I grew up wearing clothes from Marks and Spencer - some of which were extremely dodgy! Platform shoes, green high waisted Oxford Bags, and a grey ribbed tank top! My first suit was bought at M&S, and my second, and, most probably, my third. But somewhere along the line the idea of buying something from Mark and Spencer, especially clothing, seemed to lose its appeal for me, my family and apparently, millions of others. We had changed but it hadn’t! In this week’s Leadership Story we explore how a company founded in 1884 is reshaping its strategy and is beginning to see how making such a change can impact on performance. Capturing this in a Culture Footprint shows how connecting proactive leadership behaviour, culture, and strategic intent can be such a successful approach. #leadership #culturechange https://lnkd.in/e8UsGt4Y

Reflecting on my personal preferences, I find a profound appreciation for simplicity and a ‘less but better’ approach in product offerings. But it’s not just a matter of personal taste; it’s a crucial strategy for businesses striving for efficiency and profitability, especially in disruptive times. Organizations benefit immensely from simplifying their SKU counts, streamlining operations, enhancing responsiveness and efficiency. It also leads to increased profitability by focusing resources on fewer, higher-performing products. This also aligns with environmental sustainability through reduced waste. In an era where choices abound, simplicity offers clarity and value, both to businesses and consumers. Embracing this approach could be a key to thriving in challenging times. #operationalefficiency #profitability #operations #strategy #leadership
