Are Acquisitions or Greenfield Investments Best for International Growth

Posted by Daniel Rose - April 17, 2011 - Blog

In recent times there has been a trend towards acqui­si­tions as a mode of entry into for­eign mar­kets. There are many good rea­sons for that, but are acqui­si­tions always bet­ter than green­field invest­ments? Acqui­si­tions as a mode of entry in inter­na­tional busi­ness have a major pur­pose – speed. Mov­ing into a new mar­ket quickly brings […]

Culture Change and the Bad Egg

Posted by Daniel Rose - March 25, 2011 - Blog

Change is every­where. It hap­pens in our work­places, our per­sonal lives and in soci­ety in gen­eral. The one thing that is con­stant might just be that change is con­stant. Per­haps peo­ple need to spend less time wor­ry­ing, and under­stand that change hap­pens. It’s never that sim­ple, though. Peo­ple are nat­u­rally resis­tant to change. and in […]

To Truly Change an Organisation, First Change Yourself

Posted by Daniel Rose - January 17, 2011 - Blog

There’s a lot of “con­ven­tional wis­dom” around how to imple­ment change within organ­i­sa­tions. Pri­mar­ily, it focuses on the cul­ture and val­ues across the firm. But before you can begin to change the cul­ture, you must change your­self. It sounds a lit­tle too full on, like it could be a line from some kind of Barrack […]

The Policy Driven Organisation

Posted by Daniel Rose - January 8, 2011 - Blog

Some organ­i­sa­tions have poli­cies for every­thing, right down to the brand of pen­cil used. Is that overkill, or is it nec­es­sary for an effec­tive organ­i­sa­tion? I think the answer lies in soci­ety. Think about the stereo­typ­i­cal lawyers book­case, filled with hun­dreds of acts of law, and all the amend­ments too. How could any reg­u­lar person […]

What does performance look like?

Posted by Daniel Rose - November 8, 2010 - Blog

Some­body asked me the other day why I thought that they were being per­for­manced man­aged. I asked them what they meant specif­i­cally, and they told me that they now had objec­tives that they had to meet, some­thing that was new to them. It’s a fair ques­tion, I sup­pose. It hap­pens with rea­son­able fre­quency, too. Organ­i­sa­tions use […]

Tales of silos, big and small

Posted by Daniel Rose - November 4, 2010 - Blog

Every­body has prob­a­bly heard of silos. You know, the bulk stor­age for grain and things of that nature. Organ­i­sa­tion­ally, we refer to the lack of com­mu­ni­ca­tion between dif­fer­ent areas as the silo effect. Each area works inde­pen­dently, with­out any mean­ing­ful rela­tion­ship or cor­re­spon­dence with other areas. It’s as if each exists within it’s own physical […]

Why you need to become change driven

Posted by Daniel Rose - October 18, 2010 - Blog

You often hear of the prob­lems peo­ple have with change. Organ­i­sa­tions have trou­ble with change. Peo­ple have trou­ble adapt­ing to change. It seems to be all around. Change isn’t easy. One of the big things often rec­om­mended is to develop pro­grams that help peo­ple through change. Con­sul­tants are often hired for a period to “imple­ment a […]

Should you change culture or process?

Posted by Daniel Rose - October 7, 2010 - Blog

There’s always been a lot of talk about how hard it is to change the cul­ture within an organ­i­sa­tion. It’s true. It’s not the sim­plest thing to do. This is pri­mar­ily because of peo­ple. Peo­ple are the ves­sel that cul­ture grows in. So, why does that make it dif­fi­cult? Peo­ple also hap­pen to rep­re­sent the biggest […]

Publicly Owned to Publicly Traded — Queensland Rail

Posted by Daniel Rose - September 12, 2010 - Blog

Pri­va­ti­za­tion isn’t new. It’s been hap­pen­ing all over the world for many years. From that per­spec­tive, it’s a com­mon type of occur­rence. Even so, think of the total change that occurs to those organ­i­sa­tions. A recent case is that of Queens­land Rail, a gov­ern­ment owned cor­po­ra­tion oper­at­ing rail ser­vices, founded in 1865. That’s not a […]

Culture trumps policy, every time.

Posted by Daniel Rose - August 16, 2010 - Blog

One of the key roles of a man­ager is to con­trol the work that their staff per­form. In a great num­ber of organ­i­sa­tions, this leads to a ten­dency to cre­ate a pol­icy, process or pro­ce­dure for every­thing. Good inten­tions, but an absolutely hor­ri­ble way to con­trol any­thing. As the title of this arti­cle says, corporate […]
