Growth during Covid-19 times

14/5/2020

Everyone on planet earth has been, or is about to be affected by Covid-19. Global supply chains have been disrupted with the tightening up and in some cases closing of international borders. Despite government assistance, most businesses will struggle to survive through this period of lockdown or disruption.

And yet Covid-19 has levelled the playing field for all businesses. This field leaves a window of opportunity for those who are quick to deliver what customers need now. Over time these needs will evolve to become the new ‘normal’. The old ‘normal’ has gone. So too will the well established businesses of the past that fail to change to this new 'normal'. These are exciting times for agile businesses with owners and leaders who are nimble and eager to grow.

Why organisations don’t use excellence to improve

Business Excellence (BE) has proven to be the most effective means of growing any organisation faster than any other organisational improvement methodology.

In Excellence: the world‘s best kept secret blueprint for success I reported that excellent companies grow more than twice as fast as ISO 9001 certified companies. Sadly just a few thousand organisations globally have achieved the highest levels of excellence in the past 30 years that excellent frameworks have been in existence.

So why is it that so many organisations are not involved with excellence?

Flying is reportedly a 100 times safer way to travel than driving a car. Over the past 5 months two flights involving different operators using the same Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft crashed killing all on board. This is shockingly unexpected from an aircraft that has been in service for 3 years and for an industry which prides itself on having a great safety record.

How could this possibly happen?

Did you find it difficult to keep up with your schedule for planned management system audits last year?

Are you auditing the same procedures time after time?

Is the number of findings decreasing each time you audit?

If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, then it may be that you are a slave to your audit schedule and stuck in the compliance audit trap.

You conduct regular internal audits to make sure that everyone is following procedures that keep people safe and products working correctly. These internal audits are necessary to

comply with your own policies,
demonstrate that you are acting responsibly, and
meeting the requirements of the internationally recognised ISO management system standards.

While everything may appear to be fine, you can be stuck in the compliance audit trap without even being aware of it.

I hear you are ‘working even harder than before and still not making progress’ in your market. Perhaps it’s just that you don’t think that you are making progress. Especially when you know how your business is performing today compared to how it was in the past. However, what you don’t know is how much better your business could be performing.

What does the best performing company look like? Can this help you get ahead in your market?
