All the great inventions of humanity, all that exist today that people created and made possible will at one point become obsolete and will be replaced by newer and quality improved products and services.

We replace physical things – old equipment, old software, old manuals, and old procedures in the same way as we renew our old beliefs, old habits, and the old way of doing things – our old way of being.

Focus on ONE THING at a time

One improvement at a time. One betterment at a time. One solution at a time.

The way to a higher self is burning and painful but challenging and rewarding at the same time. We tend to trade off and throw away, to destroy and unlearn our inefficiencies, inadequacies, failures for something of a higher value, newer and more effective. Our desire, in other words, is something that will serve and inspire us on the way to excellence; something that will increase our competitiveness and bring the highest rewards. We should abandon everything else that does not produce results, everything that doesn’t serve you on this journey and everything that doesn’t put you closer to the final/desired outcome.

Similarly, as ever-changing live units, businesses are influenced and determined by the markets in which they operate, demands they intend to satisfy and serve, supplies and inputs they consume and passionate people that make them successful and grow.

Innovation and improvements are the neverending processes

The law of incremental improvement is telling us that to be competitive in years to come; we have to reexamine, redefine, improve and reinvent our business models, our people, and our practices on a regular and continuous basis. Unfortunately, this alone will be insufficient in days to come.

The entrepreneurs, CEOs, business owners, and managers will face tough reality and immerse pressure while attempting to drive their units and achieve the numbers they set for themselves. Things will get even harder with innovations, outsourcing, new competitors, and changes in demands, market fluctuations and reactions. Shifts in customers’ experiences, preferences and market demands will be impossible to satisfy by merely following the pack. Shifts will happen overnight, and only the most prepared will be able to absorb them. Only those brave enough to stretch beyond their comfort zone will prevail.

Is there a solution?

A business can be positively influenced as a whole and on almost every level of its existence. The power of small wins that work as catalysts of change and then grow in numbers and intensity can make a significant impact on every organisation. The process of reinvention today is a complex organisation process.

Key personnel in every modern and competitive organisation make constant improvements to practices and anticipate at the same time where and when market shifts are likely to happen, what impact will that have on the overall operations, and what will our business look if this happens.

They have to predict the future, and there is no better way than to create the Exclusive one that fits perfectly into our goals, strategies, and models. Create your future, perfect in all means according to your measures. No matter how futuristic, innovative and unacceptable it might be today.

Final Thoughts on Innovation

Questions for you as leaders of tomorrow

1. What are you doing today to put you and your business in the front seat once the opportunity arises? What strategies do you anticipate to be clear winners in the future?

2. How do your products and services, facing the reality of being obsolete, stick to your goals & objectives? What are you doing to improve them or reinvent them?

3. At what level is your game today? Are you playing it and dreaming big enough?

4. Are you merely improving your business & operations or thinking and bringing into existence radical changes that will change both, the game you play and the field where you play, forever?

Predict, plan, design and create your future carefully. You will have the bright one if you do or you will not have one at all!
