What
enables companies to take giant
leaps, enable great improvement in a short period of time? Is there a process that
can be learned that we can follow that will bring about radically accelerated growth,
profitability, and success in a company? We think there is.
The conscious concerted effort to take
the company to the next level of accomplishment, and then move it in that
direction, organize the effort, and execute it through acts is the process of how
businesses make very rapid, vast leaps in growth and development.
Actually all companies are undergoing this process all
the time, though it is happening unconsciously on its own, over a long period of times,
with zigs and zags along the road to accomplishment. By consciously making this
effort, we put the process in our own hands, enabling us to accelerate the growth and
development of the company to levels limited only by our imagination.
Let's then detail the steps of this process of business
growth and development.
-
STARTING
POINT/CURRENT ENERGY
The business has saturated the current forms, levels of its existence
with energy and is ready to create new forms, move to higher
levels for its excess, surplus energy.
-
VISION,
DECISION DIRECTS ENERGY INTO FORCE FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT
There is a compulsion among leaders and
others in the company to move it to the next level. Perhaps there's a new opportunity in society or in the industry for the company, or the
company has a general aspiration for improvement, increase sales, profits, market share,
etc. In other words, with excess energy at its current level the company is moved to go to
a higher level based on external or internal opportunities or aspirations. This in turn
leads a vision of what it wishes to be or go or become, which is
turned into a decision to make it happen. This directional
stage converts the excess, surplus energy into a force
for accomplishment.
-
ORGANIZED FORCE
TURNS ENERGY INTO POWER FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT
The newly directed energy then has to be channeled through
organization that can
convert the directed energy into productive results and power. Organization determines who
will do what, when it will be done, how it will be done and in what sequence so that
management’s vision, goals, and values, are directed through
potential strategies and plans of action, thus densifying,
developing, formulating, expanding the original vision,
intent.
The more the strategies, plans, and other organizing
formulations are addresses through company systems, activities,
jobs, divisions, departments, et al (i.e. the company's
structure) the greater the power that is released for achievement at the
next higher level.
-
EXECUTION
BY PEOPLE TURN POWER INTO RESULTS (i.e. Profitability,
Growth, Quality)
Finally, the results achieved by this directed and organized force depend on the attitudes
of its people, and the knowledge and skills of individuals to carry out specific acts
to implement management goals, values, strategies, and action plans. Perfectly carried out
acts, through the knowledge-filled and skilled execution of the company's people is the
final trigger that propels it to the next plateau of achievement and success.

Companies that have consciously followed this
process have seen rapid, unprecedented levels of growth and or profitability.
Companies however normally
squander and disperse most of their energy, leading to low profitability,
growth, and quality. Click

Unfailing Success
There's one other important point to be made. To insure that the
company's movement to the next highest level is in fact accomplished, there needs to be
psychological commitment and desire for the endeavor, unrelenting effort to accomplish it,
and complete, persevering follow through to see that things are carried
out as
intended.
Often companies begin the process of moving to
the next level, but don't follow through, either because of lack of commitment, lost
interest, lack of effort, or the missing perseverance to see it through. If one overcomes
these limitations then one creates the conditions for unfailing success in moving to the
next level and unprecedented levels of accomplishment and success for the company.
YOUR COMPANY:
-Is there an overflowing of energy in the company at its current
level of accomplishment that could lead to a new level of growth and development, or is
there a struggle to stay at its current level? (If the latter, why is that the case, and
what can be done to improve the situation?)
-If there is an overflowing
of energy in the company at its current level of accomplishment, what are the opportunities
available in society, the marketplace, or the aspirations among people in the
company that would lead it the next level of accomplishment?
