Why choose us?
To understand success, it is sometimes necessary to analyse failure. Every organisation faces two major threats, one over which it has no control, the other which, although within its' control, can sometimes feel equally as daunting
The first threat is the external environment, those events over which a business has no control but must react to. 9/11 changed the profitability of airlines overnight. Newspaper hyping of avian flu can destroy turkey producers, without malice, in the pursuit of a good headline
The second threat can be equally destructive. Because it is not dramatic, it tends to be treated less seriously. It is known by a number of names. Inertia, complacency, the status quo. Most initiatives to change the culture of an organisation, to improve performance, to break free of the gravitational pull of mediocrity, result in failure
John P Kotter in his book, 'Leading Change' identified 8 stages which are critical to the change process. Only stages 1 and 2 are relevant to this discussion. If we want our organisation to change, we must first create a sense of urgency. It is not enough to wait for our competitors to overtake us, for productivity to fall to critical levels before we decide it is time. This is Stage 1
Stage 2 is equally as important. Create a Guiding Coalition, a small body of key players within the business who recognise the need to improve, are committed to seeking change and are prepared to make the necessary decisions and stick by them, to make it happen
If your organisation has reached this stage, we can help. The Vanilla Effect and our proven 5-step process will help create the environment in which your business can excel
If you agree that this is an option, then we believe you should choose us
