Is One Of These Obstacles Affecting Your Bonus This Year?
Are you facing one of the following – or similar – situations in your organization?
• “We don’t have a clear strategy yet that will really make a difference.”
• “The working atmosphere in our organization is not exactly vital and sparkling”
• “My Sales department is not as pro-active and in the lead as I would like them to be.”
• “We do a lot of non-Marketing activities that take away our focus and time.”
• “I need to find €2.3 million in new business, but where?”
• “Our Management Team is actually a group of department heads rather than one team.”
• “We are facing a high turnover and have to deal with vacancies, negativity and lost knowledge.”
• “The Operating Model is not yet fully integrated in our way of working.”
• “We lose a lot of time with unproductive, boring meetings and internal reporting.”
• “We constantly have to change priorities, which leads to confusion and inefficiency.”
• “Our market share is under pressure and we have limited resources to address all the issues.”
Hard Management + Soft Leadership = Results

© Actimpact – The Equation for Strategic Results
Successful companies excel in two areas. One is the Strategic Planning area where the financial objectives and strategies are defined. This is the “hard” management part of your organization. The other area is the Organizational Vitality, or how well your company is doing on the different “soft” leadership elements.
The quality of both areas defines the quality of the Operating Playing Field: the day-to-day operation, the culture, the flexibility, efficiency, attitude, level of turnover and the satisfaction people have working in your company. Your Strategic Results are a direct reflection of this quality.

– General Manager Heineken
With our market share under pressure, we were facing a lot of challenges and workload. The biggest question was how to manage this with the limited resources we had available. Joost supported us to win a lot of battles, to create many Best Practices for the rest of the world and to become realistic in what we can and cannot accomplish. It really gave us the focus we needed.
