Are You Living and Working in the Right World?

Managing the unprecedented combination of accelerating change and escalating complexity is the biggest challenge confronting businesses today, and according to a recent study based on interviews with over 1,500 chief executives, more than half of CEOs doubt their ability to manage it. When nine out of ten organizations fail to execute their strategies, it's no wonder that CEOs are very worried about whether or not they have the wherewithal to manage in an increasingly complex world.

The most successful companies, however, aren't concerned about the twin challenges of increasing change and complexity. That's because they are living and working in the right world - the wiki world - and they know that the key to closing the performance gap in this new world is to create agile collaborative networks, not slow-moving bureaucratic hierarchies.

Wiki is the Hawaiian word for "quick" or "fast." We now live and work in a permanently fast-forward world where the winners are those who understand that managing at the pace of accelerating change is only possible if we change how we manage.

In the wiki world, the primary purpose of a business is not to create shareholder wealth, but rather to delight customers! That's because, without customers, there is no shareholder wealth. In the wiki world, performance gaps are misalignments of either strategy or execution with key customer values. These failures can happen because organizations lack the collaborative discipline needed to implement their strategies or, worse yet, because they have an erroneous strategy that completely misses the mark of what matters most to customers.
