If You Don't Toot Your Own Horn, Then There's No Music
There used to be a time when outstanding performance on the job was reinforced, recognized and rewarded by employers. Nowadays, employees are expected to perform “above the line” in terms of their performance. The reward, if any, is the employer’s expectation that the employee should be glad to have a job at all.

The only organisation that is not ripe for change is one that has absolutely no constraints to its performance.

Even if such an organisation exists on this planet, I can bet my last dollar that it's not yours. That means I can tell almost without looking, that you're ripe for change. How do I know?
You're Ripe for Change if the Market Limits How Much Money You Make
Your products or services are good. Your delivery and due date performance is alright. There's just one little problem: you can't seem to find enough demand for your offerings and inventories are building up. If this describes your situation then your organisation is ripe for change.
You're Ripe for Change if Your Operations Limit Your Throughput
As your business has grown, your products or services have become fraught with problems of quality. Or your costs over time have increases faster than your revenues, making your offerings less than competitive. Or you are not able to produce fast enough to meet demand, so that disappointed customers are turning elsewhere. If this is the case, then your organisation is ripe for change.
You're Ripe for Change if Your Policies Lead to Lost Opportunities
You have policies that determine recruitment, financing options, market opportunities pursued, sales strategies... All well and good. But these same policies have been in place for the last five or more years and no one can explain why some of them were adopted in the first place. If this describes your organisation, then you are ripe for change.

Brand Identity Company - Brand Identity Guru
Hiring a brand identity company is very important. In every marketing campaign, your company should have a solid brand identity on which to hang its hat. Over time, no matter what your ad at the moment says, your brand identity will be the thing people remember and what that gets them to call you when a need arises. Unsure about your brand identity? Then you should consider hiring a brand ident

Organization Design Models
Deming advocates the use of statistics to control quality by measuring waste and defects in manufacturing. The maintenance of formal procedures is a prerequisite to certification under various quality codes. It goes further than Taylor because computing power simplifies the gathering and processing of data to measure performance against pre-determined standards and against a worker’s peers. As

How Non-Quality Data Can Cost Money
IntroductionWhen viewed from a high level, the cost of poor quality data can affect a company’s bottom-line in two ways. First, there’s the cost of scrap and rework, and second, missed opportunities.An example of scrap and rework costs might be when an agent errs in recording a customer’s address details, and consequently a marketing premium is sent to th
ur offerings less than competitive. Or you are not able to produce fast enough to meet demand, so that disappointed customers are turning elsewhere. If this is the case, then your organisation is ripe for change.

Brainstorming To Create New Ideas
Brainstorming is one of the oldest of the modern creative thinking techniques. Originally developed in 1941 by Alex F Osborn, it was first called "thinking up". Later Alex Osborn coined the term "Brainstorming". Brainstorming is primarily a technique of using ideas from a group of people to provide ongoing stimulation to that group in order to create more ideas. These ideas are then combine

You're Ripe for Change if Your Culture Rewards the Wrong Behaviour
Yours is a culture that mouths cooperation while rewarding unhealthy competition among the workforce. While claiming to encourage the innovative ideas no matter where they're from, it is well known that only ideas from the bosses have a chance of seeing the light of day. If your organisation is like this, then you're ripe for change.
You're Ripe for Change if You're Not Sure How Well You're Doing
You operate from day to day, and your information systems capture mainly financial (and some operational) performance data. You have no systems for obtaining a balanced and predictive view of your business. Thus, important decisions relating to customers and markets, product variety, competitive response etc are made on less than objective grounds. If this describes your organisation, then you are ripe for change.
While several approaches and tools exist for tackling specific changes that might be called for, an overarching method for creating breakthrough solutions is available. It is the 2000 Percent Solution method invented by Donald Mitchell and Carol Coles and described in their book of the same title. Following the prescribed eight step process, individuals and organisations have been able to obtain 20 times their usual results using the same resources. The 2000 Percent Solution will be the subject of our next article.
