Pedigree’s Top 5 New Year’s Resolutions
It’s that time again when we make our lists, set our goals and steel our convictions that this year is going to be different. At a time when people are putting some thought into making themselves more organized, efficient and productive it only seems fitting that we here at Pedigree make our own resolutions for the coming year. We try to practice what we preach to our customers, so in the spirit of doing what we say we’re going to strive to:
5. Do more with what we’ve got
Everyone has a list of things they’d get done if they only had the _____(time, money, resources). 2009 changed the way most of us think about adding costs to our operations and we are committed to making our existing resources more productive by implementing tools and programs to eliminate waste and automate our work processes.
4. Focus on what matters
In addition to doing more with what we have, we’re prioritizing our efforts to be the most impactful. We must be mindful of the old adage “don’t confuse motion with progress”. There is always more work than can get done, its critical that we address the issues of the greatest importance and allow ourselves to reschedule or delay acting on issues that are high effort, low impact.
3. Be a good partner
We’re in business because of our commitment to our customers, which means our business health depends on your business health. We strive to be a customer oriented organization, but that doesn’t assure either of our businesses are successful. We need to make sure that we support our customers and our partners by being proactive in understanding their needs and goals.
2. Make our people more effective
Employees are often recognized as the most important part of an organization and we at Pedigree certainly believe that to be the case. We see them as the life blood of our operations, yet we often find that we haven’t given them the best tools for the jobs they are doing. Its imperative that we invest in training and equipping the workforce, especially the ones in the field doing the actual work. We make it our business to make our customers’ employees more effective, in 2010 we will redouble our efforts to do the same for our own.
1. Listen to our customers
Yes it seems like a cliché but it cannot be over emphasized. Our goal is to be the #1 solution for supply chain, field force and operations management for the energy market. We believe strongly in our technical capabilities but the only way we become the market leader is by delivering solutions that our customer truly need and do it more effectively than the competition. We are going to make 2010 our best year yet and we’ll do our best to make that true for our customers as well.
We’d love to hear your resolutions and see how we can help you achieve them! You can reach us at sales@pedigreetechnologies.com.
Best wishes for a productive and prosperous 2010.
