Transformation

Change will and is coming fast at your business. Business leaders who see these challenges coming are now asking themselves "What will we do about .......".

I recently read a blog entry from Tom Peter's where he met with his fortune 100 client and they had a long discussion about what they needed to change......what is the answer and where could they obtain it. The debate raged.....what is our solution.... is it a product, is it a service, how do you buy a transformation?

The answer lies with the executive team, however what is needed is a dispassionate outsiders way to look at your business and assess strategically and tactically what requires change.....or more accurately transformation. Structures have to transform to meet new challenges, business process mapping and understanding of risks and potential responses are critical to making the right move.

I once heard this described as changing a propeller driven plane to a jet plane while it is in flight as the type of challenge facing business today.

It can be done but it will take committed, focused, actions as a team to get it done.

What do you think the odds of success are without a plan?
