Increasing organizational efficiency can save both time and money. Doing more with less and doing things right.
Becoming more efficient requires investments in how work is done, including people, planning, quality, processes, equipment, technology, and more. The return on investment (ROI) can be unlocked organizational growth, profits, and sustainability.
But, if you don’t know the path forward, efficiency can accelerate you in the wrong direction.
In uncertain times, it might be to your advantage to ignore some of the sunk costs of your efficiency investments so you can prioritize organizational adaptability.
Increasing organizational adaptability optimizes your ability to quickly churn through ideas to discover the best path forward so you can innovate, quickly test, pivot as needed, and embrace possibility.
