Transcript of Game time
The “greatest show on earth” is the perfect time to try something differentWith less than 100 days until Games-Time, many London businesses
are set to miss out on the best opportunity in a generation to try new
and innovative ways of doing business.
Why is this important?
Increasing organisational complexity
and external commercial pressures
challenge all businesses. The ones
that excel are those agile enough to
operate more efficiently at lower
operating costs, and exploit new
opportunities when they arise. You
need to try new things and learn
how to operate differently in the
future.
The opportunity
London businesses spend £1000s
every year on creative ‘disruption’
days to simulate a different
operating environment. This
summer represents the greatest ever
‘disruption’ – for free – on your
doorstep. This is the perfect
catalyst to greater employee
engagement through new and
innovative business practices.
The Olympics will be a time of excitement, disruption, chaos and
celebration. Here at Q5 we’ve been working with behaviour change
experts Uscreates to think more about the opportunities, as opposed to
the risks. We are convinced that too many businesses are fearing the
worst and simply ‘continuity planning’ to survive the disruption. This is
a shame: the Olympics will be an exciting chance to test out new ways of
doing things which could have fundamental benefits - for your business
and your people - in the long run.
The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress. - Charles Kettering
Organisational or behaviour change is a challenge to
implement. It can be a long and difficult process. The
Olympics are going to change everything about the way we
work, where we work, how we work and when we work.
Change is going to happen for 3 weeks and your staff know it.
Don’t let the opportunity escape you.
Your people are already enthused and energised about the Olympics –
apathy is usually the biggest challenge to change.
There is a clear rationale to do something different, articulated in the
papers, on the tube and in your offices.
You need agility and imagination to thrive in an increasingly complex and
competitive commercial environment.
