Is imitation the most sincere form of flattery?

Mahmoud Elsisi, CPP Master at Red Crescent, wins this months ‘spot of imitation’ with an article published by McKinsey. 

And you know we are so proud when someone outlines the approach, so have a look at and tell us what you think..http://www.mckinsey.com/insights/business_technology/accelerating_the_digitization_of_business_processes


Holacracy, Organispheres and Customer Centricity – Fad or Fiction?

Ii is a world of hyperbole and it would be easy to overlook this books claim of ‘revolutionary’ and the abolition of hierarchy . More of the same copy-writer promises that quickly prove unfounded when you delve into the first chapter? Not so with this one.

Some folks may already know of Brian J. Robertson from his early days as inventor of the Commodore 64. And yes I can hold my hand up to that one also having spent many late nights mastering donkey kong in an earlier phase of existence. Now Brian plays in Google and his insights provide a powerful read that most likely will cause you to reassess the way you think of management systems. Or don’t bother and you may end up like Kodak.

Are you doing wrong things faster?

A common sentiment is ‘Any effort is better than none’. Is that true?
Not so. Getting better at doing things right, rather than doing the right things is at best a distraction from delivering successful customer outcomes, and at worse will threaten the well being of the company. For example Nokia, Sony, Kodak and Blockbuster. 

All these companies ‘invested’ significantly in doing things right, however did not understand the shifting market, lost sight of the successful customer outcome, and in quick turn crashed and burnt.

You may be doing things right, but are you doing the right things?
