How To Compete And Succeed ‘In A Flat World’

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Improve Academy, Innovation Management, Management, Personal Development, Workplace Learning

Whether you are in business or not, you are always competing. We are always competing.

Because life is about doing things. To compete and succeed in today’s world, you have got to be really good at what you are doing.

And you have to be different. And you also have to be authentic. If not, you are just kidding yourself.

If you want to win, you must reach out to people who can help you get better, who can help you move to your next level.

Because we don’t know everything. ‘The company’s strength lies not as much in the competencies that it possesses as much in the competencies it can connect to. This means that the capability to connect to competencies- the capability for network orchestration- and the capability for learning might be becoming as important as any firm-specific capabilities.’

‘Build the company around the customer- balancing customer needs with a profitable business. To build your business, give it to your customers. The more the business focuses on the concerns of the customer and customer’s customer, the faster it will grow.’

‘In a flat-round world, our actions need to balance the ideal and the reality, to take advantage of the opportunities the flat world presents without overlooking the limitations and opportunities of the round world.’

‘The challenge is to ride the wave of consumer market growth without getting too far ahead or behind.’

‘By rethinking the supply chain and transforming the customer from a passive recipient to an active participant, companies have an opportunity to create and capture more soft dollar value.’

‘Interaction with other customers in other parts of the world gives suppliers a broader view of the context of their projects and a more creative solution set.’

‘Customer needs might change, but a flexible organization with a flexible supply network can reconfigure itself to meet the changes of its customers.’

‘The purpose of stretch objectives is to make managers and employees uncomfortable, to push them to do more than they think is possible.’

‘Stretch targets result not only in transformation of the business, but in tremendous gains in performance.’

‘Compliance in this world is much more about carrots than sticks (although there is combination of both). The focus is primarily on setting clear guidelines, offering education, and then inspecting to ensure results.’

‘Are you more focused on filling your capacity or serving customers?’
