The five FIST strategies are innovation, growth, customers, collaboration and people. Bob explains each theme. First, for Veridian and the Veridian Systems Division to be successful, we have to be world-class innovators. In today s dynamic business environment characterized by an insatiable appetite for information, intense competitive pressures and disruptive technologies, innovation has to be fundamental to a company s culture if it is to prosper. Second, growth is essential to an organization that seeks to offer talented people careers, versus jobs.
Growth is a good thing from all perspectives.
Growth provides new, challenging work opportunities, professional development and financial reward not to mention that it is just a lot more enjoyable to work in a vital and growing company environment. To reach the division s growth goals, Bob looks to energize business development efforts across the division. Third, Bob points out that customers are at the top of any Veridian priority list. This company has an excellent reputation with its customers. We need to sustain and build on that reputation.
