Are you market driven?

So many companies start with a great idea. The founder has a passion for something and believes that everyone else will feel the same way about it. It is much wiser to know if there is in fact a market for this great idea. Is your company market driven? Have you done some market research? Doing so will let you know if your idea has potential. As well, it will give you a great deal of information from which you can begin your marketing effort and determine your price point.


Are you flexible?

So, you’ve done your market research and found that there is a market. However, along the way you find that it’s tough sledding but there is a slightly different opportunity that you can easily deliver to. Are you flexible enough to steer in that direction? Does it mean abandoning your original plans or is it additive to them?


Do you have a product development strategy?

Do you have a product or service development strategy and roadmap? Do you suffer from feature creep? Do you understand the value of “good” project management? Are you driving efficiencies?


Are you maintaining focus?

It's so easy to wander and lose focus, to get distracted, to start things and not finish them. Is this happening to your company?


Are you working SMART?

Everyone talks about the value of hard work, but, are you working smart? In every area of your organization are you planning things out and leveraging your competencies to their fullest? Are you empowering your people to do likewise? Do your internal mechanisms enable and encourage communication?
