  The innovation paradox. 

  The need to innovate is now perceived as the key to organisational survival. It’s not enough for companies to get better. They have to get different, not just at the periphery through extensions of existing business but at the core. Transformational innovation isn’t an option; it’s a necessity. They have to become as good at game-changing innovation as they have been at disciplined execution. Innovation must become an organisation-wide capability part of the company’s DNA.

  Outside-in strategy? 

  Did you know that the key to lasting and highly profitable success is the ability to compete on and profit from customer value using the customer value imperatives. That is seeing, operating and living from the outside in. It means always building strategy on market insight, and ensuring that every part of the company puts customer value first. #NPx.

  Progress without change? 

  Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

  People out of alignment with business strategy? 

  A group can become too much involved in its own goals and activities and lose sight of the larger context in which it is operating.

  Resistance to change? 

  “You see things and say, “Why?”, but I dream things that never were and I say, “Why not?””

  Leadership tip? 

  When people join our purpose,  our core values, not just our company, we get engagement and human connection. Engagement is a super power that makes problems disappear, aligns teams in execution, and creates loyal consumers.

  It gives our work meaning! #NPx.

  Tales time… We have a choice! 

  A fox who lived in the deep forest of long ago had lost its front legs. No one knew how: perhaps escaping from a trap. A man who lived on the edge of the forest , seeing the fox from time to time, wondered how in the world it managed to get its food. One day when the fox was not far from him he had to hide himself quickly because a tiger was approaching.

  The tiger had fresh game in its claws. Lying down on the ground, it ate its fill, leaving the rest for the fox.

  Again the next day the great Provider of this world sent provisions to the fox by this same tiger. The man began to think.

  “If this fox is taken care of in this mysterious way, its food sent by some unseen Higher Power, why don’t I just rest in a corner and have my daily meal provided for me?”

  Because he had a lot of faith, he let the days pass, waiting for food. Nothing happened. He just went on losing weight and strength until he was nearly a skeleton. 

  Close to losing consciousness, he heard a Voice which said: “O you, who have mis-taken the way, see now the Truth! You should have followed the example of that tiger instead of imitating the disabled fox.”

  How do we grow? 

  We continue to grow by our effort to understand different viewpoints and insights, and this often involves letting go of our own preconceptions about life! #NPx.

  Can you buy your employees’ engagement? 

  Finally, leaders are now convinced one of their last remaining competitive advantages lies with their people. Businesses have begun to signal to workers that their needs will now be honored on a scale only previously reserved for customers and shareholders.

  Raising employee engagement has become one of the highest priorities for organizations all around the globe.

  While leaders have come to appreciate the importance of having a fully engaged workforce, they also have a very limited understanding of what practices truly drive and sustain it.

  Leaders finally realize the importance of a fully engaged workforce. Now they should learn what practices drive and sustain happy employees.
