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

11/4/2019

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

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?

​With the pace of change today, businesses need to be cruising in overdrive to remain relevant now and sustainable for the future. Yet many are stuck in second gear. Often there is an unknown bottleneck or barrier that is holding them back.  
​

ISO standard provides valuable guidance for directors operating internationally

6/7/2018

I read June/July 2018 Boardroom ‘Blind spots in the supply chain’ where Amy Williams described Rob Fyfe, then Icebreaker CEO’s handling of human trafficking in their supply chain. Fyfe offers questions directors should be asking to ensure that they provide sufficient air time given the significant risk to brand and reputation that trafficking represents.
Picture
