At BioZyme\u00ae, values are a critical component of our identity, decision-making processes and overall success. The BioZyme values have helped us create a positive and purpose-driven work environment for over 60 years. For many of these 60 years, BioZyme had three values. These included Research, Innovation and Outreach or Giving Back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why these values? Because they are who we areand why we exist. The value of Research ensures our products have an undeniable impact on the animals our customers work so hard to produce and love. Innovation encourages creativity, risk-taking and learning. Giving back is a value of high importance because we believe we have a responsibility to contribute to the well being of the broader community. These three values have served BioZyme well for a very long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a push and pull relationship between staying true to your values and allowing yourself to change and progress. After all, one of our values is innovation, which is often synonymous with some type of change. Growth, at any level, requires change. When an entity grows, it must change. Think of children as they progress through the stages of infant, toddler, teenager, adult \u2013 or a calf from newborn to weaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, how do you change but stay true to your values?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The answer, we\u2019ve found, is a one-degree change. The one-degree change feels slight; after all, it is just one tiny little degree. Yet, a one-degree change can be extremely powerful. As an example, prior to fancy avionics, pilots, especially in the military, were often taught about the 1-to-60 rule. Basically, it means that a one-degree off-set will put you off one mile from your intended destination at 60 miles from start. Traveling 600 miles? You\u2019ll be 10 miles from where you thought. Small changes (good or bad) can make a big difference in outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, in 2024, BioZyme\u2019s commitment remains deeply rooted in our values, as well as to growth. Growth of our business, growth of our dealers, growth of our outreach. This growth will require many one-degree changes. We are excited to present these to you, our dealers, throughout the year as we whole heartedly believe they will also contribute to your growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few of our own examples to illustrate the concept:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n – The integration of Vita Charge products into Sure Champ and VitaFerm that began in January. This is one-degree change (only the brand name\/look of the product) that we believe is already having an impact. We launched the \u201cnew look\u201d at National Western Stock Show in Denver with great feedback and many comments about folks being excited to get their hands on the VitaFerm Cattle Drench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – The launch of VitaFerm ONE in February. To say this is just a ONE-degree change (pun intended) feels a bit odd to those of us that have worked extensively on it for nearly a year, but all in all it is just a small change to open a BIG door of opportunity to have a product to position as a year-round mineral. And that\u2019s what one-degree changes are all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you know us very well, you know we aren\u2019t going to stop there. The excitement we have for some of the one-degree changes we are developing for this year is extensive. The opportunities have never felt bigger. And for that we are very thankful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
