Metrics that Motivate webinar - June 2017RESULTS.com
Metrics (also called Key Performance Indicators) are what you use to measure the performance of every functional area of your organization; the things you do every day to create leads, make sales, provide your products and services, keep your customers happy, grow cash and make profits. We call this stuff “Business As Usual”. Once you determine the Metrics for every functional area, you should be able to distill a smaller subset of Metrics that you deem to be “critical success factors” - the most important drivers of your current operating model.

How to make strategy work in a complex and unpredictable world. In its essence, strategy is simple. It is about answering two fundamental and interrelated questions: where to play and how to win.

Strategist and author of the bestseller Playing to Win, Roger Martin was challeging the typical strategy processes where we try to control the risk and uncertainty through elaborate and detailed planning. In his opinion these processes often seem to end up being long-winded, abstract and complex. Sometimes even without any clear choices being made.

Change Your Mindset: The Key to Growing Your Accounting PracticeAggregage
In the accounting profession, the post-COVID business model is surely on everyone's minds. Unmistakably, the way to forge ahead will look different than in years past. The biggest mistake that a majority of companies are making in regard to growth is holding onto old conventions, paradigms, and practices.
Whether re-integrating back to in-office life or staying digitally connected through remote work, the first step in determining how to spur growth comes with reevaluating your company's willingness to change mindset.
Join David Bergstein, Chief Innovation Officer at Bergstein CPA, as he shares insight on the accounting landscape, new trends, and practical tips for reevaluating your company's positionality.
This session will cover:
• What it means to challenge tradition and change your company mindset
• How to make sure you are set up to be as productive and efficient as possible
• Best practices for choosing the tools you will utilize
• Methods to measure and track your success so you can watch yourself improve!
...and more! Everyone who attends will walk away with the knowledge of what to do to be successful in the "New Normal."
To get the best results from implementing RESULTS.com, we recommend that you start by getting clear on the key numbers that will drive your success.
Research shows that (unfortunately) 92% of companies do a poor job of measuring Key Performance Indicators (KPI's). If that sounds like you, we can definitely help!
What are the key numbers that will drive and predict the success of your current business model? Your teams? Your key people?
Choosing the right KPI's (and making them visible) tells your people what they need to pay attention to. In other words, KPI's drive the right behaviors.
This workshop will help you choose the key numbers that will help you identify problems early, and solve them fast. If you get these numbers right, they will drive better financial results!

Here is the brief overview of this cumulative Session Long Project (mealsdeidre
Here is the brief overview of this cumulative Session Long Project (SLP). In this research project, you would work as a marketing consultant to develop a feasible marketing plan for your client. You would conduct secondary research in SLP1 and SLP2 to glean the necessary information for your marketing plan in SLP3 and SLP4.
It is important to conduct quality market research on your focal product/company in order to develop realistic and workable marketing plans. Generally speaking, there are two types of research. One is secondary research, which refers to data collection using existing sources, and the other is primary research, which is your own data collection for the specific study at hand. The purpose of market research is to collect usable information to make more informed decisions on the business problem, thus increasing the chance of business success in the marketplace.
Please check the
outline of the
marketing plan
, which provides information on:
The final format for this cumulative Session Long Project;
A list of topics for the whole project;
The continuity and connections among SLPs 1-4.
In this module SLP1, identify a company and a charge (or task) for this marketing research project and conduct situation analysis related to your charge. This is the first step of this cumulative research project. You need to review all four SLPs first in order to better understand the requirements for this project.
Product Statement
In this section, describe the company and the product that is going to be the focus of interest for your marketing plan. For example, if your client is Apple, provide background information on the organization (e.g., what it is, what it does, history, success in what it is doing, etc.). If the charge is to market a new product (such as iPad 6), describe what iPad is, how long it has been around, how successful it has been, and who the target audience is. Be specific and detail-oriented, and do not assume that the reader is familiar with the company and product.
Identify a company and a charge for your research project at the very beginning, based on the detailed requirements for this cumulative Session Long Project. The new charge is a hypothetical task, which should be based on one of the company’s existing brands or products. It is also better to identify a new product charge for existing public firms so that you can find enough information for your task. For example, you may pick one of the following companies and charges.
Apple needs to increase its market share for iPhone 8.
Microsoft intends to increase sales of Xbox One S 10TB console.
Fitbit plans a successful release of Charge 3 wristband.
Ford needs to have a successful introduction of the 2018 Fusion.
Amazon wants to increase brand awareness for Echo digital media streamer in Japan.

PESTEL AnalysisPESTEL AnalysisA PESTEL analysis is sometimes.docxkarlhennesey
PESTEL Analysis
PESTEL Analysis
A PESTEL analysis is sometimes called a PEST or PESTLE analysis. It is a tool that scans a company's macro-environment, and enables it to identify, analyze, and monitor the political, economic, social, technology, legal, and environmental factors that may impact its operations (Frue, 2017). PESTEL analyses are used in industry and business to determine organizational situation, direction, and potential; as well as strategic planning (Lin, 2013).
Political Factors
What is the government's involvement in the business environment, and the degree of that involvement? Some examples of political factors are labor laws, taxation policies, tariff and nontariff barriers, and environmental regulations. Political factors may also include the services and goods that a government provides. Changes in the priorities of government spending may have a profound impact on policy, strategy, management, and process issues (Halik, 2012; Lin, 2013; Thomas, 2007).
Economic Factors
Economic factors include the general economic climate, fiscal and monetary policies, economic trends, economic growth, employment levels, government funding, and consumer confidence, and so forth (Halik, 2012; Lin, 2013; Thomas, 2007).
Social Factors
Social factors relate to demographics such as age and population growth, behavior, lifestyle changes, diversity, education, and career attitudes, among others. Trends in social factors may influence the demand for a company's products and services, and may also affect how that company operates and adapts (Halik, 2012; Lin, 2013; Thomas, 2007).
Technological Factors
Technological factors include advances in technology, communications, and information technology, as well as innovation and research and development (R&D). These factors may impact how knowledge is shared and distributed, and the speed at which this knowledge is disseminated. In addition, advances in technology and communication may influence how people communicate and socialize (Chao, Peng, & Nunes, 2007; Halik, 2012; Lin, 2013; Thomas, 2007).
Environmenal Factors
Environmental factors include all those that impact, or are influenced by, the surrounding environment. Environmental factors play a crucial role in certain industries, such as agriculture, tourism, and recreation. These factors include geographical location, weather, climate, global climate change, and environmental offsets (PESTLE Analysis, 2017).
Legal Factors
Legal factors have both external and internal aspects. Certain laws and regulations may impact the business environment in a country, while corporate policies may influence how a company operates. Legal analysis takes into account both of these aspects, and then lays out the strategies accordingly. Examples of laws and regulations include labor laws, safety standards, and consumer laws (PESTLE Analysis, 2017).

The Business Evaluation Scoring Technique (BEST)Peachy Essay

The tool considers the various “windows of opportunity” related to new ventures.

Feedback from peers
“Thanks so much for your response. Very well done!
I like the competitive forces model and the broad factor analysis which are models that other students have not really discussed.
All of these models can add value. The important thing if the company has the resources in an ideal world is perhaps use both models or multiple models.
If you know anything about research if you do different types of research focused on the same topic and come up with the same answers then you know you've done a good job!”
__________________________
“Great post, I enjoyed reading about the competitive forces model and the broad factors analysis. I agree with you that this is a great tool to use to include the internal and external factors. Politics should certainly be understood before entering into a foreign country and setting up camp. Learning about the macro-environmental factors would indeed need to be known to understand the impact of the environmental surroundings of where you would intend to expand globally (Corporate Finance Institute, 2021).
The competitive forces model is also extremely pertinent as you mention. Knowing the competition and the current market is crucial to the success of the organization. I appreciate that you talk about how difficult entry gives you a competitive advantage. I don't know if I understood that before, but you make a very good point in that regard. So with the difficult entry the contract agreement, is longer and there are better benefits offered? “

PEER Discussion post
After reviewing the response of Deborah, I also collaborate with her opinion that there are still more positive ideas that can lead to improvements in the global market planning strategies. The adoption of technology can lead to various promotions in conjunction with the local production at the international business. Different decisions made by the stakeholders are mostly triggered by the level of competition that exists on the organization's premises. Moreover, the present-day global competition entails some aspects which evaluate the market share. On most occasions, several organization strategies, including the multinational rivals, do not differ looking at the approaches, productivity, and experience.
Following the previous meeting with Deborah, I learned various aspects which as a team, we should all bear in mind, and these aspects entail the most suitable approaches concerning the movement in connection with more formal analysis (Harrison, Freitas, Drinnan, Campos, Masci, di Maria & Whitaker, 2019). With the traditional analysis approaches, one can better understand because the visual elements pictorial are always running in one's mind. Although the formal analysis aspect takes much or longer time to express certain information, it provides evaluations and definitions which don't require clerical explanations (Turkmen, den Hartog, Ranise, & Zannone, 2017).

How to coach people for maximum performanceRESULTS.com
In this 45-minute webinar, RESULTS.com President Stephen Lynch shares our proven best practices to help you coach and mentor your team members for maximum performance including:
The right way to set goals.
How to coach your A-Players.
How to confront and deal with poor performers.
You've seen dozens of articles on the latest ways to optimize marketing assets and get your message in front of your targeted audience. But before you can get the most value from any of those tactics, you need to clarify your marketing strategy.
That way, when your marketing succeeds, you'll get the business results you want.
RESULTS.com President Stephen Lynch shares our proven best practices to help you clarify the following strategic decisions:
Strategic Position: The niche within your industry that you “own”. The concept you want your customers to think of when they hear your brand name.
3 Key Benefits: The functional, economic, and emotional benefits that your marketing needs to communicate.
Brand Promise: The blunt, overt, compelling offer you put in front of your target market customers to help them understand what they will experience when they deal with you.
Metrics (also called Key Performance Indicators) are what you use to measure the performance of every functional area of your organization; the things you do every day to create leads, make sales, provide your products and services, keep your customers happy, grow cash and make profits. We call this stuff “Business As Usual”. Once you determine the Metrics for every functional area, you should be able to distill a smaller subset of Metrics that you deem to be “critical success factors” - the most important drivers of your current operating model.
Execution: The Missing 98% of Business RESULTS.com
Simon Mundell, the CEO & Founding Director of Advisory.Works provides current insights into how you can engage your team and grow your business today. How to achieve more by focusing on less, and the secrets to creating an ownership mentality among your people.

RESULTS.com is widely recognized as having one of the best strategic planning templates in the world. In this workshop with our Head of Strategy, Stephen Lynch, you’ll learn a selection of our best practices to create your one-page strategic plan.
Working with thousands of clients, we’ve learned what works and what doesn’t in the real world when it comes to creating and executing business strategy. It’s not about filling in a planning template, it’s about making wise strategic choices that will set your organization up for future success, and cascading your decisions down to every role to align and focus your team using a management software dashboard like RESULTS.com

To get the best results from implementing RESULTS.com, we recommend that you start by getting clear on the key numbers that will drive your success.
Research shows that (unfortunately) 92% of companies do a poor job of measuring Key Performance Indicators (KPI's). If that sounds like you, we can definitely help!
What are the key numbers that will drive and predict the success of your current business model? Your teams? Your key people?
\Choosing the right KPI's (and making them visible) tells your people what they need to pay attention to. In other words, KPI's drive the right behaviors.
This workshop will help you choose the key numbers that will help you identify problems early, and solve them fast. If you get these numbers right, they will drive better financial results!

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

44. "If everything you do needs to work on a 3 year
time horizon, you're competing against a lot of
people.
But if you're willing to invest on a 7 year time
horizon, you're now competing against a
fraction of those people, because very few

We can't realize our potential as people or as
companies unless we plan for the long term."

with one eye focused on

of today’s target customers.”
Philip Kotler

performance improvement.
It is about forgetting the past

Often, this demands bold,
disruptive strategic moves

for future success.”

- Study what is happening “out on the edges” of your industry
- Subscribe to bloggers who conduct industry analysis
- Attend industry conferences
- Learn from other industries - peer networks
- Conduct thorough industry analysis at least every 12 months
- Porter’s 5 Forces + PEST

- Review strategy every quarter - does it still make sense?

2. Strategically analyze your industry
3. Confront your current reality like a VC
4. Create Strategic Projects and Tasks

133. “Our people” is not a strength
What is it about your people that makes your team strong?
E.g. “Highly qualified software engineers”
“Marketing” is not a weakness
What is it about marketing that is weak currently?
E.g. “Cost of Customer acquisition too high”
“Communication” is not a weakness
What is not being communicated?
E.g. “Strategy not well understood”

needs to execute in the coming period?
- Each must address 1 or more issues described in your SWOT analysis (relevant)

vs. building long-term strategic capability for the future ( = creating “what will be”)
Current Strategic Project Due
Date
Person
Accountable
1.
2.
3.
153. Many people can be involved in executing each Strategic Project,
but only 1 person can be named accountable for the overall outcome
The project leader makes sure everything “gets done”
(it does not necessarily mean they do it all themselves)
You may be leader in some projects and a follower in others
Single Point Accountability
154. Set yourself up to succeed. “Stuff happens”. Fires need fighting.
Set realistic outcomes and due dates that take into account
“stuff happens” - yet still achieve your milestones.
Don’t underestimate the difficulties and challenges you will face.
Your colleagues are counting on you.
Only make promises that you know you will be able to keep.
Balance Optimism with Realism
155. 90% of your time is spent on “Business as usual” activities
You still need to create opportunities, make sales,
deliver products and services, and collect money….
i.e. the things you do every day to pay the bills.
Set aside 10% of your time ( ½ day) every week
for strategic execution. Aim to complete 1 specific meaningful Task
“the #1 thing” that will move each Strategic Project forward.
Make time for Strategic Execution: The #1 Thing
156. What does being accountable overall
for the execution of a Strategic Project mean?
– You don’t necessarily do it yourself, but you make sure everything “gets done”
– Colleagues with associated Tasks report to you as “project leader”
– You update the status of the Project at end of every week to show:
– % complete
– Color (on track / needs help / off track)
– There is always at least 1 Task assigned to the project (due within the next 1 to 2
weeks) to show everyone what the next step is and maintain momentum
– You promptly address issues / delays, and keep the team informed
– You source the necessary support to keep things on track
– The Due Date shown in the project is kept accurate so that it stands as a
commitment (promise) that others can count on
