Monday STAND TO!
By Richard Martin, Expert in Business Readiness and Exploiting Change
Military readiness is the the capacity to exploit change in order to achieve strategic, operational, and tactical objectives.
By extension, business readiness is the capacity to exploit change for strategic, operational, and tactical business objectives.
The business readiness procedure is the the concrete instantiation of this standpoint as it provides the framework, tools, and mindset to exploit change for the achievement of business goals of all types and at all levels. The following list gives each step of the BRP, and I will provide additional insight and examples into each in subsequent issues of STAND TO!
Business Readiness Procedure (BRP)
- Maintain situational awareness.
- (Re)analyze your mission.
- Do a time appreciation.
- Activate/mobilize your organization or team.
- Conduct reconnaissance.
- Do your estimate of the situation.
- Compare friendly and opposing scenarios and decide on the optimal solution.
- Perform risk analysis and contingency planning of your selected solution.
- Communicate your plan and issue clear direction.
- Supervise preparations and the build up for implementation.
- Lead and control the execution of the plan.
- Assess, adjust, and adapt.
Did you know that an infantry battalion only needs about 3 to 4 hours of prep and planning time to be battle ready? What are you waiting for to get the same benefits for your outfit?
Feel free to contact me at any time to discuss your objectives and needs.
And remember… STAND TO!!!
