The common
view
Maturing markets. Industry consolidation. Technological convergence.
Unproven products. These are the challenges that confront today’s
global companies. More than ever before, global corporations are
faced with the predicament of defining and proving a convergent
value chain, while simultaneously cutting operational costs to meet
quarterly targets…………
You have heard this before
Our view:
While recognizing the above as a mere statement of fact, in our
opinion the leading organizations today are in search of becoming
even stronger competitors using best-of-breed skills from around the world
in their diverse global workforce.
Our view of a typical scenario in a fast growing, global
company, Company Z:
Rebecca, a Company Z marketing manager in London,
calls Jarek the statistical researcher in Warsaw
to analyze the behaviors of customers responding to a new product
launch in California.
She then circles back with Fumiko, who heads the
design team in Tokyo, who modifies the design based on the findings,
and in turn directs Chen at manufacturing Shanghai
to modify production– all using the information systems constantly
being improved by Amit, who heads the software
team in Bangalore.
This teamwork, is creating supremely competitive companies and
happier consumers – faster response, lower costs and higher
quality.
All freeing up money for product innovation and for Company Z CEO,
Jack to invest.
Global Teamwork at its best.
We at Saggezza, have had several successes by embracing this seemingly
radical model of the future, proposed by Adam Smith the
Scottish Economist and Philosopher as early as 1776, when he published
"Wealth of Nations," which examined in detail the consequences
of economic freedom. It covered such concepts as the role
of the division of labor, the function of markets, and the international
implications of a laissez-faire economy. "Wealth of Nations"
established economics as an autonomous subject and launched
the economic doctrine of free enterprise.
So you see, at Saggezza we do not believe in reinventing the wheel.
Just sagacious application of well understood principles with unprecedented
clarity and stunning impact.
