New business paradigms

Change. Complexity. Confusion. Convergence.
Business (and) life are evolving faster then ever.
Yet, even today in this age of chaotic fluidity, everything is also more connected, and no single facet of an organisation stands alone or will by itself guarantee profitability and growth:
Employee satisfaction and client loyalty are closely linked.
Business strategy and quality operational processes depend on each other.
The company is a living organism where each element has a direct impact on all the other systems.
At the heart of success today lies the multi-faceted idea of resilient entrepreneurship, a sense that we are not victims, but actors in a fast paced environment.
Phrases like “we have always done it this way” have totally lost their power of reference. Where they occur, they are a sure sign that it is high time to revolutionise something.
Busionomist proposes to help you to find out what.
and to provide information and resources and links to relevant resources for busy managers.
Busionomist looks at the different facets of business: • Vision and strategy • Customer relationships • Operational excellence • People performance • Entrepreneurship and initiative
Busionomist is set up as a blog reflecting over 20 years of professional experience, curiosity and research (as well as the odd hickup) of Jean Marc Rommes (that would be me).Hence, Busionomist is tightly integrated with the work I do.
Over time, that is the plan, this site will provide references, resources, information and, of course, an estimated 2.5 million links in each of the five areas above, providing executives, managers and entrepreneurs with thought starters and practical tools for making the next big or small decision.
And where the site might make you wish talk about some of topics I’ll be more than happy to step in and talk (no charge) or help (possibly for a fully justifiable fee).

Change. Complexity. Convergence.

The second decade of the 21st century is like no other in history. For over twenty years, we have experienced a fast change, and that pace is now gaining exponential momentum.

Organisations, managers, leaders, employees in all positions are going through major transitions, with no end in sight. Workloads and stress levels across industries show us that more hours will not bring the expected relief.

The company is a living ecosystem where each element has a direct impact on all the other systems. Strategy and execution are the two essential pillars that need employees to deliver. The customer becomes an integral part of the design of the organisation.

Everyone is an entrepreneur

At the heart of success today lies the multi-faceted idea of resilient entrepreneurship, a sense that we are not victims, but actors in a fast paced environment. Where phrases like “we have always done it this way” occur, in our minds or in our company, it is time to review or revolutionise.

The challenge is to replicate the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship at all levels of the organisation.

Core beliefs in a nutshell

Here are some principles for intervention:

  • The pace of change of 21st century is like no other time in history
  • All kinds of stakeholders demand a larger say in the running of  companies, and their demise
  • Customers’ expectations can no longer be met with just improved products
  • Management language of the past 25 years not apt to deal with the challenges of the coming decade
  • Employees want to give their best when given half a chance, but are often held back by management
  • Command and control environments are inadequate to manage the emerging generation in the workforce
  • Organisations need to be resolutely solutions focused and future oriented in a complex work environment
  • Language plays a crucial role in the success and failure of organisations.
