When does your organization need external help?

     Each organization undergoes different growth cycle, and each growth cycle calls for different management practices, business processes, and employee engagement practices. For example, the systems and processes followed by the organization when it makes 5 cr~10 cr sales turnover may not be suitable when the same organization makes 25 cr or 100 cr turnover. The leadership team and the organization have to change in line with market/customer / external expectation. If the organization does not cope with the expectation, it will perish eventually.

Fortunately, a few organization adopts to the requirements on its own and managing the change thanks to the vision, growth mindset, flexibility of the leaders. However, most of the organization needs external help in bringing the necessary changes in business and management processes and inculcating the winning mindset among the people.

The purpose of seeking external people like consultants or coach is to look at the business in a different perspective, guide and handhold the team to implement the new practices and bring confidence to the organization by showing the business results.
