¨We’re from Corporate, and we’re here to help.”Multiple layers of management create "analysis paralysis“ in a frequently
bureaucratic and highly political environment
“The good old days meet a brave new world.”Too large and complex to be effectively controlled by a small team, this organization has yet to "democratize" decision-making authorit.
“Let 1,000 flowers bloom.”This organization has scores of smart, motivated, and talented people, but they rarely pull in the same direction at the same time.
“Succeeding by the skin of our teeth…”While inconsistently prepared for change, this organization can “turn on a dime” when necessary, without losing sight of the big picture
“Flying in formation”Often driven by a small, involved senior team, it succeeds through superior execution and the efficiency of its operating model
“As good as it gets”Flexible enough to adapt quickly to external market shifts, it still remains steadfastly focused on and aligned behind a coherent business strategy
