18.01.2022 "Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think" - Martin Luther King, Jr. When developing a business strategy, identifying issues or simply making decisions there are four key stages that need to be utilised to get to the appropriate solution. 1. Identify. (Root Cause Analysis)... 2. Analyse 3. Decide 4.

16.01.2022 How famous people make great business decisions Steve Jobs Continuing our series on great business decision makers lets have a look at Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was an entrepreneur, marketer and inventor. This somewhat unique combination required incredible flexibly of thought and perspective as he moved from founding Apple, through NeXT, Pixar, and back to Apple in 1996. The many breakthroughs in personal computing, consumer electronics (manufacturing and retail) and enter...tainment that he initiated or oversaw have been very well documented and has made him one of the most influential and admired men of his time. In a business leadership sense the way he turned Apple around and reinvigorated it is legend. When he returned to Apple in 1996 he took a holistic perspective to unlocking Apples value and then an operational perspective to the marketing strategy that presented his reinvented Apple to the world. The result was the historic Apple campaign of 1997: Think Different. These famous words challenge all of us to be non linear thinkers, but also defined Apple as an innovative, entrepreneurial organisation that consumers could expect to be at the leading edge of the new world of technology and electronics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFEarBzelBs Heres to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. Theyre not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you cant do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. Steves actions to relaunch Apple demonstrated extreme thinking flexibility. He demonstrated the capacity to develop and sustain an incredibly innovative and creative culture, whilst still having an extreme eye for detail for even the smallest features of Apples products and services. The way Jobs and Apple evolved their products with newer, enhanced versions of for example iPods, iPhones and iPads are very strong examples of linear thinking, whereas the original concept for each of these products was definitely non linear thinking. Jobs is legend for picking up the final prototype of the iPhone and sending it back for redesign because it didnt feel right in his hand. Pretty brave to rely on his intuition and feelings so late in the piece. If you would like to try the free PT Matrix Survey please follow this link: http://theptmatrix.com.au

15.01.2022 Evidence suggests we mostly make decisions unconsciously using experience, intuition and imagination. Imagination is used to test the practicality of the decisions derived from experience and initiation. Often subconsciously, we do not normally do much conscious analysis Gary Klein Part 2 of the 4 part Making Great Business Decisions miniseries. Under the banner of Aspire + Plan + Build, Adrian from Management Partners Alliance explains in depth the elements of the exte...rnal environmental analysis including the P.E.S.T Analysis, market situation and our customers needs. Adrian further elaborates on the internal analysis including the financial elements, strategy, vision, values and capabilities within an organisation.

11.01.2022 How famous people make great business decisions Sir James Dyson If you would like to try the free PT Matrix Survey please follow this link: http://theptmatrix.com.au Continuing our series on great business decision makers lets have a look at Sir James Dyson.... In the late 1970s, James Dyson, frustrated with his vacuum cleaners diminishing performance sought to find a better way to clean, and utilising an idea from an air filter in his factory came up with the concept of using cyclonic separation for a vacuum cleaner that would not lose suction as it picked up dirt. Dyson took five years and according to him 5,127 prototypes before he developed his iconic Dyson Cyclonic vacuum cleaner to a marketable stage. James Dyson demonstrated significant flexibility in his thinking over this journey: Non Linear thinking in his original concept as he did not accept vacuum cleaner bags as a starting point. All he wanted was the best possible vacuum cleaner, rather than just the best possible based on existing vacuum cleaner technology. Linear thinking as he worked through 5,127 prototypes, modifying and improving each one as he went. The capacity to bring all of these together as he built a significant organisation around him to bring prototype number 5,127 to market across the world. Sir James Dyson now employs over 7,000 people worldwide and has extended the vacuum cleaner range to include a ContraRotator washing machine, the Dyson Airblade hand dryer, the Air Mutliplier fan, and a new style hair dryer.

07.01.2022 How famous people make great business decisions Sir Richard Branson If you would like to try the free PT Matrix Survey please follow this link: http://theptmatrix.com.au Last post we talked about what thinking styles facilitate great business decisions and explored the need to bring the right perspective (from Holistic to Issues) and Thinking Style (From Linear to Non Linear) and the four thinking zones when faced with new, complex or absolutely critical situations.... Lets have a look at the first of our great business thinkers - Sir Richard Branson Born in 1950, in Surrey, England, Richard Branson is famous for his entrepreneurial skills which has seen his Virgin Group holding interests in over 300 companies in 34 countries. His motto is Screw it, lets just do it. He is dyslexic and struggled at school before dropping out at age 16. Within a year he had launched his first business venture - the magazine called Student. Some of his most famous quotes give insights into his perspective and thinking styles: Engage your emotions at work. Your instincts and emotions are there to help you. One of the best bits of advice I can give other leaders is to try and find people to take over 99% of what you do, which will then free you up to think about the bigger picture. I love to dream big. I love to try to make those dreams become reality. And sometimes, I throw curveballs into the air, like, lets start a spaceship company, and maybe not being completely serious initially, and then it starts catching on, and you have to try and make it reality. Richard Branson is very strongly a non linear thinker with a holistic perspective, but one who also recognises the benefits of having linear and issues focused people working with him to do the remaining 99%. It is quite likely he has a strong flexibility in his thinking and can adopt a more linear, analytical style, however he recognises where his preferences lie, and as importantly where he can add most value to the organisation he leads.

07.01.2022 How Famous People make Great Business Decisions Part 1 Over more than 20 years in business and learning and development that we have often seen a lack of desire to or an incapacity of managers and leaders to engage in deep, hard thinking, and an overinflated reliance on experience, emotions and intuition in their business decision making. Whilst these all have a legitimate place in the decision process, our observations say that an incapacity of decision makers, and lets ...face it we all make decisions every day, to expand the way they think significantly limits their ability to function and make great decisions in our complex business world. So, what then does a great business decision maker do that is different? To find out we embarked on a review of some famous business people, and how they have gone about making the decisions that have defined their success. Before we jump into this, some background first on the parameters we wanted to use. Perspective Evidence suggest that the perspective that a person brings to bear to a situation will be critical to the way they view and solve problems and opportunities. This axis recognises the range of perspectives required from at the bottom short term and situational to on the top right a more long term and holistic perspective. Whilst not losing sight of the fact you do need to be able to drop into the specific and situational as issues require, this more holistic perspective is critically important to senior leaders who are responsible for strategy, planning and creating the future. Thinking Style Think of this as an axis. On the left is unstructured non linear, often called lateral, thinking which has its strength in innovation and creativity through to more structured and analytical thinking often called linear thinking is on the right. Linear thinking is a process of thought which follows known cycles or a step by step progression where a response to a step must be elicited before another step is taken. The PT Matrix has been developed to help leaders and managers understand how a combination of perspective and thinking styles allows them to consider and deal with a full range of issues, opportunities and problems presented to them regardless of their level of seniority, past experiences and formal learning. Lets have a look at where some great business thinkers appear on The PT Matrix: Next time we will explore this concept further and then each of these people in detail.
