What a month! The time has rocketed by – its as if the slow lethargic start to the new year has now been totally forgotten! Everyone has leapt into overdrive and in common with many of my colleagues I too am swamped with business.
How hard it becomes to remember what the task is when so much is happening around you needing your attention NOW and stopping the real work happening. Which is why the real focus needs to be on the objective – what is the real direction to aim for?
If that is clearly set, then no amount of diversion will prevent that being achieved.
By setting a focus on the objective, then the steps will become apparent.
I have been working with an organisation within the legislatively driven Risk and Compliance market that has radically changed the way it operates when faced with needing professionally qualified Practitioners who are in very short supply. By focusing on making this attractive to professionals from other fields such as manufacturing, construction, management and marketing, the client has made a compelling and lucrative business case that can be worked alongside existing operation, or can be made a stand alone business.
The radical solution means that the right people get trained, and can form their own practice under the clients branding. They have income streams immediately on tap too. Within the previous model, when trained, the right people moved on to set up their own practice leaving the client with a skills gap. By embracing and working with this inescapable fact, and making the backup, support and brand an unbeatable offer, it has meant a better result or everyone.( It is a great offer and if you know anyone who is considering a new direction put them in touch!)
Today’s news is that the government is contemplating changing the voting system as the present one does not give it an advantage in the (please let it be very) shortly to be had election. I suppose its a timely reminder that if we are managing a business we can make the rules up to suit ourselves gaining the best advantage that we can. If we are suffering bad results – we can do something different. Analyse the process to see what its purpose is, develop what is needed, how it can be achieved in the best way and of course adapted to improve.
And of course, just change things to suit our purposes better!
Review, Refresh, Adapt.................survive and grow strong.
