I can assure you, having seen them in person, that they were not joking. Some time later I learn that this company does not hire production staff, but only uses temporary employment agencies that recruit people on call. A legitimate choice. However, when people are not in “ pole position ” in actual management priorities, but processes, efficiency and technology are, what kind of value does a company create in the community in which it is embedded? Ultimately, what value can a company that doesn't put people at the center create for its customers? It's hard to imagine that a company that doesn't care about the people inside it will also care about its customers (let alone suppliers).
In fact, when a few months later I learned that – with all due respect to the dozens of on-call workers – the company in question had lost an important order that fed an entire production line, won by a Polish competitor, I was not surprised. It was and is the confirmation mailing datapro of my reasoning. For this example and for many others that I can cite, I am convinced that a new culture of change is needed . Where will your company be in 10 years? Following the usual patterns to manage the growth of a company or to develop a new business project has never been a safe choice for anyone and even more so today because those patterns , tools and strategies are inadequate.
to ensure the competitiveness required by the market. In the next ten years, 40% of the Fortune 500 companies present in the S&P 500 index will disappear ( study by Washington University St. Louis ) and to date, over 90% of the companies that have been present in the Fortune 500 list since 1955 have already disappeared ( American Enterprise Institute ). The fact that should make us reflect is not the disappearance of the " big " but rather the fact that throughout the world the global and local trends coincide. More and more businesses of every sector, type, and size are disappearing not so much because of technology, but because of the inability to decipher and interpret the signals of change and the consequent inability to adapt to the new .
