BE DiFFERENT on the Threes

Based on feedback from my readers and Seminar attendees, I have decided to write a series of “Three” Articles summarizing the key Practices in my work. These sound-bites will be based not only on my Book but also on my Blog Articles .

Again, my BE DiFFERENT Practices are not merely theoretical constructs. These are things I have successfully executed in my 30+ year career as a leader in a variety of businesses. The Practices I talk about are both Practical and Proven. They are challenging to execute, but they work.

And they work regardless the type of business you have and the size of your business. And they apply to not-for-profits as well. ALL organizations are coveting the solution to be recognized as ReMARKABLE and truly different in the market.

Why “Three” Articles? Well, if you have been following me for awhile you know that I believe in Roy’s Rule of Three; that in order to get things done and achieve real progress, we need to focus on the critical few things that really matter as opposed to the many things there are potentially to do. Getting caught up in The Activity Trap is not where you want to be. It leads to organizational dysfunction (people doing too many things which are often in conflict) and productivity drain (diffused activity causes little progress towards strategic goals is made).

Plus I also believe that the learning process is enhanced when people are exposed to information in bite-sized chunks. Too much information being bombarded at a person at one time is like drinking through a fire-hose and really doesn’t achieve the optimum amount of learning.

I hope you enjoy this distillation of BE DiFFERENT. Maybe it will result in a new book….. hmmmm….

As always I am interested in your comments and views. Please send them along.

Cheers,
Roy
