How to coach your employees

What’s wrong in your company? My top indicators that your executives - and thus your company - is stuck with an old mindset. It’s my guesstimate that only 15% of the larger companies today have an executive suite and an organizational setup that allows them to turn the impact of digitalization and new technologies - and thus the use of corporate innovation - into their favor and do better than their competitors. The good thing is that companies in general are improving. The bad thing is that so many companies are still stuck with old mindsets and outdated structures and capabilities. Here’s my top four indicators that I use to assess whether a company is stuck with a wrong, old mindset and thus belong to the “85% group” of companies that are losing right now or do well as in the “15% group”. 1) How your executives balance their focus between day-to-day activities and creating the future 2) How your executives approach talent management (time spent, quality of initiatives) 3) Your efforts and initiatives related to data scientists, ML and AI 3) The extent of which middle managers stop innovation just by doing their job I am happy to have a discussion within your company to see where you stand and more importantly what you can do about it.
