Awareness is a key aspect of success in large businesses. In fact, awareness will become increasingly important in businesses as we move into an increasingly challenging global environment.
Awareness is noticing the unnoticeable. It is a movement of the attention away from the usual, the normal, the habitual way of operating. It brings your attention to those things within your organisation which are indicators, or sign posts, to you. You notice cycles, trends, healthiness, lack of organisational healthiness. The unnoticeable gives you wisdom and through this wisdom, increased decision making power, direction setting, prioritisation and engagement power.
Our photos are a reminder to you of awareness. They track the events, the changes, the cycles at one location. Before we started this activity, we were particularly unaware of our own environment. Caught up in the day to day challenges of running a business, dashing off to meeting after meeting, we did not know what has happening in our own street. Now we have a very extensive knowledge of our area through this work.
Enjoy the photos. Be reminded. Be aware. Notice the changes, the trends, the cycles in your own environment. It takes only a moment or two a day.
