Change Management / Innovation

The world is constantly changing, right?  We all know that to be true, but, what are we doing about it? And, how does it impact our business future?
There are three basic approaches to change:

• Change by Crisis: You fight change until it overwhelms you.  This is also known as decision by indecision–You have given up control.
• Change by Evolution: You notice that the world is changing around you, and you adapt. Be aware that your competitors may adapt more quickly than you–and gain an edge.
• Change by Understanding and Anticipation: Create your own future by staying aware of the changing world around you, and looking at change as a friend and an opportunity.  This does not imply change merely for change sake; that is a form of capitulation.  It does mean due diligence, and being open to change, if needed.

How is your organization approaching change? Our change management workshops will help you develop insights into the pending changes in your industry, so that you can stay ahead of the “change power curve,” and be the industry leader of the future.

Ethics in Business

“Danger, Will Robinson!” During the 1960’s, there was a popular TV show, called Lost in Space. The Robinson family had a young son, Will, whose job was to maintain the space ship’s robot, an important intelligence system. Will, brilliant at electronics, frequently had trouble identifying who were the “bad guys” and who were the ”good guys.” With superior intelligence, the robot would warn Will before he became engaged with some “bad guys. ”Where is that robot today? American business is facing a major crisis, not only from globalization and technology, but from lack of trust in corporate leadership. We are skeptical about the ethical quality of many of our leaders. The unsettling number of corporate ethics scandals has made skeptics of most of us. The May, 2006 Lichtman/Zogby Interactive poll asked Americans to rate various categories for trustworthiness on a scale of 1(low) to 5 (high). Corporate executives were among the lowest of the low: Only 7% of Americans polled rated corporate execs high, while 69% rated them low.

Perception, for many, is reality! How do your employees and your customers perceive your leadership?  Our business ethics process begins with an assessment to determine how the leadership, employees, and customers view the ethics of the company, as well as what they expect. We then assist you in developing and implementing your own unique plan for the benefit of all. Be the ethical and profitable company you can be.
