Do you have...
A Culture of Execution®,
...or the gap no-one knows? Do your business results show that you have a culture of execution,
or are they challenging you to make a reality check?
If it’s the former, Congratulations…you are likely to be a top tier company in your category…. If it’s the latter, keep reading….
Sure, there may be very good reasons why this is happening…and we empathize.
…Your market took a sudden downward swerve due to global volatility; ….an illegal strike 'occurred out of the blue', halting crucial deliveries & productivity,
driving up inventory and lowering your stock price; ….the currency lost value, costing you to pay more for inputs.
These are all valid reasons for missed targets and they will have some bearing on any com-
pany. Unfortunately, they are also an insufficient reason for not succeeding. The best compa-nies & organisations don’t use these as excuses for non-performance – no matter how true they are. In the face of sudden change, they accept painful reality, get everyone on the same page, quickly adjust their thinking, generate new alternatives and end up delivering – fre-quently better, and ahead of the pack - in spite of adversity.
What accounts for the difference between the excellent ones and all the others? Years of re-search by the most influential business writers from Jim Collins to Ram Charan, and Andy Grove to Tom Peter's is instructive. If we isolate all the factors that separate the excellent from the oth-ers, one factor stands out:
They have a Culture of Execution®!
What is a culture of execution?
Execution is the ability to get things done….in spite of challenges, and obstacles. It is about re-solve and achieving results in the face of often insurmountable odds and changing realities, including sudden and unforeseen ones.
Why do so few companies have it?
Conventionally we attribute the reason organisations fail to execute to the lack of clear strat-egy, an unfavourable industry or growing market, or even the lack of a heroic leader. The truth is a little more surprising. The major reason organisations fail to execute is that:
they fail to champion their strategic people process - the basis for new dynamic approach to leadership that integrates the many moving
parts of a complex organisation to create a Culture of Execution®
What are the costs of a lack of execution?
The lack of a culture of execution costs companies up to 50% of their potential revenues; in-creases risk up to a factor of 65% and is immeasurable in terms of lost productivity, stress, em-ployee engagement and not of going the extra mile. Simply put, the lack of a culture, or ethos of execution is South Africa’s number 1 challenge in both the public and private sectors.
The good news… the Culture of Execution® workshops can change all this
The good news is that attaining this capability does not have to be a birthright. Anyone can cultivate it and claim it as their own. If you would like to develop the ability to develop your own culture of execution and improve your results measurably in 2013, register for our 2 day Culture of Execution® workshops now available in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.
