Global Workplace Success Blog with Pat Tith

In downtown Washington, DC, USA the atmosphere is unusual. Many buildings are gutted or in the process of being gutted. Turns out it is cheaper to do this than to renovate.

These buildings are on the average 50 years old.They are no longer useful, appealing, and functional into today’s global and technology driven world. The net result is a more attractive building that has all the bells and whistles needed to be efficient and competitive.

What about your workplace? Are you operating in outdated ways? Are you avoiding the inevitable by just tweaking this and that….and yet still feeling that all it is producing is inadequate results. If this is the case, you need to face up to your situation. You are being slowed down! High potentials don’t want to work in an outdated environment. Your company image does not look “with it”.

Today’s global workplace is not the “same old same old”. It is dynamic and up-to-date competing and performing with the best of its competitors worldwide.Think about it ….Maybe your workplace doesn’t need to be gutted like those Wash, DC buildings. But, chances are it needs, at a minimum, an upgrade just like your computer software.

What does this require you do? I welcome your ideas. More from me on the subject in upcoming posts
