Claimer of this Book :10X is possible

..irrespective of company Irrespective of circumstances

The 10X Ultra high-

performance It is not nuclear science … but it is INVISIBLE …and VISIBLE to

only non linear leader …

In this book , I have tried to summarize the factors

responsible for the uHP .. practical examples and cases of how the performance can

be enhanced to 10X…

I have also tried to link my various experiences to

substantiate my claims…

This is the only book in the world ..which has CLAIMER

…not the DISCLAIMER …

The Da VINCI code of ultra high performance

> CRACKED

How 10X can be achieved Every thing is GOD SENT ….( Top Down)

TOP DOWN vs. BOTTOM UP - The Organization s excessive focus on

the Operational issues were carefully resolved to ensure that

the flow comes from the top ..not the BOTTOM UP …which tend to confine

the strategic thinking to operational constraints….i changed the culture

I brought in the sensitization with respect to the meta system - $ 30 Bn

opportunity potential was liberated by identifying the product fitments in the

emerging strategic markets .. Identified the M&A opportunity for

the long term advantages and infact saved the organization from wrong investments …which would not have

aligned with the overall vision..

Scope of Value creation vs. CEO agenda consideration vs. Actual time spent – decides where the

organization is heading…

10X High performance Theme book – forward

First of all , the 10X high performance is a metaphor for liberating potential – and can not be just blindly taken as 10x in all the sense… there are impractical way to think that a human body can grow 10x in height ..unless the genes are controlled … thus I have tried to introduce the concept of SMART PLAY …where in ..it is very important for the STRATEGIC PLANNER to really understand what is possible and what is not ? – for example – IF you want to touch Moon. You cant start climbing Mt Everest..u need to strategically invest in ROCKETS… similarly there are so many industries , O&G, Energy , Metals , Consumers ( Durables ) IT which are largely linked to the GLOBAL BIG META SYSTEMS of changes ..which are so much solid n influencing that… one can not even think about Strategic planning in ISOLATION ..for these industries

Page 8: AJAY GOHIL

10X High performance Theme book – forward

What is META SYSTEM?– Meta systems are put it simply – the system of SYSTEMS ..now just imagine a company like DUPONT ..which has multiple eco systems like AGRI , NUTRUITION , INDUSTRIAL BIOSCIENCE , ADV MATERIALS ( packaging , electronics , safety , polymers etc) …now for each of such a VAST ECO SYSTEMS ..there are plenty of OVERLAPPING SYNERGIES and RISKS too … which are happening rather silently ..invisibly and almost sort of BLACKSWAN …for example ..How US SHALE GAS has thrown spanner on PERFORMANCE PLASTICS business plan .. How GENETICS have thrown spanner into AGROCHEMICALS business case … How Advanced POLYMERS and ETPs has scupper the ALUMINIUM industries plans , How BASF or SABIC can make even the big LOREAL or LVMH run for the money ..how a small ALIBABA kind of e-commerce site can make UNILEVER troubled … these all things are the Result of META SYSTEM interplay

LOW HANGING FRUITS – is so outdated - metasystems means huge opportunity to grow 10X …. A very strong incentive – consider You want to avail the mega consumerism trend and you are into specialty chemicals POLY ETHYLENE GLYCOL) u produce your PEG of highest purity ..can have multiple use ..but if you leave the benefits at the door step of FMCG comp to leverage ..then your strategy is so wrong .. Similarly there are so many back end suppliers of high quality product value … which are thanks to PERVASIVE SOCIAL MEDIA and EASY ACCESS TO INTERNET and GOOGLE … they can be competing to the customers directly … the GTM has changed ..you don’t need big DISTRIBUTION system..the orders can be highly customized..the BIG DATA ANALYTICS can help in leveraging the optimal customer mix … thus the Knowledge . CAPITAL ..HUMAN TALENT is simply not an issue…

If there is pest attack on Argentina sunflower , the re is high inflation in INDIA . – Globally connected , cross regional , cross systemic . Agriculture vs petro cutlure Food vs Fiber vs. Feed vs Fuel China polarization China 50%: 50%

Time to move on , recognize the need for strategic horizon, ability to switch gear

Ability to prepare for sudden shocks, natural calamities , unexpected risks Disruptive technologies – 3D/ Analytics/ SMAC/Biotech/RE/Solar/Shale gas/ Smart grid Obsolesce

Despite being the market leader , expert in the strategic emerging areas- things can go awry Risks of Average out thinking – lack of value creation Remaining in comfort zone – Operational thinking

In order to create stakeholders returns. Blindly pursuing the strategic short term vision less moves 0 like spin off, divestments , low R&D Operational thinking only

All eggs in one basket High dependency on critical drivers Big reliance on several competitive advantages like Oil . Mines etc Over investments

High Impact , Sudden HIGH impact, Slow realization

If these risks are so big .So pervasive

,Omnipresent … then how can we talk about 10X ?

Page 10: AJAY GOHIL

The Metasystem risks and synergies are evolving in just a weird manner that it is DO or DIE – the really NON LINEAR and DISRUPTIVE

No more Floppy , No more CDs , No more Pen drives .. We have clouds and we will have ROBOTS

Ultra Advanced Materials – Li Fe batteries , high performance plastics ,rare earths …to enable the real light weight cars enabling 100 MPG performance …

The rate of technology obsolescence vs rate of introduction of new products / new technology / new Ais etc has been mind boggling and this is reinforced and enabled by the SMAC / Consumerism /Globalization Internet of Things / ever expansive use of networks – enabling the HYPER customization …

All guys are same – The small or Big ..the internet is neutral..as long as there is a value ..you will be considered ..

Movie in 1 Minute on Mobile – It has been only 20 years back the internet got into everybody’s life and today massive 7 Bn people are user of networking….the speed of data has increased from mere 20KBPS to 20 MBPS and now we can use FTTH /5G for even 10Gbps.

Globalization in true sense – Ordering the INFERNO of dan brown , over amazon lying somewhere in the desert of MOZAVE …and airdroped on door step in KATWARIA SARAI that too in a single day …

This means …while SOME GUYS have difficulty in protecting turf ..some guys can think so really BIG … Some guys find difficult to deliver even 10% …while some guys coolly RECKS in …10X

Why Ultra High performance is talked about at al ? – The performance of 10% yoy is just OK ..or may be one can think of 2X …why just 10X..?

First thing first – Why 10X is possible n 10% is not …

So …what can I do with META SYSTEM …so that I can get 10X

What is Ultra High Performance ?

The ultra high performance – is Sustainable , Strategic value creation ,

realizing the FULL POTENTIAL – in systematic, smart , passion driven excellence path way .

THE DIFFERENCE OF GENES - Ultra High performance , differs from just the performance – because at any point in time there is always the UHP far ahead in simple performance … the examples are many …You want to write a page ..vs. you can write a BOOK …

EVERY THING IS FROM THE TOP so many results just become the victim of poor Quality of leadership , Poor decision making, poor executional rigor – which means less or mediocre performance … the motivation to deliver the uHP depends on the quality of the CEO / The TOP CULTURE …

CANT PUNISH ROBOTS - The UHP does not require specialized training at HARVARD , does not require changing the entire organization into a machine…automation is good , but it should be passion driven..else the robots can not be punished for poor results

What is ultra high performance ? – can it be achieved without ultra high level of efforts or ultra high CAPEX or ultra high investments ?

Biz SIMULATOR - Let DATA speak -organized , incorporated the

mission critical parameters for SNR level decision making – All under one roof – to see the details of – what if the sales man in one part of the market does not smile to the customer,- how much business is lost … or the effect of migration of customers due to change of price or just management inertia – helped sensitized management on GAMUT of business parameters … A DETAILED THINK THROUGH PLANNING

VALUE PRICE – better than others but on performance … products commanded 25% premium to next best option / 55% to generics – used the BRAND MAGNETISM to achieve landslide customer migration - fitting into customers VALUE.

Smart KPIs – game changing, sustainable & shaping –

focus shifted from easy to achieve OPERATIONAL KPIs to strategic value creation – like M&As are evaluated on annual value accretion , pricing strategies on How much more customers acquired , more premium earned – Not just Overall OPERATIONAL BLANKET – the performance shaped on strategic value creation and sustainability drivers

Page 24: AJAY GOHIL

Insisted on Smart systems – Smart KRAs/ KPIs

CO-OWNING OF VISION through Smart KPIs Brand manager – evaluated on( % of the total aware to converted ) of the customer segment / $ of A&P spend – this has resulted in the culture of ultra high entrepreneurial ship in owning the business – use of smart practices to reach out the audience … innovative channels , SMAC , multiple practices were followed Improved the Performance of Marketing team by ~ 55% in terms of bringing the new customers , new geographies at minimal cost to serve Segregation of KPIs – the performance of the strategy team was decided by @ of new strategic markets covered, solidity of the business assumptions ( trends , forecast , enablers impact assessment etc ) , # of deals worked , strategic long term advantage creation …rather than just helping the business team and thereby lost in translation

You don’t always

need TOWERS WATSON

to tell u that …

70% employees find “strategy” a term used by CEOs…for fun.

55% employees find the vision and day to day operations – disconnected .

More than half employees don’t know the organization vision and confused about their role …the KPIs are way too operational

Most employees YEARNs for meeting with Senior Management

Senior management is not friendly …not even say GOOD MORNING to start a day

The CEOs and HR has only one thing in mind – organization restructuring –cutting the pie without meaning

Organization scores way too low on leadership qualities , LOMINGER COMPETENCEIS

There are no proper INTERVIEWS..no proper EXECUTIONAL REGIOUR ..no proper training and no proper follow up
