How Does Business Transformation Really Happen?

Simply - No Guts no glory.  It's that simple. And that hard.

Business Transformation is such a buzz word these days - everybody wants it. "Dominate the market...Innovate...Change the game...Recapture marketshare...Completely revamped your business model, delivery channels, partnerships, alliances" ...and the buzz goes on!

But few understand what this really means.It boils down to two changes you need to make: bring in new creative talent or jump start your existing talent. Typically both are required. And they figure out what markets you'll serve, products and services you'll offer, strategy or process re-engineering you will need to employ. This requires you must be decisive and willing to take the bold stands around people and their performance. You can't do this without a clear vision.

Then you must STAY the course. There is no way around one universal law of how TRUE dramatic change of organizations and people work: it takes time and effort.

Do you really have the strength, stamina, fortitude and guts to lead this effort? Or are you talking a good game?
