Welcome to this edition of The OE.
It’s tough out there! Much of the focus right now is ‘cost optimisation’ or ‘finding efficiencies’ – a move to simplify structures and strip out cost from the business. But if your organisation is to flourish in the future, then you need to protect the core and preserve the very essence that makes your business special.
In this edition of The OE, we focus on organisation reviews that make the business more efficient whilst also retaining the ‘magic’. Leading such organisational change requires a different leadership mindset, one which can operate effectively across three time horizons. For organisations to really flourish, we believe that leaders will need to build a foundation on the WHY of work and enable employees to follow their passion.
Our final article brings these ideas together to think about leading change in turbulent times and asks whether as a leader, do you actually do what you say you’ll do? And we’re delighted to have a guest contributor, Paul Donovan, who shares his seven big takeaways on turning around challenged businesses to build sustainable value. As Paul says “has there ever been a better time to be a leader?”
As always, we welcome your feedback and look forward to hearing what you think.
