Growth by Focus

Some days, you work all day and nothing seems to get done.   

Other days, many things seem to finish themselves in rapid succession.

Today was a day of completions.

Among other things, our negotiations for the sale of our Advanced Control business came to a conclusion. 

This means increased focus for PAS.  And increased focus means more growth.

You may recall that PAS had four business areas of interest:

>> Advanced Control & Optimization

>> Critical Condition / Alarm Management

>> Automation Asset Management

>> DCS Configuration Services

Now we have three.

It’s all about focus.  As PAS Founder & CEO stated in the press release discussing the deal:

"…we have made a strategic move that will sharpen our focus and strengthen our growth…. and our focus is to repeat our 2006 growth rate of 100%+ in the businesses where we hold significant first-to-market advantages."

So this is great news for PAS and its customers. 

For where there is focus, the success is even greater…  In fact, I wrote a blog about that about a year ago – just when we were going through our strategic thinking for 2006.

A co-worker once told me that “the execution time for any idea is directly proportional to the square of the number of people involved”. 

He was right.

It’s just too bad for us that the crowd was so big on this deal…

No matter… the deal is done, the money in the bank, and 2007 kicked off.

It is now surely going to be a good year all around.

Stay tuned, or better yet, join us!
