Achieving and maintaining some form of continuous growth is an everyday challenge to entities operating in both the private and public sectors.  No matter if you manufacture auto headlights or operate a local pre-school, keeping your current workforce, supporting a solid payroll and having a progressive eye on the future is a situation that all of us need to continually revisit and plan around.

Controlled Diversity is a common sense organizational growth strategy that is appropriate for all to consider.  What is Controlled Diversity?  Controlled Diversity is a limited plan of action for growth and development that YOU control!  Standardly, it requires everyone in your workplace to consider what new products/services are “connectable” to your current assets and employee base for ease of expansion.  Also, embracing a Controlled Diversity mentality pushes everyone to continually look at upgrades/modifications to your established products/services that could easily/economically expand your customer bases.

I don’t believe Controlled Diversity is a totally new growth concept…rather it is the INCLUSION element recommended in this TRIPLE III TIME message that makes it more comprehensive, relevant and timely today.  By following a future plan of growth that purposely includes everyone may give rise to positive results like:

• Activation of internal trends to stay involved in seeking new markets.
• Diversion of attention away from being labeled as a one product/one service company.
• Inspiration for EVERYONE to take responsibility for EVERYONES collective employment and financial future.

Think about applying Controlled Diversity to your organization…is now a good time?
