In business, whether you’re an entrepreneur, manager or an operations expert, each day unavoidably brings challenges from within and from without, new opportunities that can be used, as well as crises that must be solved. If you detect that recognized opportunities remain unused (as unrealized ideas or plans that are but formalities), while crises escalate and remain inadequately solved, this means that there is a “bug” somewhere. And these are all common phenomena in conditions of significant and continuous changes in the environment which mostly happen behind the scenes, with entrepreneurial organizations remaining unchanged, in their original state when the challenges were completely different.
Focusing on the right things, on recognizing the possibilities of the organization, and on choosing the best business options, saying ‘no’ to the dangerous and unsustainable habit of trying to hit every target at the same time, selecting and understanding the winning synergy of the short term and the long term, these are all permanent needs of entrepreneurial organizations. They require systematic work, the development and adaptation of strategies and people, economically justified experiments and learning from mistakes, and internal communication based on openness and trust.
Today, entrepreneurs witness, more and more, the problem of organizational units and teams that are just perfect while performing routine tasks, but when things go sideways – since routines are disappearing – and when there is a need for quick transformations, different actions, pro-activeness and innovation – teams fall apart, results are lacking and everything goes to hell.
We have long years of entrepreneurial and operational experience, as in smaller systems, so in corporations, including some international market leaders. It is precisely this experience, along with our continuous improvement, that forms the basis of our consulting services. We observe, we consider, we discuss, we develop several solution scenarios, contemplate the best option, but, most importantly, we don’t stay there. We don’t stop with a nicely written analysis, presentation, strategy or operational plan recommendation, but instead, we wish to remain ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with our clients, implementing what we have thought of together. We monitor and encourage the implementation of what was planned, and we change and improve things. We want our clients to be good, better, best, capable to survive in the long run, with sustainable growth and development, and with equitable benefits for all.
