An Office Move & New Furniture

?

Office moves are rarely the joyous occasions we expect. It typically takes longer than anticipated with delivery delays, more difficult cubicle assembly than desired, with sawdust and dirt piling up everywhere. ?The furniture never matches the showroom look or feel and catalogs fail to ?show? the truth.

My company went through an office move not too long ago. ?Of course, we were excited but the ?move?
reality didn?t quite live up to the imagination and glorious expectation.

Welcome to real life.

Planning, Preparing, Predicting all lead to something. These three actions build to a plateau that either works (good execution) or doesn?t work (poor execution). ?I have moved offices and home often enough to confirm my stance on preparation. ?It doesn?t matter how much you plan or prepare, if you fail to implement, it is?all for naught.

Execution is putting a plan into action by applying power to accomplish the mission and using situational understanding to assess progress and make execution and adjustment decisions.?

Translating decisions into actions.

It all sounds very Sun Tzu, doesn?t it? The Art of War has been applied to business for years and the truth is, Business is War. The war to win clients/customers. The battle to stay at the top of your game. The hostilities that competition brings out and ultimately defines the true warrior. The inner struggle to change the way you do things when the old ways no longer work. The Art of War in action,?indeed.

Three Points defined in the information I learned -?use them how you will and so will I

? Seize and retain the initiative.
? Build and maintain momentum.
? Exploit success.

Each of these three can be specifically applied to your work day and if carried out will lead to further success.
~It isn?t enough?to name a course of action.
~It isn?t enough?to plan that course of action.

Only when you Execute and Carry Out the Plan/Action?will there be a success to exploit and share with others. Dominance in any field comes only through the following steps; whether you provide a service or build a product,?plan and follow through.?

1. Develop a course of action.
2. Refine and validate the course of action
3. Implement.

Pretty simple. ?Difficulties arrive when we ignore the simplicity?
