Ability to focus the resources
Focusing IT staff, money, and technology resources on key priorities of the company is essential to achieving success. The technology resources must be focused on initiatives that are in sync with company needs and objectives, and they must deliver in a productive, cost-effective manner. Career-minded people at any level understand the need for strong focus.
Resources are a strategic business-consulting firm that has commercialization as its middle name. You know your product, technology, or service. We know business.
Focus is our strategy and our purpose. We work with new, early stage and established businesses on ensuring that the business operations – processes, activities, and infrastructure – are appropriate and adequate to support the financial performance and strategic objectives of our clients.
Everything a business does and doesn’t do is reflected in the financial performance – the bottom-line. It isn’t enough to grow revenues. You must also be able to grow profits and generate cash. How you generate financial results is a measure of your…
Imagine that success is like gaining entrance to a vault of riches with three locks to open. Now these locks aren't like the usual padlocks, door locks, or other real life, tangible mechanisms opened with traditional keys (or brute force). These locks are more like those portrayed in the science fiction adventures. You know the ones that require solving a riddle, navigating narrow ledges with chasms and torment all around, and then finding the combination of symbols on tiles or buttons to maneuver. Solve the puzzle, make the right moves, and Voila! You are there! The treasure is yours. Of course, on the way out you have the challenge of keeping it away from bandits and opportunists (and the part they never show the tax man), but that is the subject of another story.
Ability to build the team
Teamwork is essential for competing in today's global arena, where individual perfection is not as desirable as a high level of collective performance. In knowledge-based enterprises, teams are the norm rather than the exception. A critical feature of this team is that they have a significant degree of empowerment, or decision-making authority. There are many different kinds of teams: top management teams, focused task forces, self-directed teams, concurrent engineering teams, product/service development and/or launch teams, quality improvement teams, and so on.
The quality of your work is a measure of the quality of yourself. We all derive pride and self-esteem from accomplishing tasks in an excellent fashion. Successful completion of a worthy task means that it was not only attempted, but it was completed to certain standards of performance or better. Worthy means it was something that needed doing whether it was typing of a document or diagnosis of an illness. It was a task that somebody had to do and do correctly.
High levels of remuneration and job security are dependent upon three keys; what you do, how well you do it and how difficult it is to replace you. Accordingly, our highly competitive employment market only pays superior rewards to recipients who render worthy superior performances.
Your goal at work should therefore be to get good, get better and to be the best possible, to such a point where you seemingly become indispensable to the organisation. Here are ten concepts to help you improve your levels of quality and excellence at work:
Organisations that are continually productive and profitable incessantly strive for quality and excellence. Acknowledging that your customers are not prepared to accept an attitude of "that's good enough," how does your organisation's quality standards rate as against its competitors? How do your own personal levels of excellence and quality rate against your current and potential competitors in the employment market? If you don't know the answer/s to these questions, then resolve to find them out immediately. The longer you delay, the larger the gap may be growing between you and your competition!
