Peter Drucker advice

You can't do carpentry, you know, if you only have a saw, or only a hammer, or you never heard of a pair of pliers. It's when you put all those tools into one kit that you invent.

E-Coach! Don’t ask me what’s here because the answer is, Everything. And lots of fascinating original stuff too. I was particularly attracted to models called “The Jazz of Innovation” and “The Tao of Business Success”. In fact, there’s so much that it’s the sort of site you reserve for a rainy Sunday afternoon when there’s not much else to do. It’s sure to brighten up your day. Brilliant!

This is an incredible business learning and coaching site. I found it by looking for information about successful business entrepreneurs who profited from their focus on building strategic relationships. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge and your resources before asking for anything in return. It's nice to run into a company who shares my same belief about helping others because it makes our world a better place.

Why Do You Need Cross-Functional Excellence?

"My poor dad said, 'You need to know a lot about one specialty'.
My rich dad said, 'You need to learn a little about a lot of things.' "
~ Robert Kiyosaki

Innovation is a pervasively cross-functional process. Although innovation is driven by technology, required competence extends beyond technical know-how. In the new new knowledge economy and knowledge-based enterprises, systemic innovative solutions arise from complex interactions between many individuals, organizations and environmental factors. The boundaries between products and services fade rapidly too. If you wish to be a market leaders today, you must be able to integrate in a balanced way different types of know-how that would transform stand-alone technologies, products and services into a seamless, value-rich solution.

Results-based Leadership

No Idea is Wasted!

Your mind can accept only those ideas that have a frame of reference with your existing knowledge. It rejects everything else. If your knowledge is functionally focused, you'll be open to new ideas related to your functional expertise only and will miss all other learning and innovation opportunities.

If you develop a broad cross-functional expertise, no new idea is wasted. It will immediately connect with the existing knowledge and inspire  you, energize you, and encourage your entrepreneurial creativity. The broader your net, the more fish you can catch.

IT Leader: New Roles of a CIO

Modern ICT-powered Value Chain

IT architects are in growing demand.  They are cross-functionally excellent people who can "tie several silos of expertise together," relate to business problems as well as technology, and then sell their ideas upward and downward in the corporate hierarchy. The position of IT architect has become increasingly important to the ever-changing IT industry, and is one that established corporations and start-ups are seeking.  "As IT positions become more specialized and include increasingly detailed responsibilities, there's a need for someone who can tie several silos of expertise together," says Al Volvano, a product manager for Microsoft's Learning Group.

" Enterprise architects aren't just technology experts; they are leaders with broad IT knowledge, the savvy to apply it to business problems and the communication skills necessary to coordinate the people who will put their plans into action," says Bill Liguori, co-founder of the placement firm Leadership Capital Group.7

Business e-Coach Business e-Coach
