IT Factor - February 2023
Here's what happened in February:
Operational Excellence Driving Performance & Growth
A Forbes?post?notes that excellence is not to be confused with efficiency. While efficiency is a hallmark of excellent organizations, it’s only one component of excellence. Excellence, says Forbes, is “a culture of teamwork, problem-solving and leadership that brings about the desired results.” Forbes further notes that operational excellence is focused on high-quality customer service, customer experience and products. Fair enough, and measurable, but those goals are unlikely to be met by a disgruntled team.
That’s why we believe excellence begins with goals around organizational culture. More specifically, organizations should strive to create and foster an environment where team members feel that their voices are heard and valued. We’ve seen vivid examples of what happens when organizations fail to achieve this goal, in the Great Resignation and so-called quiet quitting trend.
