Why change the way you do business? Because everything around your business is changing. The constant that you take for granted today—your suppliers, the government, the regulatory framework, availability of funding, competition structure, and currency volatility—has or could all be changed tomorrow. That means that you have to build flexibility into your business processes. Find a cheaper supplier? Move quickly enough and you can cut your own prices. Government upheaval? Get into a new market. Tariff’s are under pressure?

 

 

These are not just corrections to a spreadsheet or a contract. These involve fundamental transformations to the way your business operates. You need to build change into every facet of your operations, so reinvention becomes the daily work of your company.

 

It\'s not an easy task. But it means the difference between staying in control and getting overwhelmed by a fast-moving world. Manual processes, inflexible organization and sacred-cow-based strategies will forever impair a company\'s competitiveness. But a business that changes gracefully will avoid a world of trauma. Through disasters, disruptions and economic downturns, it will continue serving its customers, delivering value to stockholders and holding on to valued employees. The kind of deep, ongoing transformation we\'re talking about would have been unthinkable, if not impossible, just a few years ago. But new technologies are making it possible. And today\'s business world has made it not only thinkable, but imperative.

 

Here are just a few of the challenges that business transformation can help solve:

 

  • Consumers are growing more demanding. They want innovative high quality services. They want flawless customer service. And if they don\'t get it, they\'ll go to the competition.
  • Profits matter more than ever. In the short run and the long run. Costs may be rising, demand may be shrinking—but your shareholders, your board and the entire industry is watching your bottom line. And they\'re not listening to excuses.
  • Cost optimization-Horizontal or vertical integration, outsourcing or shared services, the key is to keep your organization as lean and flexible as possible.
  • Productivity is growing. New technologies and business practices make it possible for you to multiply the value of your employee\'s work and your company\'s assets. From vendor managed services to outsourcing, the benefits are out there, if you know how to take advantage of them.
  • Financial crisis and recession. You can\'t know what\'s coming next. But you can prepare for it by making your company resilient enough to keep working through the shocks.

 

What does a transformed business look like?

 

It\'s a work in progress. You won\'t come in to work one morning and find your transformation work is done. But you should have an end state in mind. Here\'s what a truly on demand business looks like:

It acts quickly, but its decisions are well thought out. It moves like a small company, but delivers like a big one. It dodges obstacles before competitors see them and grabs opportunities before competitors recognize them. Minimal investments yield maximum profits. Most of all, it delivers, with no excuses. Its customers keep returning, its partners want to expand their partnerships and stockholders smile and say very little.
