HOW A BUSINESS PERFORMS IN A FAST-MOVING WORLD
Question #6: Our business rarely “struggles” to hit key targets.
Caveat: Management,
particularly in a fast-moving world, often feel like firefighters; when
they kick in the door they don’t know if the house will collapse before
they put out the fire. Why? All too often, they are called in to solve
the problem when it is almost too late.
How does this happen? If you
scored low in any or all of Questions #1-5, there is a good chance that
you and your people are aiming your fire hoses in the wrong direction.
With all that smoke in the air, it is easy to over-react to the flames
and overlook the root cause problems smoldering underneath.
To know for sure, senior
executives need to identify key business performance issues proactively
and apply remedies that will correct the problem sustainably (for
example, by applying Carlos Dias’ 360° Holistic Business Scan™ processes
to pinpoint the root causes of poor business performance, and unearth
previously undiscovered impact points that can restart your growth and
keep it growing sustainably.
