Fast-Track Elimination of "Sand in the Gears" (sm)

What does “Sand in the Gears” mean? You probably have an intuitive sense just hearing the words, but let’s describe it as those things that don’t quite work or work together. (click here for common symptoms). What kind of “Sand in the Gears” exists in your organization? How does it appear? What do you think the "Sand in the Gears" is costing you in waste or lost opportunities?

80-90% of the “Sand in the Gears” is embedded in the underlying systems of the organization (the way people, processes, knowledge and information work together). “Sand in the Gears” will overcome good and even great people.

4aBetterBusiness enables organizations to accomplish fast-track elimination, at the source, of the “Sand in the Gears” that saps performance. No new training or special preparation is required. You will commonly see in a matter of weeks significant organization-wide results that build momentum and set in motion the full transition to a high performing organization.

Resistance to change is a common fear. 4aBetterBusiness’ holistic system develops immediate employee buy-in. People willingly make changes when they're engaged in the effort, trust is part of the equation and they see a better option.
