Organismics

ARE YOU INSANE?

“Thought, not money, is the real business capital, and if you know absolutely that what you are doing is right, then you are bound to accomplish it in due season.”
Harvey Firestone, founder of the world’s largest tyre company


Here’s a curious Catch-22: corporations have created a great deal of social and environmental harm in their attempts to maximise profits and shareholder value. The result is that society, the economy and the environment have reached tipping points – climate change, peak oil and the economic meltdown are symptoms of this. So what are most corporate leaders doing? More of the same. It’s like the comic-book behaviour of stupid British tourists who simply shout English to those who don’t understand the spoken version.

The irony is that increased profits and shareholder value are readily available to those who choose to stop being part of the problem and start being part of the solution.
The results, for those organisations who have taken the Organismic approach, have been:
  • Increased profits
  • Increased shareholder value
  • Consistent market share gains and holds
  • Stronger balance sheets and significantly higher credit ratings
  • More robust free cashflow
  • Longer corporate life expectancies

As Einstein said: “We can’t solve problems while remaining at the same level of thinking in which we created them.”

Einstein also gave one definition of insanity as: “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”

Do any of these matters strike a chord for you?  If so, we may be able to help.

“The successful man (sic) is the one who finds out what is the matter with his business before his competitors do.”
Roy L. Smith

 



This fern fractal illustrates a supreme example of Organismic structure.
Your organisation may have such a structure hidden in its DNA.
If so it could achieve outstanding environmental, social and economic breakthrough performances.


Here's online social networking genius Howard Rheingold explaining why Organismics (by any other name) is the secret of the corporations who are racing ahead in these turbulent times.
