Unchain Your Corporation - Diagnostic Tool Kit

Most executives struggle to get adequate resources for their projects and departments, and to get their ideas accepted by the boards and committees.

• No matter how brilliant proposals and ideas are, if executives do not bring objective evidence, everything can sound flat to skeptical boards.
• Most often, it is not because executives throw in wild ideas without an intuitive grasp of what needs to be done. But sometimes, what seems self-evident to them, is unconvincing to others.

On the other hand, boards of directors and executive committees are selected for their ability to see beyond the ordinary, to sift wheat from chaff, and to demand objective evidence of every assertion.

• The boards have good reasons. With the numerous requests they receive, corporate governance requirements make it necessary to demand data, evidence and methodical approach.
• Increasingly, with so much uncertainty, they realize the onerous responsibility placed on their shoulders.

Your board or executive committee will only trust you when you bring objective data laid out methodically to them. Only two kinds of companies do not need to benchmark with their peers. Both kinds decidedly stand out, at the top and bottom.

Of course, you can try making verbal assertions about your beliefs – but would it not be better to back these up with a well formatted, methodically produced report backed by a 5-year research onthe world's top 1,200 companies?
