Vision, Strategy, Structure, and Results
The successful organization—one that is both currently productive and viable long term—has integrated the vision, strategy, and structure of the organization to enable financial success. The ability of an organization to achieve every iota of success it is capable of delivering depends first upon the organization’s clarity of vision, second on its ability to select the appropriate strategy (or strategies) to accomplish the vision, and ultimately on the structure the organization puts in place to deliver the "goods" to the customer.
Clarity of vision is essential, as no business can serve every master or every customer. When there is a clear vision of who the business serves and what problem the organization is solving, the business can direct its scarce resources to its priority activities. The vision of the organization is the consistent thread that weaves throughout the decision-making process beginning with the selection of an appropriate strategy for the organization.

Shams, Shells, and Charlatans
How many times have you been casually waiting at a restaurant or coffee shop for someone to arrive for a meeting, only to suddenly recognize a former business associate? If it was a positive experience, you gladly meet, greet, and chat about the state of affairs. If it is someone who was less than ethical, didn't follow through on promises, or owes you money, the dynamic is completely different. [ Visit Website ]

Blessedly Inexperienced, Critically Impaired
As many of you may know, my inspiration for articles frequently comes from observation and inadvertent eavesdropping in various venues while waiting for meetings. (I am invariably early for meetings and appointments.) Today is no exception. As the bits and pieces of conversation float around the coffee shop, one comment making its way through my mental filter comes from a young woman who is possibly in her early twenty's at the oldest.

What Is Holding My Organization Back? (Part 2 of 2)
This is the second part of a two-part answer to the question “What is Holding My Organization Back?” Last month we began answering the question by discussing constraints on success, common challenges and traps that organizations fall into. This month we continue the discussion of the “wants” versus the “needs” of the organization and how businesses can deal with some potential traps by taking action. [ Visit Website ]

What Is Holding My Organization Back (Part 1 of 2)
This question has several possible "answers." Without more information on the outcomes you have been pursuing, it isn't possible to diagnose what is going on. So the starting point is defining the issue.
Is your company operating at peak performance? Do you seem to spend more and more dollars for less and less return? When you invest in expanding the “capacity” of your business does it truly translate into more results (revenues and profits)? If not maybe you didn't invest your resources in the right option—or if you did choose the right investment option, maybe something else is preventing you from getting maximum results.
