Happy Friday! I hope you are all doing well.

I’ve been currently reading, “Business Adventures” by John Brooks and am fascinated by Xerox’s culture during the late 1940s. I learned that employees put up their mortgages to ensure the success of the company. Will your employees be willing to do that for your company?!

Nevertheless, today’s E.O.W Notable Tip is about how to make quicker informed strategic decisions. Like always, remember, “Success is continuous improvement!”

“To reduce the decision making cycle time opt for collaborative discussions and brainstorm sessions, create a small team of key people from each department ( 4-5 max) and ask them to create industry and customer value maps with a competitive analysis comparison with recommendations per insights gathered, visually display these maps to the whole team and have them vote for the best profitable strategy that suits your company’s current capabilities.”
