KEY TAKEAWAYS
The 5Ds, identified as critical success criteria for anyone, whether as an individual, part of a team, wanting to grow scale or improve their business.
The 5 ‘Ds’
Desire
Discover
Dedication
Deliberate action
Deliver
- Desire
Why desire? – desire is an emotion, its far stronger than just wanting something. You’ve got to really feel that emotion, that you want to overcome that obstacle that’s in front of you.
Desire is all about truly believing in that destination. It’s where you want to get to if you are an organisation. As a business it is the reason to exist and the reason why you do what you do.
- Discover
Discover the things that are getting in your way. It’s about understanding those things that are obstructing you, those issues that are getting in the way for you in the journey to achieving your desired destination.
The Desire and Discover success criteria are all about framing your problem and understanding the things that are getting in the way of getting to your outcome.
