"The more ‘knowledge work’ replaces physical labor, the
output of which can be easily weighed and measured, and the more our
economy tilts toward services and intangibles, the more thoughtful
organizations must be about how they define their aspirations and
measure their performance."
~ Joan Magretta, author
What Management Is
To advance, a company becomes authentic: it transforms through awareness, alignment & discipline
Business Optimization: What Does it Mean? And Why do WE Offer this Program?
Business Optimization is a recurring lifecycle that must take place in every company that grows. Vital Sourcing provides a Business Optimization program for three simple reasons: 1.) Our clients experience rapid growth when we increase their profits by sourcing products from China. 2.) "Rapid growth" sounds good, but companies often fail to advance as they can due to fundamental problems with business systems, internal strategies and communications. 3.) We have experience in working with and delivering programs that help solve these problems, and intuitively recognize that if our clients grow - then so do we.
Tangible Results Quickly Filtering the Touchy-Feely:
In the field of Organizational Development, there is allot of terminology tossed around. Entire programs are built around phrases like "emotional intelligence" and "environmental scans." Regardless of the terminology, what we learn in the end is that the old 80/20 rule still applies -- 20% of the variables create 80% of the results.
Recognizing the hot points comprising that critical 20% is a key to growth, achieved by identifying where executive and employee emotions relative to the organization's daily business operations are at their highest.
Our program defines and applies this qualitative data, delivering immediate results to your "business systems" and long-term results to your company's growth and position.
Contact us today for scheduling a time to initiate our program for you.
Program Philosophy & Approach Keeping it Quick and Cost Effective:
We believe the 80/20 rule also applies to most Organizational Development ("OD") programs -- 20% of the program is responsible for 80% of the impact it has on a company.
Our approach leverages a combination of traditional and leading-edge OD techniques adapted from various successful programs. We believe in working at a fast pace to save time and money.
Vital Sourcing's philosophy on Business Optimization boils down to simple "Systems Principals," two of which are at the core of our approach: 1.) 90% of the results are created by the SYSTEMS - not the people who work in them. 2.) Approximately 50% of the Systems is Structural (how we do things)
and 50% of the of Systems is People (how we feel about things).
Both are Equally important.
The Three-Phase Process Awareness, Alignment, Discipline:
Phase 1.) Awareness: This phase measures the organization's current reality using surveys and facilitation tools targeted at identifying the vision, leverage points and people that can accelerate change in the organization.
Phase 2.) Alignment: Beginning with the Red-Dot Exercise, Phase 2 boils down into actionable projects or programs with owners and deadlines - each representing an opportunity to align, improve or create the systems.
Phase 3.) Discipline: This phase focuses on long-term systems, including meeting techniques associated with the key 20% of variables that create results.
