Now, So Much More Is Known About Business
Success Principles–Are You Prepared to Apply It?

Although the recent economic environment may be tougher than in the past, businesses today have access to much better knowledge about what succeeds and what does not. So much more is now available about the principles of business success, not only here on this website, but also from other sources. This includes the information about business success and failure patterns that I have unearthed in my 25+ years researching Winning Moves. In addition, over the last several years, there have also been various research studies by academics and business gurus, some of which are related to or confirm my findings. And, all of this may be augmented by a company’s own information or its outside resources.

A considerable amount of the available information about business success was highly misunderstood as recently as fifteen to twenty years ago. Some of it has been misunderstood even more recently. And, there are signs that some of the available knowledge about business success is still not widely understood today. This can be the case not only for lesser known principles, but even for some of what has been popularized via media and best-selling books.

Sometimes, ambiguity can result when a study or book mentions a research finding, but doesn’t include an in-depth discussion of what it means. Thus, it may easily be misinterpreted by those who avail themselves of the information. Sometimes, people just have trouble applying the research findings in a setting far removed from the information source. Sometimes, a finding may be difficult to grasp when it goes against what people expect. Sometimes, by its very nature, a research finding has some underlying, yet not so obvious, complexities that can make it seem more ambiguous.

Thus, many factors can contribute to the ambiguity and lack of clarity about business success principles. So, as a result of factors such as the above, there seems to be a need for better examples and explanations of the principles behind business success. These kinds of explanations will not only present new perspectives, but will also go more deeply into clarifying what is already known so it can be applied more effectively.

And, there seems to be a real need for clarification. For example, an article may discuss a misstep a particular company made and say that the results were unpredictable in today’s environment of uncertainty. Yet, the misstep they describe is so typical of patterns that repeat themselves over and over again that anyone who understood the patterns would never have attributed the misstep to uncertainty. Those patterns have a high probability of repeating themselves. And, anyone paying attention to the patterns could probably have easily predicted the misstep. Still, the misstep was essentially considered uncertain and unpredictable in a relatively recent article in a prestigious publication.

That’s why, despite greater availability of information about business success, it appears that more examples and explanations would be beneficial. This website and the Winning Moves® Blog are designed to offer that kind of help by providing further explanations of available information about business success, as well as new insights. With those further explanations and with clarification of common misperceptions, the material here helps businesses apply all that information now available about the principles of success.
