Three Key Words to Corporate Success in 2011

Giving, Innovation, and Environment.

I believe these three words create success or failure in 2011 and beyond. Corporations that have always looked at how do we make or save money must start to develop teams and employees that will challenge and not fear standards and the status-quo. Push us to think differently. Realize that every one of us has the ability to create new and innovative products and services that will have a greater impact on bettering our lives and the environment we all interact in. Do we think shareholders will not ask for financial targets to be achieved because we are in a recession? NOT! That would not be acceptable.
Giving is the most important of these words. This will require a change in the entire outdated education system that was created back in WWII. Back then government wanted to train people to work in factories and follow the rules not engage in thought leadership. We must promote helping others succeed and achieve. When one child fails we all fail. This is not an individual challenge. This is our planets challenge. We must work together to give people what they need to be self sufficient and succeed. This mentality that employees need to be supervised and given detail books and manuals on what do to do and how is over. The books are outdated and so is this mentality. The training and curriculum must change that we can create the future innovations, products and services right here in Canada. We must promote thought leaders to find new ways that are more efficient and provide customers with easier to use products and services that can cure cancer fight obesity and start saving the environment. When animals become extinct we are next. We are losing animal species everyday. It’s a challenge for every human on this planet that we need to overcome.
Many corporations have started doing great work for charities and this should not stop. I see the future providing more opportunities for employees to give to the charity of their choice and run more user generated contests (UGC) that promote environment, innovation, and giving! Amazing award winning companies have solution out of the box like Filemobile UGC solutions. This is the next step on the journey. Engagement with our communities we have built and nurtured for the good of all humanity. We can all make a difference.

It’s our choice.

Let’s make the right choice.

Make it a great day!
