Here at Bellajack we spend a lot of our time working with our clients to improve their processes, make their businesses more efficient and to streamline things so they can be clear as to just what they need to do in order to Be Successful on Purpose!

In all the years we have been doing this we have learned a couple of things. One of those things is that, if you have to choose between a great culture and a great plan – take the great culture. Another one is that there is no one-way that works for everyone. Every business, every group of people who come together to work in a business, have their own unique “best way” to operate and, while it is our job to advise and provide insights, it is also our job to help our client firms to discover for themselves just what their individual best practice is. We spend a lot of time absorbed in the numbers, interpreting what they mean and where we can make clever changes to the business model in order to drive better performance outcomes.

What can be more difficult though is setting up the business environment which fosters creativity, growth and ongoing enthusiasm for the cause within all of the team. It is that team who we will charge with the job of implementing all the brilliant strategic initiatives that we come up with together. Everyone is excited about all the new strategies when still in the glow of the planning session but just how do we keep that enthusiasm and excitement once we get to the ‘work’ of implementation?

If you can spare 11 minutes and 45 seconds, this TED talk by Tim Leberecht gives a great insight into how to focus on the things that make a company more human – and it is that humanity in business which has the power to create an environment where your business and the people who work in it/for it will create amazing results, where other similar firms that lack these key criteria, can’t get all their plans implemented.

It may surprise you, even if you actually knew it all along!

Be Successful on Purpose!
