
I clarify that when I use the term company I am not sticking to the narrow concept of a for-profit organization. A company is also for me a university, a hospital or any other public organization that does not seek to profit but, that also undertakes an activity to satisfy a target audience that requires its services.
Similarly, companies, as a living organism, promote and energize one of the main activities of modern society: economic activity. For this reason, the company today is the basic cell that promotes and drives the development of society, but where people are the essence of it and the key element to lead them in a context of increasing complexity and competitiveness.
Faced with such transformations and taking into account the role of people in them, it is for what happens to play a role of paramount importance that “companies strive to adopt advanced management techniques that lead not only to their optimal development, but also also, and fundamentally, to the human and professional fulfillment of the people who compose it ”. Seeing in this that companies are more than profit-generating organizations, but also possessing inspiring sources that configure the very human essence that make change can be developed or addressed in all its magnitude.
In this sense, the objective of this work is "to try to sensitize managers in the business world of the need to support their work with specialists capable of studying the company as a living organism that requires health and quality of life in a humanized way", as much as anyone needs to take care of their body with the support of a doctor or group of health workers. Clínica Empresarial is not a company, it is an idea, look for the Clinic that best cares for you, it is your decision.
Business Clinic
Business Clinic is an idea whose starting point is the company and its fundamental premise is that it is a living organism whose cells are in constant transformation. The idea also contemplates that the complexity of these transformations, both internal and external, as well as the aggressiveness of the environment due to the increasing competitiveness, requires an external consultant who, based on "tailored suit", works as an aid to assume the changes and develop your own capacity for change that the members of each organization have.
Clínica Empresarial makes a simile between the body, as a living organism, and the company; between the doctor who diagnoses as a clinician to improve the human body and the consultant who is a specialist capable of diagnosing business health and acts as a clinician.
Business Clinic considers, in the first instance, that the human body is a system in which there are different subsystems: the circulatory, the nervous, the ostiomuscular, the reproductive, the respiratory, the renal, the digestive, the endocrine, etc. which are cared for by different specialties: cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, urology or gynecological-obstetrics, pulmonology, nephrology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, etc.
Similarly, the company is a system in which there are different subsystems: the financial, the communicative, the cultural, the structural, the development and marketing, the production, the suppliers, the customer service, etc. which must be served by different specialties: accounting and financial, commercial, computational or informational, human and organizational behavior, training, etc.
The similarity that can be established between the variables of the body and the business ones is, in many cases, almost direct. If in a company we talk about financial situations we have no choice but to associate it with the circulatory system, because it is precisely the latter that allows all parts of the body to be oxygenated, just as it happens with finances in the company.
From another organic point of view we can see how the ostiomuscular system, which makes up the structure on which the body rests, has a direct relationship with the structure of any organization. No longer within the framework of biological elements, but within the framework of psychological aspects, we can see how the nervous system is to the body as communication to the organization. Without a good nervous system, any organization can suffer from personality disorders, which are difficult to treat alterations that can lead to neurotic, psychotic or psychopathic problems, aspects that create anguish, susceptibility, schizophrenia or paranoia with the corresponding distrust, withdrawal or perfectionism.
As in medicine, as a whole, the center that determines the smooth running of the human body in the health system is the heart; In management, as a whole, the center that determines the good performance of the company in the management system is decision-making. Therefore, just as for the human body medicine and health is quality of life, for the company management and decisions it is health and quality of life. Without medicine and health, as well as without direction and decisions, both the human body and the company perish. And this is precisely what Clínica Empresarial tries to avoid, a sudden and premature death or a congenital malformation.
The reason for being of Clínica Empresarial is "to design a tailor-made suit that gives you health and a better quality of life with high human sensitivity ", through a comprehensive provision of its accounting and financial services, marketing, organizational and human behavior, of computing and information and training, which are characterized by the fulfillment of the quality desired by the directors and managers of the organizations that are served in all their facilities and areas.
You can enter the Business Clinic through the Emergency Room, or through the Consultation Area and can request Specific Interventions (accounting, computational, training, etc.) or Comprehensive Interventions (diagnosis and strategic project, etc.). Depending on the diagnosis of your specialists, you can have an Intensive Therapy, Intermediate Therapy or Recovery treatment, as well as you can go to the Rehabilitation Center to be trained in management skills or effective management instruments, you can also send your closest collaborators to our School of Customer service to overcome one of the main business syndromes, which can sometimes become malignant.
Each of the Business Clinic Specialties must provide a rapid response to trauma, physical or mental, that your company may present, through a shared solution created in progress to your problems.
The Business Consultant
As with any physical health problem, you attend the consultation of a doctor who evaluates your condition based on the information you provide, at Clínica Empresarial we have a medical team that is made up of a team of consultants capable of, together to you and the information you provide, to be able to diagnose the health status of your organization and evaluate what are the best actions to achieve the necessary health status. Like the physician, the consultant is not an add-on but an integral part of the process. It is the clinician who must help you discover through the best procedures what are your main ills, the causes that motivate them and what capacity for changes you must put in place to improve your business health.
You may wonder why is a consultant necessary? We could say that for the same reason that a doctor is necessary when we feel bad, to try to regain health or improve quality of life. Business leaders, conductors of the business body, are regularly steeped in tradition and complacency and the deterioration is not evident to them. Because with the best will in the world, the parties involved cannot carry out operations that are consistent with their position in the company. Because the situation is so complex that there are things they cannot do.
However, a consultant can prepare the state of mind of those involved, carry out the exploratory exchange, lead the process, use the best or most appropriate tools depending on the case, guarantee the concentration of those involved, remove them if they stagnate, direct the Attention to really interesting things, not allowing peripheral discussions, focusing attention on important issues, identifying the best ideas, keeping up with the main leaders, providing additional alternatives and providing the best solution to present situations in a neutral way.
In the business world, many reasons are used for not considering the consultant as the best specialist to help you solve your pathologies. Sometimes it is thought that the problems they have are not proper for this person, however, whenever we have an ailment in our body we look for and go to a doctor's "consultation". Other times we think we do not know enough, a question that we do not think regularly about a doctor. It is also considered that you are not risking anything and it is just fun working for you. In addition, he is usually considered an academic and does not know anything about the real world, something that we do not consider when we go to a doctor with something serious. Finally, it is often considered unlikely that he would propose something different. Anyway, we do not usually judge the abilities of a doctor but,Many times we do prosecute the consultants and with that we do not realize that we need them as much as a family doctor.
However, I draw attention that if a doctor makes a mistake with a patient, trauma to a person and their relatives, but if a businessman who does not allow himself to be advised by a consultant makes a mistake, he can traumatize a group of people and their respective families, for not knowing how to handle situations that can represent serious risks, since they do not have enough experience or do not know how to handle the appropriate tools. For this reason, I call your attention that if you take a medicine you need a doctor to recommend the exact medicine, in the exact dose. To improve the health of your company you need a consultant who will recommend the best way to do the right thing in the right way,in an exact way and for this you must attend a Business Clinic so that it is seen in consultation and can determine what are the ills that afflict your company as a living organism. Don't forget, you need both a consultant and a doctor. Take care of your health and that of your company.
Organizations
The different economic sectors of a country are not alien to what we have been talking about. Each sector is key in the functioning of any country and the "structure" of the country's economic and business organization cannot afford to fracture or break in any of its parts. As living organisms, the different sectors are pieces of vital importance, both economically and politically. Economically because of what it means for the good progress of the financial health of the country, politically because the face of the country abroad. I would say that they are parts of the country's organization that have contact with the external client, then as a contact activity with the outside world they must start from the assumption of enjoying good physical and mental health. Or what is the same,it must be assumed that it shows a body and mind that function so well, so excellently, that its performance becomes legendary.
But is this so or is this just an assumption? I believe that organizations from different sectors in order to have a healthy mind have to have a healthy body and it does not seem to me to be the case. Really, to my way of seeing things, the organizational world of the different Latin American countries has different bodies in one.
For example, if we look at the ministries of higher education themselves, they are something to analyze, the universities are part of the same body but, nevertheless, they have their peculiarities as a living organism, the faculties have their own cells, as do the centers of investigation. In short, there are many parts here that I believe are not perfect, but perfectible and in that sense they require a medical team as good as Dr. House, who knows how to penetrate the deepest part to make a good diagnosis and if it is not possible to restore health, at least to achieve a higher quality of life. In the same way, we could have similar situations in the sectors of health, tourism, industrial, services, etc.
I would like to point out only one thing by way of closing, if the different sectors are organisms of contact with the outside world, therefore they have to live with that world and for that world. In this sense, they must have a good nervous or communicative system that allows them to develop a key element in their operation, a culture of detail that meets their needs and for this they must take care of their moods to avoid any neurotic, psychotic or psychopathic attack.
It is only thus that we can ask ourselves: is the body of the organizational sectors of any country mentally prepared for detail? I always have the possibility to share with teachers from other countries and from what they tell me, there does not seem to be a healthy mind, nor a body prepared to take on this challenge of detail in the organizational world of many countries. The moods are changing, according to them, depending on the country.
I believe, therefore, that the organizational sectors, in any of their parts, need a business clinic to attend to them, either through their Emergency Room or through their Consultation Area. I simply call attention because from the little I know, the organizational health of any country is affected and if there is no medical body that goes deep into its cells, the consequences can leave it paraplegic or with congenital deformities or perhaps with serious disorders psychiatric.
I leave it for you to draw your own conclusions and think that a Business Clinic with a good team of consultants, for any organization, is worth it.
