Seven Great Thoughts which can transform organizations (Culturally and financially) if applied with right spirit

By: P R Ramesh, Principal Trainer and Coach, Seven Steps Business Transformation Systems

1) In god we trust, all others bring data - Dr Edward Deming

If applied, this will easily reduce 75 % of meeting time. Most of the organizations spend hours together in meetings without data.  Arguments, assumptions, opinions take everyone's valuable time. You can make a poster of above quote and display in all meeting areas.

2) The greatest danger for most of us is NOT that our aim is too high and we miss it, BUT that it is too low and we reach it!  - Michelangalo

I have seen organizations taken mediocritic goals, exceed them and celebrate when their competitors doing ten times better by challenging status quo. If this principle is adopted, we can utilize our people potential to their best

3)" If I had 8 hours to chop a tree, I would spend 6 hours sharpening my axe"

Planning, training and development taken back seat in many organizations.  Most of the time senior management will be busy in fire-fighting. By following this principle we can prepare the organization for future (Refer: 4 quadrants of time management by Stephen covey- This is a second quadrant activity)

4) We are what we repeatedly do; Excellence then, is not an act, but a Habit – Aristotle

Consistency is the biggest problem in most of the organizations. We start with great initiatives and don’t sustain them. Like Dr Deming said, “Secret of success is constancy of purpose”. 

5) “It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them”- Mark Twain
Think about ISO 9000 certificates, excellence awards etc... 
6) “Give a man a fish, feed him for a day….
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.”

Great organizations are those which have less problem reporters and more problem solvers.  With proper mentoring, we can create more problem solvers.

7) What cannot be measured, cannot be managed

We need to move from no measurements/vague measurements to clear operational definitions and measurements. This alone will bring in 50 % improvement in any improvement project.

And the eighth quote ……………………….. Which is a pre-requisite!

“Vision without action is merely a dream.
Action without vision just passes the time.
Vision with action can change the world

– Joel Barker
