could you be sleepwalking towards corporate destruction?
Are you sleepwalking towards corporate destruction? Do you care?
Will you take the red pill or the blue pill? Do you want to know what the future will look like or not?
The End is Nigh. No really, this time it might be.
Climate change demonstrations on the streets of major cities around the world are a wake up call that we cannot continue to consume our planet’s natural resources as we have been. Conservative estimates suggest that we are already using 1.7x the sustainable resources of the Earth in a year, by 2120 we will be using 3x the sustainable amount.
As you read this you may have your metal water bottle on your desk, your vegan packed lunch and a sustainable coffee cup in your bag but will any of these measures really protect you from what is happening every day in our overpopulated, overheated, under resourced planet?
Have you switched off yet? Read it all before?
The huge problems facing our planet are so monumental that it has become all to easy to ignore them. The problems seem too big to solve so we don’t even try. Eventually the protesters are cleared off the streets once again and life goes back to normal. But what is normal? Why do we choose to ignore the big picture?
In the corporate world the story is the same. The over-used example of how market leader Kodak ignored the rise of digital imagery has become as faded as an old photograph – we understand the message but we no longer feel the sting of story.
Big companies fail by ignoring the world around them. It is that simple. Evolution and innovation are not simply buzz words, they are essential practices. Without them there is no future. Literally adapt or die.
Look around you, how many of these do you see within your own company?
Slow decision making
Layers of bureaucracy
A lack of personal accountability
Not enough people taking the initiative
