Go big on transformation

By Eduardo Cobos

Companies that seek to transform the entire organizational structure succeed at a faster rate more often than those organizations which implement an incremental approach, according to a McKinsey analysis. "Healthy companies put a premium on engagement from day one they instill a norm of transparency and encourage dialogue right from the start," write Kevin Laczkowski, Tao Tan and Matthias Winter.

1. Go big, go broad

Wider point of view increase the chances of creating more efficient opportunities bringing value across various functions within the company

2. Move fast, Renew Often

Exemplified by a large number of successful companies demonstrate the rate of success linked to the transformation and constant renewal of plans and work structures.

3. Embrace organizational health

A healthy work environment is a crucial aspect companies must focus on as it may indeed determine the result displayed by employees as well as allowing a domino effect of constant drive of motivation within the employees themselves.

4. Stretch your aspiration

As a company evolves unwillingly the aspirations will as well as it creates a more highly prepared company and delivery of efficient results due to said change. As stated, “In our experience, targets that are two to three times a company’s initial estimates of its potential are routinely achievable—not the exception.”

I believe the aspect of transformation is good for any type or style of company as it promotes change in the workplace towards a more positive and efficient stand point. Although many people shy away from the fact of transformation or change it is crucial for humans to experience it in order to avoid the body and brain from getting accustomed as it may decrease productivity. Although the incremental approach may in fact have its positive points it is a slow process that rather than helping it may affect the process in the long run. Transparency from the upper positions is always crucial to gain confidence and at times respect from your employees as they see you as a reachable figure to talk to and not unreachable which is at times commonly seen in many bosses.
