The key to a successful organization is to have a culture based on a strongly held and widely shared set of beliefs that are supported by strategy and structure. When an organization has a strong culture, three things happen: Employees know how top management wants them to respond to any situation, employees believe that the expected response is the proper one, and employees know that they will be rewarded for demonstrating the organization's values. Four quick ways to improve on your corporate culture are: 1. Encourage cross-team collaboration. 2. Offer flexible benefits. 3. Start a recognition program. 4. Incorporate modern technology

Executive Intelligence is described as the very essence of great leaders. One that separates good companies from the great.  Executive Intelligence In its simplest form,  is a distinct set of aptitudes that an individual must be able to demonstrate in three central contexts of work: the accomplishment of  tasks, working with and through other people, and judging  oneself and adjusting one’s behaviour accordingly. The more proficient an individual is in all three of those areas, the higher his or her level of Executive Intelligence. Executive Intelligence has its roots in what’s commonly known as critical thinking, but it isn’t the same as the abstract logic and reasoning skills often associated with the subject. Instead, it’s an expanded and applied type of critical thinking — how an individual skillfully uses the available information as a guide to thought and action. Like every other skill, a few are known to be natural at it while research has shown th...

Succession planning is a focused process for keeping the right talent in the pipeline for specific and sensitive positions.  It is generally a  process of preparation, not pre-selection. A common misconception of many business leaders and HR practitioners is that succession planning is a complex process and a practice restricted to the largest organizations with the most sophisticated organizational development departments.  On the contrary, succession planning can be of great value to smaller organizations that have fewer resources available for knowledge management programs and the formal, structured development of employees. Every organization should prepare and plan adequately for succession to ensure growth, sustainability and relevance. Want to know how to build a culture of churning out the best heads for top management and other sensitive positions within your organisation? Talk to us today. 

Always remember this... What got you where you are right now would certainly not be of use  getting you where you should or ought to be. That's the Growth Mindset. Notes from the CEO.

Digital Business Transformation Recent research has shown that large corporations and businesses that have not embraced digital transformation processes within the last decade and most recently the new order of work or business thrusted on the world by the COVID-19 pandemic have either lost their relevance, struggled to stay in competition or outrightly disappeared from the scene. Digital Business Transformation is organizational change through the use of digital  technologies and business  models to improve performance.” In other words, what’s important  is not the digital  technology in itself. The real focus is on transforming the business; technology  only serves to support the new business model. Reach out to us today to disvover how digital transformation can help your business be on time, real-time, for the time.

Over the years, in my foray in the Corporate and Public sphere especially engaging with leaders in management and governance, I have come to realise that each individual has a personality brand; that is how you are perceived by others in or outside your circle (friends, business partners, clients, family, employees, public etc). Truth is, it doesn't change if you are conscious or ignorant of it but it does help invaluably if you choose to take cognitive responsibility for your personal brand. Personal Branding is based on a person's authenticity and a genuine desire to add value to those around them.  Personal Branding is the scorecard that measures a leader's core message delivery, their professional presence in person and online and their application of foundational values both in and out of the office. This is not only a needed value but an essential one that seems to have waned in appreciation but is highly sought after as the world embraces the new virtual ...
