PLANNING FOR STATUS QUO?

Are you planning to improve your organization this year? or are you gearing up to do the same-old, same-old?

A lot of organizations these days tend to do the latter. They think that by cruising along and being more busy (than means doubling up on the amount of programs and activities), they are being strategic and effective. Effectiveness here means in my vocabulary the ability to achieve the outcomes and results they wish to seek through their efforts.

Businesses, nonprofits, and governments cruising along and wishfully thinking that they can copy past success by doing the same thing are totally misled.  If there is no effort to improve and surpass past year's performance, status can keeps mean sweeping the problem under the rug delaying  the resolution of some of the issues pestering the organization that will actually help the organization move forward.

Are you stalling to discuss the next direction of your organization for fear of catching more problems than anticipated? What about the changing environment where complacency doesn't do you any good?

Get out of your comfort bubble and tackle the obstacles in building a new and secure strategic direction before an overwhelming situation compels it at your own expense
