Why Institutional Excellence?
The leaders of great companies are not just
great at growing profits. Most importantly, they are
organizational
architects determined to establish institutional
excellence for as long as the company is in business. Institutional
excellence is a sustainable
competitive advantage that enables your business to survive against your
competition over a long period of time. "When institutional
excellence is in place, companies can achieve industry leadership for
decades and generations."1
Be the Best Possible
10 Tips by Ten3 NZ Ltd.

Good enough seldom is. Organisations that are continually productive and profitable incessantly strive for quality and excellence. Acknowledging that your customers are not prepared to accept an attitude of "that's good enough," how does your organisation's quality standards rate as against its competitors? How do your own personal levels of excellence and quality rate against your current and potential competitors in the employment market? If you don't know the answer/s to these questions, then resolve to find them out immediately. The longer you delay, the larger the gap may be growing between you and your competition!... More
Achieving the Right Balance Between the Whole and the Parts
One of the major issues in all organizations is getting the
right balance between the whole and the parts - the need of the organization
as a whole, the needs of its internal groups, and individual needs of its
members. This in turn is a reflection of deeper tensions
between the values of order and freedom. They appear to be opposites, but
the true function of order is to create freedom.6
The extent to which organization operates as a network of relationships enables individuals to make sense of their work and their world, and will strongly influence the coherence of the organization and its sense of purpose. Such purpose can only be grounded in the coherence and meaningfulness of people's work to themselves, their colleagues and their customers.
Corporate Culture
In six words, corporate culture is "How we do things around here."
Corporate culture is the collective behavior of people using common corporate vision, goals, shared values, beliefs, habits, working language, systems, and symbols. It is interwoven with processes, technologies, learning and significant events. In addition, different individuals bring to the workplace their own uniqueness, knowledge, and ethnic culture. So corporate culture encompasses moral, social, and behavioral norms of your organization based on the values, beliefs, attitudes, and priorities of its members... More

Building an Innovation-friendly Organization
Leaders of successful, high-growth companies understand that innovation is what drives growth, and innovation is achieved by awesome people with a shared relentless growth attitude and shared passion for creative problem solving and for turning ideas into realities.
Companies that continuously innovate will create and

business models
– which leads

The New-Generation Adaptive Organization
Adaptive organization is a new third-stage organization based upon radically new logics of content, configuration, and change based on human capabilities rather than limitations. The three new logics for adaptive organizations include:
-
New logic of content: requires that concepts of strategy, structure, and systems are broadened to include a greater emphasis on human values, goals, capabilities, and efficacy.
-
New logic of configuration: specifies a new relationship among strategy, structure, and systems that gives priority to supporting workforce engagement and capability.
-
New logic of change: asserts that people seek meaning in
work through accomplishment and contribution to
shared organization goals, and specifies a top-down-bottom-up sequence
of development activities... More
7-S Model
The 7-S model is a framework for analyzing organizations and their effectiveness. It looks at the seven key elements that make the organizations successful, or not: strategy; structure; systems; style; skills; staff; and shared values. To be effective, your organization must have a high degree of fit, or internal alignment among all the seven Ss. All Ss are interrelated, so a change in one has a ripple effect on all the others. Thus, to improve your organization, you have to pay attention to all of the seven elements at the same time... More
The Growing Role of the Business Architect
In today's knowledge- and innovation-driven complex economy, business architects are in growing demand. To build a winning synergistically integrated organization, companies need cross-functionally excellent people who can tie several silos of business development expertise together, create synergies, design winning business model and a balanced business system and then lead people who will put their plans into action... More
Managerial Leadership
Leadership is the necessary condition for long-term competitiveness. In particular in the knowledge economy, what is proving to be most effective is "the emerging style of values-based leadership, both as motivation for constant innovation up and down all organization levels and as a source of unity and coherence across fragmented firm boundaries".4 Harnessing your abilities to lead through the power of intellect, will, persistence, and vision creates synergies that propel successful companies in the quest for, and achievement of, competitive advantage.

Establishing an Attitude of Relentless Growth
Establishing an attitude of relentless growth is what enables an organization and its people to achieve their goals. The spirit of relentless growth keeps fresh ideas flowing and reinvigorates your company.
The Relentless Growth Attitude establishes a context within which corporate executives lead by setting direction, creating strategy, securing resources, defining organization architecture, and ensuring that learning occurs. The Growth Attitude should start at the top and work its way down your organization.
