We have all read the “keeps me up at night” data about the rapid shrinking life expectancy of enterprises today, including the disappearance of 50% of Fortune 500 companies that were around just 20 years ago.
Many lost their Juice.
They failed to remember that enterprise life is either a juicy, creative, and discovery journey of continual renewal and transformative growth or it loses its mojo and limps along on old legs of past glories, eventually destined to give up its life force.
“Life is a journey, not a destination.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Enterprise life is not an exception. It too is a journey…a journey of made up of the interweaving of many journeys.
We have found there are three essential, enterprise-renewing journeys…Learning, Innovation and Strategy journeys.
These three tend to set all other journeys in motion (like Customer, Brand Building, or Expansion Journeys).
One of the most essential journeys that too many companies fail to take is the Learning Journey. It’s the inspirational, insight sparking, eye-opening journey that feeds the Innovation and transformative Strategy Journeys that integrate with it.
