Based on my initial thoughts that a successful organization was about great customer service and
gaining the lead in market share in the industry. The metrics of feedback from customers and
understand what percent of the customers are buying which products was the key to success.
However, during the time spent and learnings that were gained I realized there is a lot more
involved to what makes an organization successful. After using tools like Power BI to analyze
the three companies in this course and gave me a better understanding of the organizations. I can
say that creating and understanding a balance score card and determining KPIs to look at factors
such as financial, customer, internal process, and learning and growth play a major part in the
growth and success of the company. It is vital for the organization to make sure they are
implementing all their options for their personnel growth, performance factors, team and
organization structure, and clear communication about the company’s goals. When measuring
the growth of a company it is important to use tools like Power BI to create visuals; “The
benefits of Power BI make it an excellent choice for businesses—big, medium, or small- looking
for reporting and analytical capabilities beyond Excel. The primary reason is- it offers
simple+visualization and analysis across the entire business and obtains in-depth insights into the
operation and performance of the business.” (Jolly, 2023). Help better understand and visualize
the high performing KPIs vs the ones that will require changes. It will also allow the company to
track their progress in achieving their goals.

Thank you for your thoughts based on your original thoughts about the success of an
organization has given me much to think about. I find it that it vital for a company to focusing on
the environment and the communities it serves like Patagonia does. However, like you stated this
should not be their only goal as it is not sustainable in the long term. It is important to use tools
to analyze the financial standings of an organization. As if they company is not profitable it will
not be able to invest and expand in their vision and goals. As you progress in your career think
about how the growth of your customers and your employees play a major factor in the
company’s success. The more you invest in the growth, development, and the employees
professional and personal success will help them perform better for the company. “When
employees have opportunities for personal and professional growth, they are more likely to feel
fulfilled in their jobs. This can lead to a greater sense of purpose and motivation, ultimately
resulting in higher levels of job satisfaction. Additionally, when organizations invest in the
development of their employees, it demonstrates a commitment to their success and well-being,
which further contributes to job satisfaction.” (importance of career growth and development,

I agree with your initial thought about what it take for successful organization. I find it
interesting that innovation is high on list of factors. But thinking about it is a factor that should
be considered when analyzing the path and success of the company. I agree with your statement
of a company must adapt to the new trends and embracing digital and eco-friendly. They must
lose sight of the overall picture that to succeed the company must consider the financial factor as
funding is required to invest in the new trends like digital and the new tech in the market. I
would recommend that you also add employee engagement to your other considerations. I feel
that when the employees are engaged in the decisions and feel like the company is there for them
they will be more loyal and high preforming employees.
