Three crucial questions for your organisations to answer

McKinsey & Company

McKinsey research shows:

  • 82% of employees report that it’s important for their organisation to have a purpose, but only 42% say their company’s purpose statement had much effect.
  • Contributing to society and creating meaningful work are the top two priorities of employees, yet they are the focus of just 21% and 11% of purpose statements, respectively.

The companies that are bridging this gap are the ones reimagining their organisations in the midst of COVID-19 by addressing three core questions:

  • Who are we? Do we have a compelling, standout identity that attracts and inspires employees, investors, clients, and partners?
  • How do we operate? Do we have a nimble, flat operating model in place that fosters teamwork and rapid decision making, and that values and develops talent throughout the organisation?
  • How do we grow? Do we have a robust ecosystem that values internal and external partners, leverages data-rich tech platforms, and is committed to doing whatever it takes to create and maintain a continuous learning atmosphere?

Turn those answers into a Pareto chart, start working the list, and come back the following month to get new insights.
