Blueprint for Strategic Business Productivity & Innovation

Every business needs a Competitive Advantage to attract and engage customers and drive profitable sales. But how can you expect customer loyalty if your employees are not engaged?

Businesses are primarily geared for external marketing and often lack the skills and resources to first ‘sell’ the brand message internally and provide all employees with a strategic focus for daily operations.

Enduring business success is anchored to the employees’ understanding of the company’s strategic goals and brand message. Statistics show that:

  • Only 68% of employees are proud to work for their employer
  • Only 69% believe their work is valued
  • 20% don’t have a clear vision of what is expected of them in their role
  • Only 58% of an employee’s day is spent on work that directly adds ‘real value’
  • Nearly 40% of CEOs don’t communicate strategic objectives to employees and are not involved in the innovation process.

The biggest impact on Productivity is when these statistics are projected on the most qualified employees who should be creating and adding value to the business. Providing a clear Mission to all employees is mission-critical. When correctly executed, Mission creates the road-map for the entire organisation. It remindspeople who they are and what they are best at, and how to find the best path to reach the goal.

What are Non-Negotiable Principles?

Non-Negotiable Principles is a small set of phrases which translate the Company’s Mission into a simple guidelines for all employees to understand, relate to, and apply to daily decisions and activities. By daily proactice, employees and the organisation are conditioned for agile change .

Non-Negotiable Principles enable Leaders to drive strategy, brand differentiation and consistent customer experience in every part of business. You can easily test them with a single question:

“Will this action support our Non-Negotiable Principle?”

It gives the employees a clear focus on what is to be achieved and how to know it is being achieved helping people become more productive, and more confident in the accuracy of their decisions so that they have more time and more capacity to think “Innovation”.
