The Whole is Better than the Sum of Its Parts | How will you become a great company?
A special thank you to our sponsor, TD Bank Group.
If you’re curious to know more about where you’re at and the type of company you’re currently building vs what you might want, we can walk you through a few quick steps to help you find more clarity and some actions you can take.
Ask Yourself
- Do you want to build a great company, not just scale a great product?
- Do you want to pursue extraordinary results or settle for “doing ok”?
- Do you want to accelerate and have people thrive, or are you ok with mirroring the corporate world knowing you’re inevitably adding bureaucracy that will slow you down?
Imagine being admired by your peers: “Wow, they really built a great company, how did they scale the company and the people?” Yes, it is possible. But you have to grow your capability in managing polarities and finding ANDs, instead of just trading off between ORs.
This is what we do.
We enable founders to create better value faster by enabling distributed decision-making so teams can innovate and cut bureaucracy, and by lifting leadership to actually lead, not just run around solving problems.
Vibrancy helps companies realize the full potential of people by grounding the company in purpose and belonging so the business can be guided by a strong north star, and people can bring their best to work.
We call what we do – amplifying people and amplifying value – to enable companies to accelerate and scale.
All of this enables the company to operate more like an integrated fast adaptive networked organism, than a machine that bottlenecks and breaks down. This happens by working on these primary areas one small step at a time. Tactical, strategic, systemic.
