How We Think About Our Business Is How We Do Our Business

• How DO we think about our business?
• What are our goals as an organization?
• What are the core competencies of this organization?
• How does it present itself to its many constituencies?
• How does its leadership present its vision for the future so that it can move towards it and bring it about?
• How does it establish, track, maintain and predict its’ processes so that it can continuously improve and develop in all of it’ major areas of focus?
• How does it plan to build an adaptive organization with a clear identity – without which a vision and the ability to reach it are jeopardized?
• NOTE: How we think influences the ways that we work together- How we work together influences the ways that we think about that work
