This case analysis is based on the events that occurred on March 13, 2001 and the days that followed at Cerner Corporation. On that day the Chief Executive Officer of Cerner Corporation, Neal Patterson, sent a memo to the company’s managers via e-mail.

An individual’s prior experiences can influence an organization. This is most common when organizations are first developed or created. As most organization are created out of pieces of previous ones, individuals bring with them prior experiences which help shape the mission, and goals of an organization (55). Professional norms also impact the actions of an organizations. While it can be very difficult to change an organization from the outside, individuals from a certain background can be hired to impact the organization from within. The author provides the example of the NHTSA. When administrators wished to implement more requirements for driver safety, more crash engineers were hired to change the internal viewpoint of the organization which led to increased vehicle safety requirements (62).

The 8 concepts I will discuss in this paper will stem from the courses: Leadership I & II, Critical Thinking I & II, Measurements I & II, Satisfying Customers II, and Satisfying Shareholders. While the information acquired from these courses provided the initial thought process for our organization, it was how we collectively decided to apply those principles in a creative and unique manner, in my opinion, is what gave us our competitive advantage. For example, imagine being told you could build your own car. You know the things the car must have to make it operational, such as the engine, the body, tires, etc. But it’s when you customize your car, it begins to take on your identity or brand, and this is what we did with our decision making processes in which I feel led to our organization’s ultimate success.

Mr. Lutz, I can understand why you are puzzled by the Ad Age articles. The truth is that you are in an unprecedented executive position at General Motors and the future of this all-American company rests in your hands. You see Mr. Lutz, the function of marketing is about satisfying the needs of your customers; developing a brand experience, if you will. Although marketing is an extremely broad organizational function, it’s purpose is to create, communicate and deliver value to its customers while maintaining those relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders. Where General Motors has failed is in its ability to connect with their customers. Undeniably, GM has become a company focused on serving itself. To ensure GM’s profitability in this highly commoditized economy, you must refocus your attention on who keeps you in business; your customers. Indeed, there must be a shift from the GM’s current sales (how can we sell more aggressively) & production (what can we make best) orientation, to a more holistic market orientation. By utilizing the holistic marketing concept, we refocus the list of marketing mix activities to include people, processes, performance and programs (Kotler, P., & Keller, K. L., 2012). This change in orientation will improve GM’s market position as it includes four all-encompassing parts: relationship marketing (processes), performance marketing (performance), internal marketing (people), and integrated marketing (programs)

Evolution is upon us in the business industry. Like the caterpillar who morphs into a beautiful butterfly, many companies are “Going Teal,” adapting to a new business environment that will help the organization thrive and move forward to the next chapter. What does it mean to go Teal? “Life is a journey, not a destination.” This statement applies to business organizations because it is difficult to have pre-planned goals and set the direction of a business in an ever changing environment in which they operate. Organizations are similar to a living organism, they have their own creative potential and evolutionary purpose. (Laloux, 2015 pg. 2)
