This is a disruptive change for all of us. Many organizations are getting the “wake-up” call right now but not sure where to look for solutions.
I see two aspects of a business that will need attention.
The Business System
Gino Wickman and his team developed an incredible system called the Entrepreneurial Operating System, also known as EOS. This solution will provide you a rock- solid process to operate your business through the toughest of times. It will help establish the vision, core values, right team and most importantly ensure alignment throughout.
The Digital Strategy
Remote work is now important right? Wrong. Keeping people and process connected should be the priority, regardless of physical location. We do not do a great job of connecting people digitally at the workplace. We all know that the digital connection with family and friends is real and you actually feel connected (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) because you know what’s going on – it works. Mark Mader and his team at Smartsheet will connect you at the office with your team in ways that you cannot imagine. Prepare your team for a new future where they have the comfort of knowing that they are connected to their teams like they are connected to their families and friends.
Tools have been selected and now you need to implement. This is where commitment, vision and strategy come in. Demonstrate that you are committed and the right team will follow you. Articulate your vision like the love you share with your family and the right team will follow you. Build an empathetic strategy from the ground up and the right team will follow you. You must have a burning passion to make change happen and an army of people that believe the future is bright and full of opportunity to succeed.
