Welcome to the Guidon blog where we will offer insights and learning from our work with public and private sector clients and how they are navigating the current economic crisis.
Some started the climb months ago, some have just begun and some have yet to begin. But in every case their organizations are coming together as never before to navigate a difficult landscape. Among other things we will share:
Our purpose is to share and, we hope, to inspire organizations to overcome self-imposed obstacles, focus on a common purpose and begin the climb. It’s time to begin The Ascent – let’s get started. Today’s challenges are not more daunting, more critical or more significant than the challenges we have faced in the past. It is time to get started moving forward. It’s time to begin The Ascent.
- How well known tools such as Lean, Six Sigma, Balanced Scorecard and Policy Deployment are being used in uncommon ways to accelerate improvement, innovation and recovery.
- How these organizations are facing the challenges of developing strategic plans, launching new products/services or implementing new legislation in the face of what can at best be described as a hazy future.
- How Organizational Agility is becoming the most important core competence for thriving in today’s climate.
- How leaders must build organizations where speed and change in the face of uncertainty and limited clarity are embraced not feared.
