<span>CEO Success Demystified</span> </li> </ul> </h3> </div> </div> </section> <div class="Wrapper article-container"> <section class="MainContent"> <section class="content-container"> <div class="display-authors-short"> By <span>Richard Moore</span> </div> <hr /> </section> <div class="intro-content"> <p>Several of the most successful companies in the world only became so after committing to a radical departure from their original products, services or even industry. Before disruption forces your hand or the zeitgeist slips away, rethinking your organisation from the top down can be a provocative effort to spark valuable insights that otherwise would have gone unnoticed. Here are the most important 4 principles to apply when you rethink your organisation.</p> </div> <h2>1. Your Organisation Needs Ruthless Focus</h2> <p>Results come from a moment or point of value being created – where a need is addressed, and revenue or service is initiated. Is the value you provide a product, a service or a relationship – or a combination of all three? Is it changing over time?</p> <p>If you design your organisation around your future value creation point, where you meet the customer, you will have proper focus. And this generally leads to a simpler, leaner and more focussed organisation.</p> <p>The first principle to apply is to have <strong>ruthless focus</strong>, to know what you must be great at and place it at the heart of your organisation. Only when your resources are concentrated on where you create value, is your organisation set up for success.</p> <h2>2. Extreme Flexibility Is a Must</h2> <p>Full flexibility demands speed and ready adaptation in your cost base, supply chain, people, strategy and organisation structure. An organisation that cannot rapidly change will become weaker because technology and competition move customer and supplier realities faster than ever before. If you need to move from just-in-time to just-in-case; from face to face value creation to digital; from Europe to Asia. Can you learn fast enough?</p> <p>Businesses fail where their ability relative to others to adapt is the lowest. There is no reason for that weakness to be in organisational agility. Fewer layers, devolved decision making, smart use of technology all increase flexibility. And selecting leaders that can adapt, act fast to achieve new results is vital. Flexible organisations need leaders that make things happen through influence and relationships rather than formal hierarchical power. The second principle, therefore, is <strong>extreme flexibility</strong>.</p> <h2>3. If You’re Not Completely Sustainable You’re Temporary</h2> <p>A focused and flexible organisation may survive for some time. But long-term prosperity requires sustainability. The bedrock of sustainability is economic strength and resilience. This requires the ability to create and control financial performance and manage cash and resources through the highs and lows of economic cycles.</p> <p>Sustainable organisations also require an intent – a clear vision and values – that give meaning to employees and stakeholders beyond financial performance.</p> <p>Finally, clear governance and leader accountability is also needed to create stability. Only sustained and responsible management of engagement, performance, strategy implementation and risk control will ensure longevity. The third principle to apply is <strong>complete sustainability</strong>. This requires resilience in economy, a meaningful purpose and effective leader accountability.</p> <h2>4. Your Organisation Is Already a Network of Teams – Encourage It</h2> <p>Team based set-ups cope well with rapid change in the environment – better than traditional functionally based bureaucracies. New opportunities and challenges are normally best reached with teams. Small teams are the most close and agile but lack resources and connections that bring power to solve problems. Large teams can become distant with members disconnecting. And ineffective teams can be opportunistic, lose focus and become prone to weak cost control without enough governance.</p> <p>Effective teams have shared goals and purpose, well-selected specialists, the right dynamic and are well led toward measurable results. Trust within teams is vital – but so it trust between teams. Trust between teams enables collaboration, effective specialisation for a given situation, rapid deployment and empowered problem solving. Networking across teams reduces silos, accelerates learning, allows knowledge to flow more freely and creates more opportunities. The fourth principle to apply in organising for success is well networked teams.</p> <blockquote> <p>All of us operate amidst unique opportunities, challenges and constraints right now. And tomorrow. Even so applying these 4 principles that underpin effective organisation to your situation – ruthless focus, extreme flexibility, complete sustainability and well networked teams – will increase your organisation's success.</p> <p><a href="/no-no/institute/outperform-in-uncertain-times/"><em>Extracted from a Series of Articles by MU CEO, Richard Moore.</em></a></p> </blockquote> <section
