Those businesses that achieve high growth and long term sustainability are the ones that have three key ingredients:
A clear vision, strategy and plan
Customer focused culture aligned to the market
Disciplined processes and systems
Some thoughts:
Having clarity of what you want to achieve is vital - it is this clarity that drives the successful team
The plan must be articulated into a series of bite - sized activities that drive action and that build momentum
Success is down to 20% strategy 80% action. It is vital that once the thinking has been done we start to take action
The customer is ultimately what the vision is built upon - a clear strategy and plan for finding, reaching winning and keeping customers is vital to growth
Longevity and sustainability are achieved by living in the Customers World and constantly aligning what we do to match the demands of this world
Everyone in the organisation needs to feel that they have a purpose and a role to play in delivering a Winning result
Organisations must exhibit entrepreneurial discipline - both ingredients drive success
Organisations that exhibit only entrepreneurial behaviour can sometimes operate like a missile off course - very dangerous
Businesses that are overly dependent on systems and discipline tend to be too inward looking - they can sometimes miss opportunities
Combine both entrepreneurial energy with disciplined systems and it creates a great future
