A people-ready business is a business that knows people are its most important asset. A people-ready business believes that people, more than processes, systems, machines, location, or outside consultants, are the ultimate drivers of business success. A people-ready business invests in, and creates a culture around, a shared value system—an organizational infrastructure that empowers and enables its people to drive the business forward. It gives people the support, resources, and mandate they need to act intuitively, respond decisively, and invent brilliantly. When individuals realize their potential, your company realizes its potential. That realization is what separates what we call a “people-ready” business from an ordinary one. Is your business people-ready? The best way to find out if your business is people-ready is to put these questions to yourself and the people around you: Do you have the information you need to make an intelligent, informed decision every time you need to make one? Can you work with groups around the world and exchange ideas as though you were all in the same room? Can you interact with customers, solve problems, and create loyalty and satisfaction with instant answers and up-to-the-minute information, all with a few mouse clicks? Are you able to work as efficiently and effectively on the road as you can at the office? The answers could very well depend on the software you use, the technology partners you’ve chosen, and the core infrastructure on which your company runs.
