We are a fast-moving consulting firm that helps companies, industries and countries better compete in the global marketplace. Our work focuses on research-based strategy matching client capabilities with market needs thereby matching what you can do with what the customer is looking for. It's a logical and winning combination.

How often do we make decisions based on our own internal beliefs only to find that the market never felt that way at all? As the old phrase goes, we simply fail to see the forest for the trees... time and time again. The Corporate Myopia Blog explores situations that may have gone better had someone stopped to ask what the long-term vision, mission or strategy is and whether current events really are valid to long-term direction.

If English is your choice, call Jon Stamell at 212-444-7192.

If you're more comfortable with Spanish, please call

(We can probably accommodate you in Croatian, Italian and a little Mandarin too.)

A card to fit the times

Posted on December 21, 2015 by Jon Stamell

If you’ve received my cards in past years, you know that I have an avocation as part of a cartoon team along with my good friend, George Hughes. Every year, we produce a topical cartoon. This year was filled with dominant personalities but really, nobody could be as great, smart, talented or loved as Santa. I hope you enjoy it and have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Joyous Kwanza and a Happy New Year!

As in past years, the card is from our side business, Gigundo Industries Incorporated, the world’s largest non-existent, virtual company, although like others of its type, it has a website and if your thirst for cartoons isn’t quenched, you can follow the crass commercial message at the bottom of the card and see more of our work at www.gigundoindustries.com.

Happy Holidays,
Jon

Speed to Market

Stanford University Business School did a comparative study years ago on major factors that lead to a company's success. They studied an equal number of companies that had new business ideas. One group insisted on holding back until they felt they had perfected their product. The other felt their product was a little more than half ready but put it out to market early. The results a year later were startling. A significantly higher percentage of companies that went to market as soon as possible were well on their way to viability and profitability. Conversely, a significantly higher number of companies that thought they had perfected their product had failed or were heading in that direction. The reason? Immediate market feedback gave those companies that rushed to market the knowledge to better attune their products to market needs. The other companies had already used up their resources to apply to ongoing product improvement. Speed to market also applies to marketing campaigns. Quick to research, get feedback and adapt messaging makes for more successful campaigns. Velocity is a key factor in business success both for operations and marketing
