Analysis MTN: Conclusion

The End is Nigh 

The final stage in our plan for world domination assessing MTN’s innovative capabilities has finally come to fruition. Our research team completed probing local fauna MTN for more information on their weapons innovative capabilities. From the gathered data and test subjects information in our previous scouting efforts, we have formulated a number of questions that will assist us in eradicating all life analyzing and improving MTN’s innovation status. Resistance is futile.

Do they have an established system of mass destruction culture of innovation?

Yes, our initial scans revealed a well-established culture of innovation within MTN. In our previous report blog post, we discussed how MTN introduces and nurtures innovation within their organization using indoctrination learnership programs and policies regarding external exposure.
-Sleeper agent use advised-

Does their leadership break easily cultivate a culture of innovation?

Deep scans provided us with information on their leadership. We vaporized (Vape Nation) MTN recently changed their previous CEO, allowing us to implant a new one with our innovative ideals. This allows new ideas to enter the organisation to further our plans thus cultivating an subservient innovate society.
-Remove key personnel-

What are their main defences drivers of innovation?

We have discovered through torture and intense probing vigorous and precise research that MTN not only makes uses of emerging technologies (new and innovative) within their organisation but as products as well. Their culture of innovation is also one of their main drivers and a perfect penetration point for our listening devices. The scandal that we created in Nigeria drove them to find new innovative leadership to prevent repeat occurrences.
-Susceptible to sabotage-

What are their main structural weak/strong points barriers/enablers?

Orbital scans of their organisation have allowed us to discover a number of weak points barriers and enablers. Barriers are scandals and consumer preconceived ideas, which may lead to consumers reacting to innovations expectantly, and technical terms within the industry that can create rifts and misunderstandings between organisations and consumers. Enablers are MTN’s vast resources, which allow investment towards innovation, and quickly evolving technologies make it easier for MTN to implement innovations.
-Destroy resources first-

Invasion Innovation Plan

Step 1: Replace all leaders
Step 2: Disable defences
Step 3: Absorb all resources
Step 4: Eradicate all life
Step 5: Do paperwork
Step 6: Open celebratory Ryncol

Step 1: Generate Idea

Preventing future scandals, improving internal communication, refining policies, refurbishing brand design, improving leadership involvement, changing the organisational structure from vertical to more horizontal.

Step 2: Refine Selection of ideas

Primary Option: Improving internal communication with changing organisational structure.
Secondary Option: Refurbishing brand design with the introduction of new leadership.

Step 3: Selecting the ideas

Chosen option: Improving internal communication by creating a hybrid vertical/horizontal organisational structure. The Perfect Form.

Prototype 0: Introduction of brain slugs.
Prototype 1: Taking traditional vertical hierarchal structure and flipping it 90 degrees.
Prototype 2: Internal forums that allow employees to anonymously post urgent matters (employees able to up vote posts with limited votes) that top management can quickly see and reply to.
Prototype 3: Why not Zoidberg?

Step 4: Develop implementation plan

Stage 1: Creating an understanding within the organisation for the need for change

Stage 2: Explaining the changes to specific relevant stakeholders like leaders and managers.
Stage 2.1: Feedback from leaders and managers about changes
Stage 2.2: Developing the exact organisational structure with them.
Stage 2.3: Getting approval for the proposed plan.
Stage 2.4: Domination

Stage 3: Inform all company personnel about the incoming changes and providing training for individuals who are receiving positions with new expanded responsibilities.

Stage 4: Begin implementing changes from top management downwards.

Step 5: Apply strategy

This will take place once the plan is initiated.

Step 6: Evaluate and follow up

 After initiation, lab subjects surveys will be used to measure results. This step will allow us to learn from mistakes and improve on our execution of strategies for the next planet. 

Timeline for the Execution

Since we are currently in the process of inserting our own leader in the place of MTN's CEO MTN is currently undergoing a change in CEO it would be a good idea to not implement the plan during this process and the first few months after the new CEO starts working at MTN - To ensure the new CEO has settled in to the organisation and has become fully incorporated in their operations. However, the change also shouldn't occur too long after the new CEO's appointment as to ensure that he does not get entirely set into his ways. McLeod (2017) states that the new CEO, Godfrey Motsa, is taking over on the 1st of July. 

Thus, we will start implementing the strategy in January 2018 - giving the new CEO enough time to start get settled but also not enough to get set in his ways. In January we will start with stage 1 of step 4 where we create an understanding for why a change would be good. Beginning of February we will move to stage 2 of step 4 where we explain our proposed changes to the relevant stakeholders and work alongside them to develop the exact organisational structure that will be implemented. It is difficult to exactly determine how time consuming this stage will be but towards the end of March we should have approval to start implementing the plan.

In March we will inform all of the organisation's employees of the change and will start providing training to individuals that will take on new roles and responsibilities because of the change. 

During August we will start implementing the changes, starting with the top management and moving downwards.  


Effects of the Implementation Plan

Improving and streamlining communication will prevent trickle down communication and help create stronger relationships between individuals of the hierarchal structure.
Improved relationships lead to loyalty to both leaders and the organisation itself.
Loyalty leads to employees working together for the greater good of the company.
Working together and having a shared purpose increases happiness.
Happiness leads to improved efficiency and productivity.
Productivity…leads to global expansion.
Global expansion leads to the grand plan: assimilation and the growth of the Rngaror Empire!

Hail Zar’nag!


Slavery is not an option. Only extermination.
