What is Corporate Development?

Corporate Development is highly sought-after as the grail from which success must spring. The Article above makes much of financial refinement, acquisitions, and the strengthening of corporate bonds between companies, but says nothing, quite literally nothing, about the people who are the lifeblood of every corporate entity.

Much has been made of Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen and the tribal brotherhood of similar programmes, yet we have lived through the flagship decade of continuous improvement and the corporate world still suffers the same maladies.

Where are the miracle cures for blame culture, inertia, down time and negativity? These are the deep problems which many managers, directors and CEOs would dearly love to sweep under the carpet, but cannot deny being there. All the structural management changes possible in a company's lifetime are not going to dent the deep-seated convictions of its primary workforce.

Until the management structure learns to respect and nurture the human spirit, the human spirit will continue to resist efforts to instill conformity. The will of the human being is strong. It is a creative life-force and as such motivation is a fundamental need.

Dogma and doctrine live on, those well-tried and tested methods of management which continually fail to reap rewards. There was a time when people spoke openly in boardrooms of blue-sky thinking, dolphins and dinosaurs, singing from hymn sheets and stepping out of the box. But still, we witness the ravages of corporate collapse, incestuous politics and responsibility resistance. There are many who despair of the golden age which never really seems to have materialized.

There is a breakthrough happening right now, and it is only a matter of time before the more enlightened of CEOs take it upon themselves to explore noetic science, to put two and two together to actually make four, not five as the strategists would have them believe, nor three as per the warnings of their chief accountant.

The simple value of the human spirit is a powerful force which most ignore for fear it may strike against them, and indeed it is fair to say that the Jurassic doctrines of many long-lived company directorships have some degree of history which may justify such fear. But in the human spirit there is also room for forgiveness, and a rapidly expanding desire to progress.

People are more prepared than ever to put the past behind them and forge a better future with the powers at their personal disposal.

Noetic science is just beginning to break the boundaries of social thinking and will better place us to progress as we need to, so that personally and collectively we may evolve.

I urge all readers to step up to the plate and make room in their corporate world for real transformation, based on positivity, motivation, respect and goodwill, which are tangible commodities everyone can recognize and actively buy into.

I have seen it happen in the environs of the steel industry with my own programme delivery, and know that the possible transformations are visible and sustainable; words which every board of executives wants to believe in and see evidence of in the results of their own work.

Whatever you do, take the power of noetic reality into your world for the benefit of everyone working therein. --Kathy R.
