The status quo is broken. The political, economic, social, and market certainties that have underpinned commercial success for the last 70 years are dramatically changing. The balance of power is shifting as accepted wisdoms are being disrupted by an entirely new reality. Success is no longer assured by cutting costs, pursuing even greater efficiencies, and delivering short-term financial performance. Instead, businesses need to find new ways to stay constantly relevant in unpredictable and fast-moving markets, to compete in different economic systems, and to effectively engage all of their stakeholders in completely different ways. The transformation timebomb is ticking.In Transformation Timebomb, author and strategist Gavin Russell explores the major forces of change facing organisations, highlighting the speed and scale of disruption while uncovering the new questions that businesses must answer, before it’s too late. He offers a range of recommendations to help leaders navigate their own path, providing a flexible framework that combines guiding principles with a roadmap of over 150 practical and proven adaptations that deliver competitive advantage. He concludes with a blueprint for long-term, sustainable success to help leaders navigate the challenges for years to come. With this book, leaders will be able to: - Create relevant, sustainable businesses that can dynamically adapt to their rapidly evolving environment.- Significantly improve performance and commitment through authentic meaning and purpose.- Create agile teams that autonomously make great decisions under pressure, liberating leaders to focus on sustainable value creation.- Build deeper, stronger customer relationships that drive loyalty, advocacy, and profitability.- Attract, engage, and empower distributed workforces to deliver greater value ahead of demand.With the knowledge that change can be positive, powerful, and profitable, leaders give themselves the chance to build businesses capable of thriving for years to come.
