The Opportunity Life Cycle

Competitive skills are a matter of organizational survival. The average major corporation lasts only forty years. The average medium-sized company lasts only fifteen years. Eighty percent of new small businesses fail within two years. Almost all of these failures result not from a lack of management but from an organization losing touch with its competitive environment.

Five changes are driving the increasing need in these organizations for the classical front-line strategic skills that we teach. We are looking for trainers who understand these needs.

1. As technology accelerates, the world seems increasingly chaotic and unpredictable. While frightening for most, this change offers a tremendous opportunity for those who know how to navigate and profit from it.

2. Globalization is creating an increasingly competitive world. Organizations can no longer shelter their employees from competition. Instead, their employees must learn to help the organization adapt more quickly to external competitive challenges.

3. Most training programs offer ideas that most people have heard before. Though Sun Tzu’s Art of War system is far older, few know its secrets. Most importantly, just hearing these secrets gives people a jolt of excitement that they haven’t felt in years.

4. The  Internet and mobile communication enable a new form of continued interactive learning that wasn’t possible just a few years ago, but few are taking advantage of this new medium.

5. In an era when fewer people can take a whole day—much less days—away from their job to master information, our evening courses and on-line training provide a powerful, powerful way to enrich their abilities.

If you don’t think that these five changes are important and that you can use them to make yourself successful, you don’t have to read any further.
