They are often preceded by a longer period during which the organization\u2019s self-image gradually begins to diverge from how customers, employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders actually perceive the business. This phenomenon can be described as <strong>Organizational Self-Image Gap (OSIG)<\/strong>. The problem, however, is not the gap itself. The real problem arises when the organization loses the ability to detect that the gap exists. It is then that the organization risks developing what can be described as <strong>Organizational Blindness<\/strong> \u2013 a situation where the internal narrative has become stronger than reality. For the Chief of Staff, CEO and board, this is one of the most underestimated organizational risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">All organizations develop a self-image<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Over time, organizations build up an image of who they are. They describe themselves as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">customer-oriented<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">innovative<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">value-based<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">sustainable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">transparent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">responsible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">This self-image plays an important role. It creates identity, direction, and context. It helps the organization make decisions and create meaning in everyday life. The problem arises when the self-image no longer aligns with reality. For example, an organization can describe itself as customer-centric while customers experience bureaucracy and long processing times. It can highlight its ESG efforts while concrete sustainability initiatives are stopped when they impact the budget. It can talk about transparency while employees learn that some issues should not be raised. When these differences grow, an Organizational Self-Image Gap arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">What is OSIG?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Organizational Self-Image Gap (OSIG)<\/strong> can be defined as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The distance between the organization's self-image and the stakeholders' actual experience of the organization.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">The smaller the gap is, the greater the likelihood that the organization will be perceived as credible, authentic, and legitimate. The larger the gap becomes, the greater the risk of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">decreased trust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">increasing cynicism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">lower customer loyalty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">higher staff turnover<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">growing compliance risks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">weakened legitimacy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Many organizations live long with a moderate level of self-censorship without major consequences. The critical stage occurs when the organization begins to defend its self-image instead of evaluating it. That is where the journey towards organizational blindness begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">From self-image to blindness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Development rarely happens overnight. It often follows a predictable pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Phase 1: Self-image<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">The organization rests on a stable identity where management is convinced that the business lives up to its core values. The culture is perceived as sound and well-established, which is entirely natural because all organizations need a strong self-image in order to function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Phase 2: OSIG occurs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">So slowly, external signals are starting to testify to a new reality. Customers are contacting us with complaints, employees are choosing to leave the organization, and suppliers are expressing frustration. In addition, audits are uncovering recurring deficiencies. So far, these are weak signals, which means that there are still good opportunities for the business to correct its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Phase 3: Rationalization<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of investigating the signals, the organization starts to explain them away. The reasoning may sound familiar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">\u201dCustomers do not understand our model.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">\u201dThe media is exaggerating.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">\u201dThe competitors spread misleading information.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">\u201dIt\u2019s about individual events.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, the self-image is defended rather than being tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Phase 4: Denial<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">As the signals intensify, a new problem arises: information begins to filter through. People adjust their messages, uncomfortable facts are silenced, and managers report what is expected rather than what actually happens. The result is that the organization gradually loses its ability to learn and develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Phase 5: Organizational Blindness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Now something fundamental has changed. The organization not only has problems \u2013 it has lost the ability to see the problems. The internal narrative dominates over reality. The management team is still discussing why the organization is successful while customers and employees are already experiencing something else. OSIG has turned into organizational blindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Phase 6: Legitimacy crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">The final phase occurs when the external environment has changed its perception of the organization, but the organization itself has not yet understood it. This is where we often see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">trust crises<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Regulatory interventions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Trademark damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Management changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">severely impaired performance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">What appears externally to be a sudden crisis is often the end result of many years of growing OSIG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Why does organizational blindness occur?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Three mechanisms recur time and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Culture protects self-image<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Alla organisationer bygger upp sina egna narrativ. Ju mer framg\u00e5ngsrika de \u00e4r, desto st\u00f6rre \u00e4r risken att dessa ber\u00e4ttelser f\u00f6rvandlas till oklanderliga sanningar. N\u00e4r organisationsidentiteten blir sakrosankt stagnerar utvecklingen och f\u00f6rm\u00e5gan till l\u00e4rande g\u00e5r f\u00f6rlorad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Internal politics replaces external orientation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">In high-performance organizations, attention is directed outward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Against customers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Towards the market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Against society.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Towards the future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">In more mature or self-referring organizations, the focus gradually shifts inward. The discussions then deal with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">internal positions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">mandate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Budget disputes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">organizational territories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">When this happens, the organization begins to optimize for internal success rather than external relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Success reduces curiosity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Many organizations do not become blind despite success. They become blind because of success. Historical successes can create a sense that the current model still works. The greater the success, the more difficult it can be to accept that the outside world has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">ESG, compliance and the first warning signs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">ESG often becomes visible only in areas where the organization\u2019s values are tested. Two particularly interesting indicators are ESG and compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ESG<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">It is easy to talk about sustainability when sustainability measures are cost-neutral. The real test comes when sustainability requires investments. If the organization\u2019s communication and decisions start to diverge, OSIG grows. Greenwashing is therefore often a symptom of a deeper identity problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Compliance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">In the same way, compliance acts as a stress test of organizational integrity. Isolated deviations occur everywhere. But recurring violations of the rules tell something about the culture. If the organization repeatedly fails to comply with basic standards, the outside world begins to ask a different question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Is this really a mistake, or is this how the organization works?<\/em> When that question starts to be asked publicly, OSIG has already become significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Chief of Staff as a counterweight to organizational blindness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Here the Chief of Staff role becomes particularly interesting. Traditionally, the role is associated with coordination, prioritization, and execution. But in practice, many successful Chief of Staffs have another task: reducing the gap between the organization\u2019s self-image and reality. This means continuously asking questions such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">What do customers see that we don't see?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">What problems do not reach the management team?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Which assumptions are never challenged?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">What do the employees say when the management isn\u2019t in the room?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Which reports does no one want to discuss?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">From this perspective, the Chief of Staff becomes an organizational sensor function. A mechanism for detecting growing OSIG before it develops into organizational blindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Five questions every management team should ask themselves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">To identify early signs of OSIG, each management team should regularly discuss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">What do our customers say about us when we are not in the room?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Which of our stated values are the most expensive to maintain?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Which facts do we tend to explain away?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Are there any questions that employees avoid raising?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">How would a critical external observer describe our organization?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">The more difficult these questions are to answer, the greater the reason to be vigilant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Organizations rarely fail because they lack information about reality. More often, they fail because their self-image has become so strong that it filters out reality. <strong>Organizational Self-Image Gap (OSIG)<\/strong> describes the distance between how the organization views itself and how it is actually perceived by its stakeholders. <strong>Organizational Blindness<\/strong> occurs when the organization loses the ability to recognize that this gap exists. The perhaps most important task for modern management teams, boards, and Chief of Staff functions is therefore not to reinforce the organization\u2019s narrative. It is to ensure that the narrative remains true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chiefofstaff.se\/en\/start\/chief-of-staff-eng\/\">Go to the summary page-&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chiefofstaff.se\/en\/glossary\/definition-of-organizational-self-image\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more about organizational self-image here-&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on is-style-wide\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>N\u00e4r organisationer slutar se verkligheten Inledning De flesta organisatoriska kriser uppst\u00e5r inte pl\u00f6tsligt.
