What Got you here…

I was recently at a talk by Marshall Goldsmith entitled “what got you here won’t get you there”. His focus is on creating change at the highest levels of large companies. Perhaps his message can be generalized a bit…The ability for a company to adapt is a hallmark of success. Cheaper products, more customers, and refined business processes are among the tried and tested paths to growth. The real question is what tools can we use to enable this growth. Dr. Goldsmith says it won’t be the ones we are familiar with. Guy Kawasaki also preaches the importance of new, innovative tools to accomplish old tasks. The old paradigm is hiring one employee to create X output by Y unit of work. If suddenly you need 10X output, you better find 9 more employees or loose the customer. The modern solution to this problem is the flexible team – one that evolves as your business needs do (so that today you can have X output and tomorrow 12X and a month from now a stable 6X). I think this is one of the latest tools to get you there…What do you think?Learn how Inventure Global provides outsourcing for startups so you can accelerate growth, increase stability, and rest assured!
