As an executive, board member, or entrepreneur, learn about a management innovation you can begin working on tomorrow.
Try better and more timely decision-making, with happy employees serving happy customers, good psychological flow, and an optimized flow of potential and actual value.
Consider multi-year operational performance over share price; share price focus alone drives cost-cutting to the extent employees incur "moral injury," increase long-term costs, and worsen customer, consumer, or user long-term experience.
It's notable how little management innovation occurs. It has dramatic effects when it happens, e.g., RenDanHeyi in Haier, Beyond Budgeting in Handelsbanken, and Cynefin® in government and industry alike. Estuarine Mapping is also making waves. But there is a new upstart.
This is not for you if you are only interested in quick fixes, looking good, or doing the bare minimum to satisfy shareholder, legal, moral, or psychological needs. As W. Edwards Deming often said, "Survival is optional."
This is for those who want long-term and short-term success, those who wish to leave a legacy of prestige and successful successors, and those who want to lead the way to being led by others.
Try better and more timely decision-making, with happy employees serving happy customers, good psychological flow, and an optimized flow of potential and actual value.
Consider multi-year operational performance over share price; share price focus alone drives cost-cutting to the extent employees incur "moral injury," increase long-term costs, and worsen customer, consumer, or user long-term experience.
Revolutions don't need a majority to get started. As Leandro Herrero once said, "Revolutionaries don't wait for everyone to be aligned." So why are you waiting?
As an executive, as a board member, and as an entrepreneur. Do you want to leave a mark or not? How do you want to be remembered? What can you do tomorrow? What's stopping you?
