Cash is Oxygen During the Restructuring Process

Revenue is vanity, profit is reality and cash is certainty. In medical analogy, revenue is the food, profit is the water and cash is the oxygen. You cannot pay rent with profit, you can only pay your rent with hard cash. Cash talks, the rest walks.

Change Is Not Always Difficult

We are led to believe that change is hard to bring about. But why do we adapt to a new job so quickly?

Why Change Fails

With increasing pressure in the workplace, managers are required to continuously improve productivity, grow or contract their operations, outsource or insource, new system here, manage the legacy system there, acquire and dispose. The working environment is continually changing inside organizations, and for our customers it isn’t any easier. There isn’t always a willingness to accept the reality of change inside organizations, but since it’s a reality why do we always make it as hard as possible for ourselves. The key is that although we communicate more than ever, we aren’t good at managing the people-impacts of change.

The Power of Habit

We are all creatures of habit, whether we like it or not. Even though our habits often keep us in our comfort zone instead of reaching our goals, habits per se are not necessarily bad. Without habits, we would have to make conscious decisions at every turn.

How You View Change Is How You Do Change - Part Two

The perception we have of ourselves and the world is shaped by our need for stability and security in our lives. Driven by our need to survive both as a body and as a person we default to a perception of change as being threatening and frightening. Of course, if we remain as we are we cannot grow beyond our self-imposed limitations and limiting notions about what we can become and the contributions we can make. Most of us realize this and do make attempts from time to time to get out of the physical, psychological and spiritual ruts that keep us traveling along the same smooth, well-worn paths within our private comfortable universe. Unfortunately, most of our efforts to change go nowhere and wind up fueling our fears that change will be for the worse, not for the better. This failure to launch and consummate change serves to reinforce our pessimistic attitude toward it and harden our perception of the world as being antagonistic to our self-interests.

Put An End To Committees!

Committees have been the bane of management almost from the beginning of time. Like a number of other things in our world, you can’t live with ‘em, and you can’t live without ‘em, right?. Not so fast, friend. There may actually be a way to rid the business world of committees, once and for all.

Inevitable Change

Once there was a time in business when you could experience a change and then return to a period of relative stability. Nowadays, changes occur constantly - one on top of another. We need to acknowledge change and realize that change is a continuous journey - a way of life rather than a one-time event that can be lived through.

Corporate Suicide - Getting Bigger Instead Of Better

Work on becoming better and guess what, you naturally grow bigger. But pushing for size by itself makes you fatter, not bigger, less specialized and easier to succumb to the vagaries of internal and external forces. Often you lose what made you viable in the first place. A chicken that has wings does not mean it can fly. Similarly the big companies are not necessarily the better ones.

Become a C.O.P. in 2007-Change On Purpose

More than ever before, 2007 will demand of most companies the ability to achieve measurable results that are specific to profitability, growth, cost containment and operational effectiveness. Of course, none of this will be possible without leadership and organizational change. This challenge will become a common theme in 2007 that will go uncompromised by the potential market gymnastics that we are likely to face. Without a doubt, success in 2007 will be directly dependent upon both individual and team performance. More importantly however, is the driving force that creates both individual and team effectiveness. That driving force is leadership at every level in the organization.

Use Corporate Turnaround Expert To Do Business Health Check

Many companies have annual medical examinations and health screening for their employees but are negligent when it comes to their own corporate check-ups. Poor management and financial information systems typically get blamed for management's inability to 'see it coming'. Turnaround experts are better positioned to do this job as they have undertaken corporate turnaround assignments and therefore understand what make a company tick.

A Change Dilemma – Do I learn Too much?

Change and learning are highly correlated. Think about it: We learn at school and we change. This is a gradual change. The process of learning makes that we open up and see new possibilities we previously not imagined. We continue to learn at high school or university and there we change even more. The knowledge that we have gathered becomes a powerful source with which we can select what we want.

Change vs. Improvement - Movement Does Not Denote Progress

Don't assume moving means you're moving forward because change is exciting; but not always for the better.
