Ancient wisdom suggests that an army of one can move a thousand times faster than an army of one thousand. The same could be said of a corporation. Large corporations have made significant advancements in efficient use of their resources, such as workforce productivity, efficiency of invested capital and leveraged financing. However, very few corporations have figured out how to make their companies move fast and change quickly in the marketplace.
Small companies often use their size to their advantage against larger competitors by moving quickly and being nimble. But as companies grow they usually put in place procedures and policies that seem to detract from their pace of action. How can growing companies maintain their speed and agility while at the same time provide the order and discipline that larger companies need?
At LogiStyle we assist companies develop a culture of speed and agility. We believe that in order for a company to act with speed it must empower its employees to detect where action needs to be taken, distribute the decision making authority across the organization to evaluate the options and decide on a course of action, and tolerate a level of risk in taking the action without inordinate reviews. Hence we focus on:
Empowerment
Decision Making
Risking to Win
We help a corporation put in place specific tactical tools in each of these three areas. As with all LogiStyle programs, these topics, as soft as they may seem, are analyzed logically with concrete and distinct alternatives forcing the leadership of the company and the participants of the program to make some hard choices that determine the speed with which the organization moves.
