Increaseawareness

We always need to be humble to increase awareness of our surroundings, knowing our set of strengths and weaknesses objectively.

In today's ever-changing business dynamic, the charm of the newly established business landscape is the fresh insight and a holistic view of the business ecosystem. 

The multitude of business awareness helps business leaders and professionals become more authentic, gain contextual understanding of the problem, and take initiatives to build high performance organizations.

Increase resource awareness- how resource allocation is determined should be understood by important parties: Resource limitations are significant and decision makers who are not cognoscente of what they can or cannot do always make poor decisions. Successful capacity planning and resource management are critical to ensure that resources are available before they are needed. An effective resource allocation scenario helps to get all related people involved, set priorities, take advantage of resources effectively, optimize cost, and keep the process transparent in order to build a high-performance organization.

For any company to succeed in the long term, how resource allocation is determined should be understood by all important parties. It is essential for the entire company to be pulling in the right direction by allocating resources, time, and assets scientifically, rebalancing resources if necessary, optimize cost, and strike the right balance of “running, growing and transforming” business steadfastly.

Increase situational awareness and develop fresh insight of how to run an effective and efficient organization: The more complex the situation is, the more different approaches are needed to reach for understanding. Insight is an understanding of cause and effect based on identification of relationships and behaviors within a model, context, or scenario. Forethoughtful organizations can sense emergent opportunities, predict potential risks, and always have a strong understanding of what the business does, how it does it, and how it could be better; organizational dynamics- conflict, politics, etc.

After gaining the full situational awareness, business leaders and professionals are clear about where they are in the situation currently; define the gap between the current situation and the desired outcome. Top management in an organization defines a clear business vision and strategy, builds a set of core capabilities to enforce an planning- implementing-improving cycle.

Increase change curve awareness is ready to be the step one goes through during change even before the change can take place: Increasing change awareness means to understand the purpose underneath, how the change capabilities are underpinned by processes, people, and technology, and how much change capability is really required for the change effort you are kicking off. Change is not for its own sake, but to make improvement. When change management is too mechanical without creativity embedded in it, the staff becomes like nails; managers like the hammer forcing staff into submission of change, change might turn to be for its own sake, lose its business goals.

Increasing change awareness is not about finding fault nor finger pointing, blaming or complaining about what is wrong. It is about how to ride the learning curve to get into actions in creative, positive ways that educate, support and celebrate every emotional step of the change curve. If you fail to gain the curve awareness and climb the learning curve, you will get static and lag behind. Be prepared, be flexible, and be skillful, ride the learning curve and build change as a dynamic business capability.

We all face difficulties sometimes. We always need to be humble to increase awareness of our surroundings, knowing our set of strengths and weaknesses objectively. Individuals increase awareness of their own strength and weakness; organization can bring greater awareness of the intricacies of organizational systems, processes, people dynamics, resource alignment, etc. They can explore their vision by mining the abundance of information and developing the common ground practices to achieve long term prosperity.
