“Wait… aren’t you a technology company?”
Why yes we are! We also do process work.
“So why are you talking about communications and zoom calls and well everything except for the technical work you do!?”
Because NONE of it is successful unless we dig down to the root cause – and the root cause almost always comes down to communication, resiliency and culture!
We don’t want you to be dependent on us. We want to impart the momentum necessary to get you past this hurdle. And nothing we do ever sticks unless we address the fires we’re hired to put out by also working at the people level.
Story time. One of our clients based out of Asia, fairly large, and had been around for 100 years in one form or another. They went through an acquisition spree and tripled in size. They went from one time zone to eight.
While we worked up a plan to address technology platform harmonization we also started asking questions about culture. Needless to say we got some puzzle looks. Here was a tech company asking about culture and other business related matters…
Academic studies and experience show the vast majority of mergers fail due to cultural cohesion issues. Nothing we attempted would work or stick unless we also addressed culture and mindset and communication class part of any work we did or will do!
This is why we’ve been speaking to those topics for the last couple weeks. All the technical and process brilliance in the world won’t help, unless you have the people on board to carry on the work that you do. And you’re able to imbue them with a resilient mindset.
This is what we do at 1Focus. Yes we’re a technology company. Yes we’re a process company. We’re also a people company.
We make sure our solutions stick by addressing people, mindset, culture and communication as part of every technical or process solution that we put in place.
We teach, we show and we do with you at every step of the way.
We’re 1Focus.
Does it HAVE to be a Meeting?
