End-State Vision

Global Communications has become a leader in the telecom industry. Our growth has increased and we are continually pushing the envelope with our innovative telecom solutions. Aligning ourselves with other organizations so we could offer technology that was once out of our reach was a risk that proved to be the right move. We have now become a turnkey solution for small and large businesses. Our international presence has changed our structure for the good and increased our profit margins. With this increase in profit the technology call centers that we had originally closed in the states have been reopened along with several more. Our staff has grown and we have been able to increase the pay, benefits and overall moral of our employees. The once bleak future we were looking out is no more. The employees who stuck with Global Communications during the tough years are now sharing in its success. Because of the risks we took in the beginning, Global Communication is now reaping the reward along with it employees. Truly, truly, truly "our edge is people" motto is alive and well.

Gap Analysis

To keep up with the industry Global Communication has to go out of its comfort level and expand services while lowering its rates. This will not be easy to do because the end goal will be to increase the profit margin of the company but to do that a major reconstruction will have to take place within the organization. The reward out ways the risk because as of now Global Communications is slipping in the industry.
