Imagine…A business owner scrambles to come up with money to make his payroll. As a last desperate measure, he gathers up every last penny he has and flies to Vegas. He gambles…and wins!

Envisioning the failure of your organization is not a pleasant exercise, in fact it can be downright scary. In life, and in business, none of us like to think about potential failure, let alone describe it in gory detail and wallow in it. Yet, in a controlled environment, it will be one of the most useful and enlightening discussions a management team will ever have. Creating a vision of failure will force management to:
· Critically understand, challenge and test the assumptions that your strategy is built on.
· Look at the business as an objective third party might.
· Discover remarkable clarity about weaknesses, gaps, and opportunities.
· Put traditional risk assessment into a broader and more useful context.
· Be truly innovative to find new sources of growth and strength.
· Learn to recognize potential warning signs of real failure, before it is too late.
· Align their thinking on key issues that usually remains unspoken.

Outsourcing cannot be considered a new phenomenon even though the rising attention toward this subject has brought lots of important issues into the daylight. Lots of service and even manufacturing companies started creating jobs overseas to gain wider access to foreign markets. They act as consultants auditors and perform other functions where their customers are. Putting it in other words, they have found customers and came to serve them. Another reason for a big number of emerging foreign companies oversees is saturation of the domestic markets. Approximately 60% of the profits of

It's a brave new world. Effective management now means more than how you handle your staff. Management also includes how you manage your social reproducibility to others in your community. "There is no way to avoid paying serious attention to corporate citizenship: the costs of failing are simply too high. There are countless win-win opportunities waiting to be discovered: every activity in a firm's value chain overlaps in some way with social factors - everything from how you buy or procure to how you do your research - yet very few companies have thought about this.The goa
The exercise is straightforward. We've all been through workshops, and strategic off-sites to create a vision of the future, and a strategy to get there. In its traditional form, a typical vision statement spells out where you want to be, and what the company looks like at a point in time in the future. In essence, the traditional vision statement is a snapshot of the desired future state of the company.
Rather than create a vision of a desired future state, envision varying degrees of business failure, and what events, inside and outside of your control might contribute. A few pointers for success:
· Keep the session secret. The very notion can be alarming and distracting to employees. Without the proper context, shareholders, customers, and competitors will draw their own conclusions.
· Keep the results secret. The output from the session is an articulation of your flaws and weaknesses, and could be dangerous in the wrong hands.
· Use a consultant that is experienced with similar exercises. This exercise can get badly off-track if not handled expertly.
· Be prepared to act on what you learn. If you won't take steps to change based on the results, then don't bother with the exercise.
· Be as open and objective as possible. This is not a session for management to air their pet peeves, and bemoan everything that is bad about the company.
· Ensure the work is sponsored and fully supported by the CEO or division leader.
Careful preparation and follow up are as important as the session itself. After the session, you should have a solid statement of just how bad things could go wrong. Like a traditional vision statement, a vision of failure will be more useful and practical if it is strategi
