The Power of Three

Dr. Joseph Peck — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 09:55:45 +0000

The number three stands for that which is solid, real, substantial, complete and entire. Think about it, there are three great divisions of time – past, present, and future. There are 3 dimensions necessary to form anything solid – length, breadth, and height. There is a threefold nature of man – body, soul and spirit.

Three is divine perfection. The Bible instructs us that a tri-cord strand is not easily broken. In addition, throughout Scripture three is an incredibly prevalent number. Consider all the threes in Scripture:

Faith, hope, love – Father, Son, Holy Spirit – Thanksgiving, praise, worship
Outer court, inner court, Holy of holies – knowledge, wisdom, understanding
30 fold, 60 fold, 100-fold increase – 3 key attributes of God: all-knowing, all powerful, all-present

In every business there are three types of customers – those that pay you for your products/services, those you pay to work directly for you (employees), and those you pay for outsourced services or products (vendors and suppliers).

There are three primary ways to grow any business – bring in new customers/increase your customer base, increase the frequency of purchase by your existing customers, and increase the size of each purchase.

One of the most sought after speakers right now is Steve Jobs. Audiences love his presentation style. What is his secret — THREE things – 1) he creates a story to share; 2) he delivers an experience; and 3) he inspires the audience to act.

Innovation falls into three primary categories – incremental innovation, breakthroughs, and game-changing innovation.

Incremental Innovation is focused on making small but significant improvements to existing products or services. Think changing plain detergent to detergent with bleach, detergent with pine scent.

Breakthrough innovations introduce an existing technology into a new market, or a new technology into an existing market, or changes the way the offering is delivered. Think about air bladders — used for many things but never running shoes. Enter Nike – revolutionize the running shoe industry!

Game-changers DISRUPT an existing market or create a whole new market. A good example from years ago was the switch from cloth diapers to disposable diapers. More recently think how e-mail, online faxing, and all-in-one printers/copiers/fax machines have pretty much wiped out the market for stand alone fax machines.

How effectively are you using the power of three in your life and your business?

When was the last time your business had a day focused on innovation?

Many businesses have never really had a deliberate and strategic innovation planning. Maybe it is time you do that for your business! Look for the power of three as you innovate!

Re-Position Your Business and Life

Dr. Joseph Peck — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 09:55:29 +0000

There is tremendous value to be found in focusing on the topic of re-positioning. If you are not happy with the direction that your business and/or your life is headed then redesign it by re-positioning three key components – your expectations, your words, and your actions. To achieve a new result, requires you to do something different.

Will Smith has made Hollywood history, and his personal “magic formula” can accelerate your business growth, and income. One of his recent films, Hancock, brought in $107.3 million in box office receipts in the first week. This makes him the first actor to star in eight straight movies that brought in over $100 million.

Simply put, Will Smith is the industry’s most “bankable” man. How does he do it? A recent USA Today article reveals his secret: “I study patterns,” he says. “Nine out of the top 10 biggest movies of all times have special effects; eight out of 10 have creatures in them; seven out of 10 have a love story. So if you want a hit, you might want to throw those in the mix. I just study patterns and try to stand where lightning strikes.”

Re-Positioning

Dewitt Jones – a freelance photographer for National Geographic has a favorite credo “Position yourself in the place of highest potential.” Do you see a striking similarity with Will Smith’s strategy of studying where lightning strikes and simply move to that location in advance?

This sums up the essence of re-positioning. If your business and/or life are not running as you want, not providing the results you desire, not meeting your expectations, and/or falling short of your hopes and dreams – then you need to re-position yourself in some way. Simply doing the same things over and over, expecting a different result is madness – I think Albert Einstein was the one that said as much.

A critical skill in business is the ability to pause, find a vantage point that allows you to see 360 degrees – behind, ahead, and all around your current location/place. By temporarily stopping from working in your business, and taking some time to work on your business, important revelations can come forth. In fact, three keys to creating a new, better result include rest, reflection and revelation. This new, better result fits hand in glove with the concept of re-positioning.

Re-Position Your Expectations

The first of the applications of re-positioning is relative to your expectations. During your time of rest/reflection/revelation – ask yourself – what expectations do you have for your business and your life? Are they aggressive, growth oriented, positive, bold, huge, and even scary BIG?

What you expect – you tend to get. So if your results are not what you want, examine your expectations. Over time, it is easy to let the world wear you down and cause you to lower your expectations, let them turn sour and/or south (neither one is good!).

Change your expectations as a key first strategy to re-position your business and your life! Study the patterns in your industry – look for the lightning. Find the location of highest potential – then get about moving that way.

Become Word Conscious – Re-Position Your Words

The power to change your business and your life rests in your words. Simple statement – but big truth! A lot is being said about thinking. However, it’s your spoken words that get the desired results. Words are physical “containers” of your thoughts.

Do yourself a favor and accept this challenge: for one week be very attentive and conscious to the words flowing from your mouth. Especially notice the automatic responses you tend to use without even thinking. These are strong clues to what’s in your heart and mind! This is where journaling can be a handy tool.

Write down the expressions and words you use throughout the day – what do you say in high stress situations, what about in casual conversations, what about when thinking about your business? By writing it down and then reviewing it weekly you will be able to see a pattern emerging. Once you identify certain expressions, you can then acknowledge what your tendencies are and, therefore, can start to change your habits.

Consider the various business situations you encounter in your daily life. Determine those that are causing you stress or attracting unwanted results. Ask yourself – what words are you using to express that situation. Replace words that dis-empower with words that empower. “Should, must, and have to” become “could, want, and choose to.”

Pay attention to the intensity of the words you use. Are they appropriate to the situation? Notice the metaphors you use, they will reveal how you are choosing to approach your business.

Re-Position Your Actions

The power to change your business and your life rests in your the actions – the ones you take, and the ones you don’t. If you take SMARTER ACTIONS, you generate more POWERFUL RESULTS.

My all time favorite refrigerator magnet says, “If Nothing Changes, then Nothing Changes“. What a great summation about the importance and power of re-positioning your expectations, your words, and your actions. To get a different result in your business and your life requires change – commit to some business and personal re-positioning!

6 Advantages of Teams

Dr. Joseph Peck — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 10:31:36 +0000

Source: 6 Advantages of Teams

A team is a group of people doing something together to produce a specific result or outcome. None of us, no matter how good we are can be great at everything. So what are 6 key advantages of teams?

Advantage 1: Increases productivity
Organizations are continuously looking for efficiency or productivity gains as a source of competitive advantage. Teams, especially those that are close to the point of delivery can identify what needs to change to boost productivity better than any group of senior managers could ever hope to. Let the team focus on productivity and the organisation gains.

Advantage 2: Improves communication skills
For teams to succeed they need to be able to get their messages across, listen effectively to other points of view and build on ideas. As a result of being on the team, people are getting the opportunity to develop and improve their communication skills.

Advantage 3: Diversity of skills
Some people in organisations thrive in dealing with the big picture stuff. Others get their kick from getting immersed in the detail. There will be others who thrive on idea generation and others who love to take something from concept to finished article. This diverse range of people skills and working together have the potential to deliver a much better solution than any one individual could ever hope to do.

Advantage 4: Improved problem solving
Think about a time when you had a problem that you needed to solve. You probably get so far and then end up getting stuck because of your own range of experience or knowledge. When you have access to the wider range of skills and knowledge you ultimately solve problems faster and better.

Advantage 5: Process improvement
Few business processes operate in isolation just within one area of the organisation. They tend to cross functions and even geographical boundaries. A team with insights of different parts of the process will clearly be better placed to make successful process improvements.

Advantage 6: Smarter use of resources
When a team has focus on getting a specific result, chances are they will find creative ways of using the resources at their disposal rather than focusing on the constraints.

Bottom Line – There are numerous advantages of teams. What else would you add to the list of advantages.
