In the mid-80s, when Jack Welch launched GE x10 he said: I would love to have a management team that really understood the cvsx10=bvs equation. Its the value-added role in the management process.
At that time GE was a USD35 billion manufacturer of everything from locomotives to light bulbs. By the time Jack left in 2001 GE market value had maximised to USD484 billion making it the most valuable company in the world.
Today, the most valuable company in the world is Google. In February 2013, WIRED Magazines Steven Levy interviewed Larry Page of Google and wrote:
Larry Page lives by the gospel of 10x. Most companies would be happy to improve a product by 10 percent. Not the CEO and cofounder of Google. The way Page sees it, a 10 percent improvement means that youre basically doing the same thing as everybody else. Thats why Page expects his employees to create products and services that are 10 times better than the competition.
MICHAEL HEWITT-GLEESON designed GE x10 for Jack Welch and is acknowledged as the father of x10 thinking. He is the author of The x10 Memeplex: Multiply Your Business By Ten! (Prentice Hall, 2000). Michael talks about x10 thinking here …
You are right. Repetition is the only way to change mindset that is so fixed over the years. Common knowledge has it that beliefs and values are the hardest to change when one’s mind is fixed.
Therefore it’s logical to escape,search and think for mindset to change.
After hearing Michael speak about CVS-BVS at the “your business success” seminar on the Gold Coast last year it just seemed to click, BUT then I came home and got busy, This is a great reminder to keep revisiting and questioning the CVS.
It is good to have a short reminder like cvs to bvs to make us question the status quo. As well as causing us to have to think harder, it can remind us to listen to others’ perspectives too.
To Escape + Search = BVS.
With repetitive practice (10x), outcomes must become more varied and more lateral in result and approach.
In turn, these more lateral outcomes with further E+S = greater opportunities againm of a BVS.
Such freedom from ingrained thought patterns is liberating. Life becomes much more fun. With more fun, better outcomes again result (good things always happen from a happy place)
This equation brings great abundance and with that ,best possible outcome living.
I really enjoyed hearing the doctor speek lat week at a conference fr TRUenergy, and love the training. I will do the free lessons! The mind is an amazing tool!
I spent a weekend with you Michael in Wellington N.Z 1992 and have not looked back,THANKS A MILLION (x10) CVS TO BVS RULES. THE GOOD OLD DAYS WINDSOR, RICHMOND.Tim
