Laying foundations for success
One of the stories from ancient wisdom is that of King Jehoshaphat (BC 850 approx) who had to work hard to change the narrative and reset the foundation for his nation.
He changed the nation from being a weak and poor nation to a self reliant nation that can stand the test of time. We have captured some of the principles in a different post.
In digital transformation industry, we have an opportunity to change the narrative and move the needle towards success in 2024.
Here are some of the observations that we can reflect on to change the narrative:
💜Focused work lead to better results: In our industry, the tend is to do as much as possible. This has lead to Hyperactivity and not real results. Focused time and targeted collective effort lead to better results
💜Quality and value of outcomes: Quality and value requires investment and commitment. Moving from ‘ticking the box’ approach to understanding which boxes to tick ✅ , leads to measured results.
💜Being clear on the big picture: Enabling everyone to stay true to the purpose and the big picture enables informed, better decisions leading to better outcomes with effective investment and minimizing waste.
2024 is predicted to be a big year for for us as many businesses are gearing up for what is next. Reminding each other of the following principles will enable us to change the narrative , deliver outcomes that make the world a better place.
💜Be informed, focus on things that matter
💜Remember the big picture and the big why
💜It’s a job, do it well. Remembering to look after yourself and those around has its rewards
Ancient wisdom has plenty of applications in the modern world. We will continue to explore and share as we continue to make the world a better place.
