Is it time to consider a re-organization?
Is it time to consider a re-organization?
11 reasons for REORG:
1.) Maybe you have quit growing the business. As a result your business is stale, stuck or stagnant,
2.) Maybe you have a “seller/doer” model and you’re doing more doing than selling, or selling more than doing,
3.) Never have time to even think about working ON the business as I’m always knee deep in the weeds working IN the business,
4.) Next year’s strategy meeting got crowded by day-to-day,
5.) Frankly, I don’t like to admit it, and I’m a bit of a control freak and I struggle to let go; possible re-organization takes me out of my comfort zone,
6.) I try to delegate and Jim reminds me “delegate does not mean abdicate”,
7.) We lack consistent business processes and as a result, my staff is reluctant to come to me directly with issues and they don’t have anyone else to go to; we often times experience “scope creep”,
8.) We have many suggestions on how to improve our brand and marketing, no n house resources and no one we can turn to help with that,
9.) I’m not sure my son (s) (daughter(s)) have what it takes to run this business; it is clear I don’t really have a #2 (if something were to happen to me)
10.) When we were small and nimble, everybody pitched a hand and wore multiple hats. That was fun! We reached our breaking point last year when the owner jumped in on customer calls!
11.) What got us here most certainly won’t get us there.
Maybe it is time to consider a re-organization. These 11 reasons are just the tip of the iceberg. What are your reasons that you’re putting off a re-organization?

Critical thinking visualization tool
Recently, Paul Sand acquainted me with a critical thinking visualization tool called a Radar Diagram. A radar diagram is a visual problem solving tool. Some may have seen it referred to as a spider graph, mind map or star profile. As Paul says, “diagram allows you to plot several elements to visualize, compare and contrast how things are progressing in your life personally or professionally.” A brain dump to paper if you will.
Unpacking this a bit, some time ago, I initially came into contact with Paul Sand and his “Idea Sandbox” through a VISTAGE contact.
Over the years, I have found Paul’s ideas and his Idea Sandbox helpful to me for ideation, creative brainstorming, innovation, and help in identifying (visualizing) a problem. Further, Paul’s content is always “on the business” and accretive in the area of decision-making and problem solving. Idea Sandbox
Idea Sandbox
The Radar Diagram fits my preferred learning style as I am a visual learner.
I have attached an example of a recently completed Radar Diagram JMS Radar Diagram 0918 using myself as an example. The Radar Diagram allows me to easily visualize my near-term strategic objectives at a glance for my VISTAGE Chair practice. (NOTE: the completed Radar Diagram also suggests that I have work to do, which is the purpose!) I have also attached a Blank Radar Diagram PDF template for your convenience. Blank_Radar_Diagram
If you are similarly interested in experimenting with this simple, critical thinking visualization tool, here are your next best actions:
1. Write the variables or things that you wish to measure on each spoke.
2. Set a measurement (KPIs) from the center outward. Use the same scale on every spoke.
3. From observance, you can easily spot “out of balance” or “outliers” using the visual tool. In fact, I plan to keep a copy of this in front of me on my desk as a constant visual reminder. Therefore, the intelligence derived from the visual tool makes the intelligence “actionable.”
4. Let’s talk about this tool in your life next time together.
