Thoughts For Your Consideration!

August 9, 2022

WE’RE BACK!!!!!

After a few weeks' break, post my retirement from Microchip, it’s time to jump back into the fray and offer up many of my thoughts for your consideration… and that will be the basis title of this blog series for the foreseeable future.

Thoughts for your consideration!

An interesting perspective is allowed by having the freedom of expression that comes with no ties or connections to anyone or anything beyond what you choose to connect with.  This is a formidable challenge as it allows for many more open doors and perspectives than when one is tied closely to any corporate entity.  While you should not expect to see much of a radical change in thinking from what has been put forward for last several years, you will likely hear some significant extensions from what has already been said.  And there is a LOT to be said.

At the same time most of what will be offered up is directly in link with all of the CUSP theory and execution that has been communicated directly and distinctly from here for a LONG time.  

CUSP remains the soapbox from which most of the blog posts that you will see from here ongoing will have as a cornerstone.

In that light, the new mitchlittle.com website is in its early launch stage.  It opens up sharing with you all, another avenue of creation that has been a personal passion for most of my life, photography!  Adding to the announcement of CUSP Advisory Group, the photography element will dig into the fundamentals of EXPLORE the world, DISCOVER new possibilities, and CREATE excellence!

ALL things are driven by the fundamental of the Dragon and MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

CUSP, a human engagement process, unlike typical “sales processes” is centered around serving others to help them co-create value that aids others in achieving what THEY wish to achieve, in service to the people that THEY serve.

CUSP is the following mindset….

CARE greatly,

UNDERSTAND deeply,

SERVE endlessly, with

PURPOSE

In support of the globalization of the CUSP concepts, post the retirement from MCHP, the CUSP ADVISORY GROUP has been formed.

The CUSP ADVISORY GROUP stands ready to serve others that wish to achieve excellence in co-creating client value, excellence in co-creating leadership, and excellence in outcomes that matter!

So, consider the thought that while many folks are rushing to get BACK to normal, those that create excellence, think differently and are looking at how to best serve those that they serve with NEW ideas; that come from all directions and represent a serious re-look at all timelines and assumptions.  

As is said in SHIFTABILITY… “the world has changed (add greatly to that sentence now), have you”?  Time to shift!

In upcoming blogs, I will offer up for consideration some thoughts on...

  • Why does the thought and word CLIENT vs customer matter so very much now?
  • Sales and marketing should no longer be separate things as they together must deliver a seamless client engagement process, not separate.
  • Face-to-face sales calls may not be dead, but their value is highly limited and should be distinctly redirected to add specific value.
  • What we do now matters more than what we say, so how DO we change?
  • Commission as a form of payment is MORE of a poison than ever.
  • The strength of succession planning in companies of all sizes.
  • WFH vs WFO vs WHA… we will dig into my assumption about all.
  • In a market filled with buyer tension, and stressed growth on everyone’s side, the only way to GROW is through market share shifts. And everyone knows this battle well.  The secret is in getting a client to change their thinking, and change management.  And we will dig into that as well as MANY more other THOUGHTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION!  

And in continuance and onward…

OK, LET’S ROLL!
