Abstract:The top-performing companies on growth in our MIT CISR study used four distinct organizational levers to unlock value. We found that the companies in the top quartile of effectiveness at performing organizational surgery using these four levers were also top financial performers, growing 12 percentage points above their industry average; and leaders in innovation, with 45 percent of their annual revenue coming from new products introduced in the last three years. In this briefing we describe the four levers and illustrate them with examples from financial services companies ANZ and Standard Bank Group.
