Thanks Conor – you are spot on!
In those 5 points you shared there is incredible opportunity. LOTS.
We could all talk deeply about our experiences and I want to share my experience in one context around point b).
Working with company boards and CEOs over the past 15 months, I have seen first hand the impact that strategic drift is having on results – the quadruple bottomline.
One organisation which I will call Company A changed its Executive team by making two people in a team of 5 redundant leaving three people to run a multimillion $ company. Support staff were made redundant too. The Board Chair decided to be Captain and make ‘Captain’s Calls’ without consultation with Board Directors or Senior Management and suddenly the company came to a halt. Poor communication and…Where was strategy? No where really. The company was adrift in the doldrums. How did they ever think they could get back to the results they had the previous year? After one year, still adrift. Surviving on reserves and that is it. Where to from here? Good question.
That’s where we come in. So many ways to help and get companies back on track and set the best course forward and out of the doldrums.
Remember the questions from Section Nine of Master Prac – the business questions? How is business? Remember the Values Alignment? Hierarchy of Ideas for strategy… lots of tools in our toolbox to help thousands of companies get back on their feet…
I love Conor’s suggestion about running a webinar… companies need you!
