Ever wonder what successful companies like Apple, Starbucks, Facebook and Amazon have in common?
Technological growth can only sustain a company’s growth and evolution so far in this global market. Even a start up or early stage company must consider Change Transformation in order to reach the break points and/or next levels of growth. The level of consciousness an organization has about change will impact the viability of the company. There are two choices:
- The world will make a company change at a point of crisis.
- The company can make a conscious choice for change that it wants to make happen.
Successful companies define and initiate change before the change happens to them. This includes questioning and testing all assumptions/premises that are fundamental to the business, which helped them get to this point in their evolution.
The panel discussion above focuses on what successful companies have in common, and how they’ve utilized change transformation to continually reinvent themselves. Loris Smith, the moderator, asks the panelists how change transformation may be implemented from a variety of angles, including Technology, Business Development, and Venture Capitalist/Investor perspectives; as well as how ‘leadership’ and ‘management’ can play a role in building the right teams at various stages of development to assure successful outcomes.
