Corporations operating in the same business model in the last 10 years are in danger of becoming obsolete. Except of course if you are Walmart or the likes. APC, DeBeers, Nokia, Monsanto, as discussed in details in this book, all had to transform from traditional product offerings to providing service solutions with their customers as the reason for transformation.
I read more non-fiction literary works but from time-to-time, I read self-help and business books. This one, "Executing Your Business Transformation" is co-authored by the two bigwigs in the company I currently working at. One of my fellow managers recommended this to me and it took me 3 months to finish 267-page business book because I found it very interesting that I read a few pages everyday. Also, most of the time, business and self-help books are not meant to be read straight in a few sittings. They are supposed to inspire and so you read portions of it depending on what interest you at a certain time.
The book could be an eye-opener for those who are always busy with so many firefighting activities in the office. It invites the reader to step back and see where, be it individually or as part of the team or even a business unit, the efforts and contributions are going. Is what I am doing a part of the transformation that somebody up there is driving the company to? Is there something that I or my team can contribute to this transformation? Giving the clear vision, mission, core values and defined goals, are my individual objectives and metrics (as individual) aligned with those? Or bringing this a notch higher: is there something in mind that I think the company should do to help in its transformation?
There are many thought-provoking insights offered by this book. There is this frightful idea that what made your business successful now can kill itself in the future. There is this challenging argument that your customer is NOT always right because they may not know what their actual need is. "There is no strategy if nobody knows what to do" is actually a title of the chapter that's a reminder that even the leader could be a hindrance for the business to transform.
Highly recommended for all individuals who are working in companies that are in the process of transformation.
Puwede rin sa lovelife kung di pa maka-move on. Transformation rin yon lol.
