A group of bankers visited the company today with the purpose of understanding the company more, to find out our future financial needs. It was a good visit but as expected the subject of whether the company was going to be bought over came up. Its just amazes me that our company generates so much interest that people actually bother to talk and speculate about us. And while I was with the bankers, I was receiving smses from a major client who by the way was overseas, wanting to confirm whether there was a re-organization exercise in the company and if so what is to become of some of my direct reports. Again, the interest in what we do in the company by people outside the company can sometime be mind boggling.
I guess the moral of the story is that transformation is not only about owners, shareholders,employees. Its about all the stakeholders including the customers, the bankers, the vendors & from the look of things just about everyone including the general public & the political masters... an interesting thought isn't it ?

Couldn't agree more with mindacergas. Are all the stakeholders really sincere in their concern with the tranformation, which is intended to better the company for positive growth, or is it an opprotunity for them to shape things for their personal benefit, or will it shake up whatever they have "built" to date and cause their "interests" to be jeopardized?
Maybe a "transformation" is not good enough...possibly a "revolution"??? I say hmmm......
A company going thru transformation is liken to a plain Jane who suddenly starts wearing mini skirts and have her hair coloured all blond.Therefore it is normal behaviour of stakeholders to be interested in a company that out of sudden going thru changes.
