‘Four Cs’: Culture, Change, Creative Value and Collaboration

Covid caught us all unawares, but it prompted organizations to undergo extensive changes. Companies have to make well-planned and wide-ranging changes that will make them future-ready for new technologies to deal with other such disasters.

In such times, having an entrepreneurial mindset is very important to run a successful business. When we take a look at the global business scenario, we see powerful forces coming together to create profound implications for a sustainable corporate strategy involving market dynamics, faster innovation cycles and disruptive technologies.

1. Culture

An organization’s culture adds significant impact to its ability to attain its vision, implement an effective strategy and drive its business goals. So, leaders should create a culture where each employee is eager to perform. A key aspect would be to have strong organizational values, practice them and take action on violations whatever the role or position.

2. Change

A major part of the transformation process of an organization is redefining decision-making ridding its database of duplicated data and leveraging predictive models to make more pragmatic choices. Simultaneously, companies should focus on removing all glitches and improving internal efficiencies.  This, however, cannot be achieved at the cost of building resilience to ensure stability in daily functioning. The organization’s leaders should put in place contingency plans, including short-term disruptions. Unlocking people potential is another aspect where leaders must revamp talent strategies with focus on training and up skilling to effectively combine the best workforce with technology solutions.

3. Creating value

Producing value-driven results is a complicated process. To make the changes work better, businesses have to work with the right partners. They must also be aware of the changing nature of the environment in which they work. The critical components of infrastructure and capabilities require analyzing the best value propositions for scaling up acquisitions and alliances.

4. Collaboration

Developers who participate in an open-source environment usually collaborate at higher levels than those used in proprietary software creation. For instance, in the coding phase, a developer may read and de-bug a code developed by another developer without any bitterness. Such collaborations are highly effective and even lead developers to be more committed to a project, while, at the same time, making the work easier for them.

Conclusion: – With so many changes happening simultaneously, organizations nowadays are adopting changes in the ways they operate, think and act. They realize the advantages of deliberate action and are taking measured steps to change strategy to benefit both their stakeholders and themselves shared value achieves long-term success. Organizations that include this 4 Cs in their plans experience steady growth and greater connections and build confidence across the value chain employees, shareholders and decision-makers, among others.
