Do not be surprised

This is a copy of my previous presentation entitledStrategic mapping as inspired by dentistry

Do not be surprised

The title is dry and void of any emotion

The Result

The fewest number of views, comments, downloads and favorites the presentation received among my previous 56 presentations

It is great that sliseshare allows for experimenting

I have just changed the title and the abstract and added these introductory slides

Plaque on teeth Strategic mapping

Are they related?

To me strategy is knowing where you stand (your position) before you decide where to go (Your Vision)

As you move in the selected direction you learn. Each step is a

learning experience

You need first to know the limiting factors that kept you in your current

position and precluded you from moving forward

What does this all have to do with dentistry?

Answering this question is revealing of strategic thinking and mapping

important than the quantity of sugar consumption

Sugar accelerates the decaying of teeth

Likewise; beware of employees who come frequently to you with

“sweet talks”.

These employees will decay the organization

Get rid of decaying

employees if you wish your organization to move up to its

grand goal

Like we clean and floss the

teeth frequently to stop dental plaque do the same for your organization

The dentist shall determine if you need a filling for your cavitiesIt is your job to determine if your organization needs filling

What is a Temporary Filling?

During a restorative filling, that is more extensive, a dentist may opt to observe the tooth first, before placing a permanent restorative material. He will place a medicament that will initiate “repair” and “regeneration” on the infected tissues. This layer of medicaments will be sealed with a temporary filling and the tooth will be placed under observation.

Observe the organization first

Then do the Repair and the Regeneration

Filling cavities of organizations is similar to filling teeth cavities

A temporary solution is never the lasting solution as these have to be stronger than temporary ones
