There Is Innovation With Respect To Technology, But Where Is The Innovation With Respect To Employee Engagement And Enablement?
You read that right. Nearly every post or update on Linkedin has to do with new technology. And while that’s important, it’s not the most critical asset to an organization's success. The single asset that can make or break an organization is its PEOPLE.
That’s why we created this blog – to talk about innovation with respect to people. To share stories of how we engage and enable our resources so they can do their best work and make a real impact on the world.
We want to change the way you think about people and organizations. To show you that when we have employees who are passionate and enthusiastic – anything is possible. So click around our blog and learn more about how we can help you create a workplace where people feel valued and appreciated.

Nearly every post or update on Linkedin has to do with new technology. Whether it's the Cloud, Analytics, Big Data, Virtualization, new Software, new Hardware, or new Services. The focus is always on something new and something shiny.
Yet, the most critical asset to an organization's success, the single asset that can make or break an organization, its PEOPLE, is never talked about. While there is Innovation with respect to technology, there is hardly any innovation with respect to better engaging and enabling our resources.
When we have employees making the following comments:
- I don’t give a sh*t!
- No matter what we do, nothing will change!
- If we do good – it’s the same, if we do bad – it’s the same - and if we do nothing – it’s the same. So why do anything!
- Lacking enthusiasm to fix problems.
- Motivation is decreasing each day.
- Management is not caring about the employee to make them stay
- Don’t want to leave, but not happy here
- Etc...
We can understand why organizational uptime and availability suffers and ultimately there is negative impact to Revenues, Profits, and Customer Satisfaction.
Leaders will realize that by investing in new and innovative ways of better engaging and enabling their employees, they will not only maximize uptime and availability, but also realize the growth of organic innovation. Ultimately, our people know what the issues are and how to compete in the marketplace. Why not energize our people to show us the way?
