A New Perspective on Your Business

Kerry Bass

When it comes to sharing your Faith, sometimes it can be difficult if you are in a business situation or at a business meeting.

How will people react?  How little or how much should I share?  Is it OK to mention the Name of Jesus?

These are just a few of the things that could be crossing your mind as you discuss business, ethics or whatever the meeting is about.

What about that terrible word: CHANGE?

Some organizations embrace it. Most employees want to avoid it!  Amen!  Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good!

Whether you're a business leader, a change management professional, or simply someone intrigued by the intersection of society, technology and faith, I can guarantee you are going to get a lot of valuable information for today’s interview. Amen!

To help shed some insight into ways to handle these types of situations, our guest, Kerry L. Bass, will give us some insights and wisdom to use in business settings, etc.

Kerry Bass is the CEO and Founder of “Potential to Reality Consulting,” which specializes in enterprise transformation, operational excellence and organizational change management.

Kerry’s vast expertise is what drives the positive changes in the organizations he helps and for society as a whole.

He is also the Senior Member of the “American Society of Quality” (or – ASQ) and is the Chairman of the “Center for Electoral Quality and Integrity.”

Help me welcome to the program, Kerry L. Bass.  Kerry, it is a blessing to have you on the program today. I want to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join us today.

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief in formation I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Kerry Bass?”

How did you get started in the type of consulting business you now operate?

Is it true that, in order to effectively change an organization, you need to bring a change to the people?  Does that mean, “Change the People” as in the leadership?  Or changing the attitudes and perspectives of the people making up the organization?

Lee Iacoca example with Chrysler – Change the People…

How often do you run into the attitude of “But this is always the way we’ve done it…”

I remember studying about Henry Ford and the assembly line. At first, it was debunked… but when he started turning out better cars and at a faster pace than the competitors, suddenly – everyone wanted to build an assembly line. And not just automobile plants either! 

Is this kind of how AI is shaking up the business landscape right now?  Something that’s new, innovative – but that just about every organization will have to adapt or be left behind?

Is AI something business owners need to embrace or shun?

What is something you caution business leaders to watch out for when adopting AI in their business?

I want to talk about, as I alluded to in the opening, is the Christian Faith in the organizational culture today. Is that something that is growing or diminishing in the companies that you have gone in to help?

Do you see the value of integrity as something that helps Christian business leaders influence the office culture and those who they are working with at their company?

Kerry, this has been so interesting. As we get ready to close, I want to ask you to provide our listeners some insight as to what you could potentially bring to their organizations if they would reach out to you with an inquiry?

If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe perhaps to do an interview such as this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…

Folks, technology is here to stay. What you may have thought as “top shelf technology” three years ago – well, today – it’s possibly obsolete. You need to adapt to the times to stay competitive with (if not ahead of) your competition. Amen!

I encourage you to reach out to Kerry L. Bass and his team. Ask a question. Perhaps this will be the first step to the transformation of your business that you’ve been wanting to see. But you will not know unless you reach out. Amen!

What’s the worst that can happen?  You talk for a few minutes with Kerry Bass and decide it’s not worth pursuing at this time.  But, on the flip side, this could be the connection you’ve been praying about!  This podcast, today, could be what God sent your way to give you the open door you’ve been seeking…and Kerry Bass and his team could be God’s answer to your prayers. Amen!

But, again, you will not know one way or the other, unless YOU take action, right now.

Click the links down below. Get in touch with Kerry and find out, one way or the other. I believe, you will be pleasantly surprised. Amen!  Sometimes, all it takes is an outside perspective of things that can provide you with the insight you were looking for all along. 

Drop down into the show notes and get in touch with Kerry Bass right now.

Kerry, thank you again for taking the time to join us today. I do appreciate it.

Folks, that is all the time we have for today. For Kerry L. Bass and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!
