How to Understand the Role of Pace in Business; Part 2

United Parcel Service (UPS) ran a very successful marketing and ad campaign several years ago using the slogan “UPS, moving at the speed of business”.

The phrase “moving at the speed of business” seems to imply speed and things moving at a quick, brisk pace. Yet the campaign is not simply about speed, but about being committed to on time delivery according to the needs of your business.

What kind of delivery schedule does your work or customer require, same day, two day, next week, or even next year? You may find the answer is “all of the above”

Last week we learned how the strengths you rely on most, help you or hurt you in delivering on commitments. When we combine this with considering what your client really needs, it helps you to work at the pace most appropriate for you are responsible for. Responding/managing to what the client really needs allows you to manage “urgency”. Getting the “urgency” factor right helps you be more productive and work at the speed of your business.
