Who is the Red Digital in Your Industry?
Next Practices Ideas, processes, concepts and solutions that move us beyond the “status quo”. Not “how are others doing it best” but rather, “where do we go from here that represents a true fundamental shift in value”…
5 Key Steps to Next Practices 1. Craft a Winning Vision 2. Identify Internal Barriers 3. Connect to Business Value Creation 4. Individual-Team Focus 5. Develop, Test, Launch, Reject or Accept
The Issue For a leader, success or failure is made in the first 100 days.
The 100 Day Implementation Plan 1. What is the size of your project- people impacted, $? 2. What resistance have you encountered in the past to project implementation, acceptance? 3. How will you know you are successful (metrics) 4. How fast can you accommodate changes- structural, process wise?
Your Challenge? What are the biggest challenges that you would expect to face in the first 100 days of a launch? What has been your organization track record of managing change in general, adoption of new systems and practices specifically?
The Top 5 Fails 1. Tried to do too much 2. Did too little 3. Operated in a vacuum 4. My way or the highway 5. Politically/culturally tone deaf
What is your Personal “Brand”? What will be said within the organization regarding your initiative ?
Rule # 1 It is not about you , it is about how effectively you unleash the collective intellect, energy, passion, focus and measurable results of the entire organization.
Rule # 2 Your implementation must spark accountability, adaptability, urgency and initiative.
Rule # 3 A good plan, well executed, with a sense of urgency, trumps the perfect plan sitting on the shelf…
Brand Definition A brand is any proprietary visual, emotional, rational or cultural image associated with a corporation, product or service or individual.
