Why?
Key to a successful run for every business owner or CEO is to grow the company - for the good of company personnel, customers, community and owners. This, of course, requires attention to a large number of matters - some more important than others.
One of the most foundational, yet often overlooked, blind spots which CEOs can miss is the essential focus needed on their company's business model.
As companies come and go on the business landscape, the failure to understand, adapt and innovate their business models is often the cause for their failure to survive or grow - often realized too late.
This message is key to business owner transition, succession and exit planning. If you don't understand, adapt and innovate your business model, your business and therefore your transition will fail, just as your time in command will fail.
To put it very simply - If you are not a game changer in today's business climate, you will fail because the game changers will prevail against you.
