10 simple ideas to raise your game !!

               It always amazes me how many organisations manage to thrive while ignoring the fundamental basics of both                    business and human nature. Digital-based companies tend to be the worst, as our perception of the start-up feel                masks the truth of chaos.

Day 1 of my second week in an organisation is usually when I hit them with my first presentation. It’s 10 really basic ideas, each associated with a picture, on how even the most basic day to day decisions can be improved.

The major difference between what I do, and a large number of articles I see on the web, is that these are not hard and fast “rules”; but view simply ideas to kick-start conversations.

None of these ideas come with a “dumbed down” explanation or blue-print of how to apply changes to your organisation; because not one of these should appear to be anything but common sense:

Asteroids
  • If you don’t plan for issues 
    you’ll end up spinning around forever

Fourth Rail Bridge
  • Build a bridge and get over it

Death Star
  • Just because you can build it, 
    doesn’t mean you should

Ghostbuster's Marshmallow Man
  • Sometimes it’s knowing who to call
