Podcasts about business improvement

"Whenever I work with companies, I always challenge the leaders and the managers to rethink what they are paying the people for … are you paying them to stare at the screen from nine to five or are you paying them to actually generate outcomes?" In this episode, Adam talks to Oskar Kawecki, the first SAFe Practice Consultant-T (SPCT) in Poland, about the state of business agility adoption in Eastern Europe. The two discuss topics including the strong industries that are accelerating the need for companies to better adapt to changing market conditions, younger workers seeking more flexible and empowering work environments, and how SAFe can help enable those cultural and generational shifts to solve real business problems.

Today, we will discuss the concept of business strategy and its vital role in helping you reach your goals. A well-defined strategy acts as a roadmap, guiding your business toward success. We will also talk about the three common pitfalls encountered when developing strategies. First, we will address the mistake of confusing goals with strategy. Goals are important, but they are not strategies. We will clarify the difference and emphasize the importance of having a clear and actionable strategy. Second, we will examine the issue of generic strategies. Many businesses adopt one-size-fits-all strategies that lack the specificity needed to achieve desired results. We will discuss how to avoid this mistake and create tailored strategies that truly work for your business. Lastly, we will discuss the use of fluffy, grandiose marketing words that sound impressive but ultimately mean nothing and fail to drive your objectives. We will emphasize the importance of clear, meaningful communication in your strategic planning. Join us for an insightful discussion that will help you refine your approach to business strategy and steer your business effectively towards achieving its goals.في حلقة اليوم، نستعرض مفهوم استراتيجية الأعمال ودورها الحيوي في مساعدتك على تحقيق أهدافك. سنستكشف كيف تعمل الاستراتيجية المحددة جيدًا كخارطة طريق، توجه أعمالك نحو النجاح. سنتحدث أيضًا عن ثلاثة أخطاء رئيسية يقع فيها الكثيرون عند تطوير استراتيجياتهم.أولاً، نتناول الخطأ الشائع المتمثل في خلط الأهداف مع الاستراتيجية. في حين أن الأهداف مهمة، إلا أنها ليست استراتيجيات. سنوضح الفرق ونبرز أهمية وجود استراتيجية واضحة وقابلة للتنفيذ.ثانيًا، نناقش قضية الاستراتيجيات العامة. العديد من الشركات تقع في فخ تبني استراتيجيات شاملة تفتقر إلى الخصوصية اللازمة لتحقيق النتائج المرجوة. سنتحدث عن كيفية تجنب هذا الخطأ وإنشاء استراتيجيات مخصصة تعمل بالفعل لصالح أعمالك.وأخيرًا، نتطرق إلى استخدام الكلمات التسويقية الرنانة التي تبدو مثيرة للإعجاب ولكنها في النهاية لا تعني شيئًا ولا تساعد في تحقيق أهدافك. سنتحدث عن أهمية التواصل الواضح والمفيد في تخطيطك الاستراتيجي.انضم إلينا في مناقشة مثيرة ستساعدك على تحسين نهجك في استراتيجية الأعمال وتوجيه أعمالك نحو تحقيق أهدافها بفعالية.

In this podcast episode, I delve into a personal experience at St. Vincent's Hospital, highlighting the valuable lessons we can learn by looking beyond our own industry. During my time at the hospital, I observed various operational practices, communication strategies, and cultural aspects that significantly enhanced efficiency and teamwork. By sharing this story, I aim to illustrate how we can draw inspiration from different sectors and integrate these insights into our own businesses to foster better communication, streamline job roles, and cultivate a positive workplace culture. Through this narrative, I emphasise the importance of cross-industry learning and the benefits it can bring to our professional environments. By adopting successful practices from other fields, we can address challenges more effectively and create more cohesive, efficient teams. This episode encourages listeners to remain open-minded and proactive in seeking out innovative approaches from various industries to drive improvements and achieve greater success in their own organisations.

We're all having to be far more creative when it comes to attracting and retaining the right talent for our businesses now into the future. So, in this episode, we're going to be talking about what it means to build your own talent, not via the traditional grad schemes or apprenticeship programs, but with professionals who are really motivated to learn, looking at those in their early to mid-careers with an average of two to five years' experience. Focusing on how we invest in their development to build talent for the future. Our Hosts Georgina Huntley, the Talent Director and Board Director of ManpowerGroup UK and Georgia Byrne, Strategic Clients Director, Talent Solutions are joined today by our guest Jimmy Williams, Group Project Management Capability Manager, Babcock International.In this episode Builders of Talent, we discuss the challenges Babcock International faced with resource shortages around some of their key locations. Babcock's locations are mostly further afield than your higher concentrated cities i.e., London, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool. The challenge Babcock faced is that it is hard to draw in such specialised talent in those areas. Alongside graduate intakes, apprentice intakes, direct recruitment, and utilisation of contingent and agency staff, Babcock had to try something different and complimentary: Train to Fit.Babcock International Group Train to Fit has recently been nominated as a Finalist in the Developmental Programme of the Year at the Association for Project Management Festival of Education and Research.Some highlights discussed in this podcast:· How do we find the right characteristics over and above the content of their CV.?· Finding the person with the right behaviours· Looking at routes to competence· Look at deploying, learning through creation and curation of new resources· Recognising and developing resource supply solutions that we probably wouldn't have investigated i.e., Train to Fit Jimmy Bio:A product of an apprenticeship, Jimmy sees the value in developing and enabling people while creating an environment that fosters personal and professional growth.

Danielle Young, Director of Innovation and Business Improvement at South Jersey Industries, joins me in a conversation about innovation in a regulated industry. When you hear about natural gas, many will automatically think about fracking. But by the end of this podcast episode, you will learn many more ways in which the natural gas space is being innovated.  Danielle shares her story and how she overcame resistance to change in the industry as long-serving employees perceived that innovation would slow down their work or make them do things differently, in a way they didn't understand at that time. We also discuss the importance of negotiation skills and an open-ended perspective to work with people rather than against them. Finally, we explore the new regulations that are taking place related to climate change. But, most importantly, we discuss the innovative breakthrough ideas of how we're using nature's bounty in ways you never thought possible to bring gas to our homes using renewable and reusable energy in brand new ways.

Lee outlines the 3 factors that can lead to the success of any change team within an organisation. He strongly suggests you apply the PIE ; Performance, Image and Exposure. If resistance is something you face, these three factors can positively affect the efficiency of your team. KEY TAKEAWAYS This is the main body of what you do, done excellently. It is the fundamental of career success and effectiveness, be good at what you do. Do people think of you positively and accept you as a change maker? Do they understand your role and your abilities? How many people know the change team? How many can see the impact the change team is having? Are your senior leaders aware of your value and effectiveness? These three factors can reduce resistance to any change you effect. BEST MOMENTS ‘Performance is 10% of this overall pie. Doing what you say you're going to do and your level of performance.'   ‘What can you do to try to build a stronger image? Do you have a brand? Do you have a logo? Do people understand what it is that you do?' ‘As a leader of a change team it is arguably your role to maximise the level of exposure that the team get with the senior leaders and other departments.'
