#TChat Preview: The “Be Different Or Be Dead” Show

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, June 25, 2014, from 7pm – 8pm ET for a special Twitter chat. Meghan and Kevin will be attending the #SHRM14 Conference in Orlando, so there will be no radio show this week.

Last week we talked about authenticity, and this week we’re going to discuss how organizations can and should differentiate. In such a noisy “me, me, me” world, how can organizations stand out from the herd and distance themselves from it?

It all starts with reinventing how the business strategy is developed. The emphasis should shift from strategic direction to actual execution. Many plans may look good on paper but can never be executed. They theoretically shine but are worthless as they fall short of being deployable and delivering results.

The “be different” bottom line means to stand out from everyone else you need to provide ongoing value that people care about and that is unique. Failure to deliver that you’ll be ignored, invisible, all too common and dead (sooner or later).

Join #TChat community moderator Nancy Rubin as we learn more about differentiation with this week’s guest: Roy Osing, a leading executive in Canadian business and a recognized blogger, speaker, seminar leader, business advisor, educator and personal coach; and Melany Hellstern, founder and president of insulinpumps.ca.
