| JAKE'S TAKE: Status Quo Won’t Grow | |||
I thought I would open this first edition of my commentary column with my favorite saying, “Status Quo Won’t Grow”. This statement is even more applicable today amidst global recession. Growth does not necessarily have to mean actual sales, but also could mean market share, product awareness, personnel development or operating margins as good examples. I would simply encourage all owners, managers and employees of any enterprise to seek out areas of your business model that can be innovated to gain a competitive edge or increase value-add. The hard truth is that greater than 50% of people in your enterprise do not want change, even though most say they do. Step on the accelerator and make it happen. Pick just one little thing in your business, change it or get rid of it, and see how this innovation stimulates your business. Jake VanderZanden |
