In this fast-paced world economy, it is time for every organization to focus their attention to key forces outside of their own business, which can present huge challenges, as well as huge opportunities:

1. The changing needs of the new Millennial. Products and services can easily flow into or out of emerging nations, changing cost factors as well as demand. Businesses need to focus on agility and their ability to innovate.
2. Disruptive Technological innovations creating market instability markets is now commonplace.
3. Stakeholder's power shift to Customer and employee. Power is shifting from shareholders and owners to customers and employees. New business models require an evolved outlook to employees and team motivation to inculcate work-related ownership. An aggressive focus on customer relationships and multi touchpoints of customer communication – interaction and continuous feedback.
4. No business is an island. Today’s hyper-connected people through social media can create ripple effects across the social network. These ripples can create opportunities or cause catastrophes for any business.
5. Changing face of globalization – “Reverse innovation” Customers in developing countries are adopting new technologies faster than the advanced economies due to the compelling need to grow within the opportunities created in the growing economies. Examples include smart card adoption, where there were no credit cards, and cell phone coverage emerging before landlines.

“Smart business leaders are accepting these challenges as the new paradigm. Organizations are looking at their business as part of the global stage.”

Organizations need to address these issues on a timely basis building and developing teams that are flexible, innovative, and resilient. It is difficult to bring the required culture into a company – its management – its culture is not open to change and does not lay emphasis on listening to the customer and responding quickly.

Is your organization ready to face this reality and prepared enough to play on that stage?
