Economic crisis!
Due to the recent economic crisis, it has become apparent that our current system of numbers is no longer working. To address this crisis, a new set of symbols has been created to replace the current numbers 1 10. It is imperative that we learn these new symbols as quickly as possible. Our world as we know it, depends on each of us to do our best!

An organizational Window of Opportunity

S E R V I C E S / P R O D U C T S PEOPLE

The spider must weave its web within its window of opportunity to capture and hold onto its nourishment. If there is a break in its web, the spider must act quickly to close the gap, or it goes hungry. If its web doesnt cover the entire opening, potential nourishment will continue to fly through its window of opportunity.

Nourishment or Nuisance?

How do you view your customers? 4 5 6 Is your organization aligned with your 7 8 9 thinking?
PERFORMANCE

Organizations must create systems that are aligned to capture and hold onto customers. Where pieces of the entire system are not aligned, organizations lose their competitive edge. Higher costs due to lower quality and productivity create opportunities for customers to want to look elsewhere.

All organizations operate within a generic framework consisting of Products or services offered, People who do the work, Processes that facilitate the work and Performance metrics that measure success. How organizations operate within this framework determines their success.
