How to ensure your business is healthy, and why it really matters.
Running a healthy, sustainable organisation is often compared to one’s own health and fitness goals; “no pain, no gain” is probably going to be part of the equation. But is it really necessary? In a tough business operating environment, is there a more efficient way to achieve the “gain” without the “pain”?
At Kaleidoscope, we believe there is. Hold that thought for a moment.
Getting healthy and why it matters
According to McKinsey & Company, business health is defined as an organisation’s ability to “align around a common vision, effectively execute that vision and renew itself through innovation and creative thinking.”
Business health refers to how a business is run, irrespective of who is running it, or the headwinds in the marketplace. In fact, a healthy business is considered the single most important predictor of whether a business is likely to survive and thrive in the long term.
Doing what you do, differently
Resistance is a thing. Many businesses will tell you that focussing on their organisational health efforts sounds like a wonderful idea if only there were more hours in the day. Or more resources were available to dedicate to the process. Or it’s on the list but there are other more pressing priorities. You get the pain point picture.
The reality is, in most cases, running a healthy business means doing what you’re already doing, just doing it differently. It also means overcoming the pain points, tensions, inefficiencies or missed opportunities that are holding you back.
“Working on your business’s health is good for your people and your bottom line. Those who work on their health achieve measurable improvements in their organisational well-being and demonstrate tangible performance gains in as little as 6 to 12 months.”
What we do know is good organisational health drives performance. The better the performance outcome, the healthier the bottom line.
“The most unfit organisations stand to make the biggest health advances. Above all, it’s about adopting a more innovative and effective style of leading, executing, and innovating. Working on health works, and it works quickly.”
