As we hopefully start to leave the recession behind, we have to ask serious questions about whether management teams in the private and public sectors really got to grips with the transformation required to restructure and reshape their organisations. Have they created and implemented the required culture to promote relentless improvement? What we often see is indecision and reluctance to take action.

Management teams that start to commit to bring about change in how they run their organisations will reap the rewards of their investment. However, ROI will remain zero if inaction and failure to lead through difficult times is the norm.

We believe that many private sector organisations have started to reshape their destiny by implementing those difficult decisions, reducing costs and investing in new structures, processes and strategies. The same is not so true in the public and the third sector. At a recent public sector conference on recovery, the overarching debate focused on the cuts that had to be made. Most delegates were planning cuts of between 10 to 20%, with a significant number planning to tackle cuts of greater than 20%. Probably one of the most worrying indications from the conference was that, on a show of hands, between 80-90% were pessimistic about their ability to implement those required changes to their organisation. It begs the question – “Do they have the capability to drive change?”
