All organizations are perfectly designed to get the results they are now getting. If we want different results, we must change the way we do things.

About This Quote

Here, von Clausewitz is saying that any organization that exists and doesn’t get the results it wants is not perfectly designed. Since it’s not perfectly designed, there must be something wrong with it in order for the result to be different. If we want to change the results we’re getting, we need to change the way we do things.
