What does OEC stand for anyway?
There was a woman who went to an interview at a very prestigious firm. Everything about the office was stunning. It featured sleek furniture, abundant natural light, high-quality finishes, and state-of-the-art technology. The only blemish was an unsightly extension cord behind the receptionist’s desk.
Fast forward several weeks. After numerous interviews, the woman offered the role and was overwhelmed with excitement. But she can’t stop wondering why such a beautiful workspace has this random extension cord.
She finally decides to ask someone about it, but to her surprise, they have no idea what she is referring to. After a sanity check to confirm there was, in fact, an orange extension cord. She proceeded to inquire with several others. Each time, she was met with the same confusion. No one was aware of any orange extension cord.
The other firm members had become so accustomed to the orange extension cord that they no longer saw it.
OEC Solutions brings a fresh perspective to helping leaders and organizations identify their ‘orange extension cords’ to build trust, alignment, and clarity and, in the process, transform their businesses.
