The Formula for Success

Formula for success
Attitudes & Skills & Knowledge directed by Goals within the framework of effective Processes, delivers Positive Behavior Change which yields Improved Results both organizationally and personally.

IR

The first thing we look for is how our clients define success. We start out by asking what actual improved results (IR) our clients want to achieve in their organization or in their personal lives and how that will be tracked and measured. The importance of a thoughtful definition of success is that it provides a target toward which everyone can aim. Everything else we do is specifically geared around achieving those results.

PBC

If that target is different than where you are today, then you must do something differently. PBC represents positive behavior change. A definition of insanity is to do the things that you’ve always done, but to expect different outcomes.

G

G represents goals. Doesn’t it make sense that if people had goals to focus their energy on, it would make it easier to change their behavior in a way that can be sustained? Goal setting is the tool that generates the activity necessary to turn ideas into strategy, strategy into plans, and plans into reality.

S+K

S+K represent the skills needed (the how to do something) and the knowledge needed (the where and when to do something). Our process focuses on development of behavioral management skills, meaningful communications, influencing or selling skills, problem solving, decision making, organizing time, disciplining, developing subordinates, delegating authority, motivating others, appraising performance, etc. The reason why we put these skills in our programs is that better than 50% of any manager’s job involves using these skills.

A

The A stands for attitude (the want to). Our approach, Management by Commitment, is a result-oriented philosophy that involves first developing a goal-oriented attitude among people. Attitude is more of a multiplier of skills and knowledge that will directly influence the goals they set and achieve. They will directly determine in many cases whether they turn a problem into an opportunity, or succumb to it; whether they behave in ways that benefit the entire organization or maintain fiefdoms; whether they expand the client base and services provided or allow atrophy to set in; whether they diligently look for continuous improvement, or remain satisfied with the status quo.

P

Attitudes, Skills, Knowledge and Goals are raised to the power of “p” or process. We help our clients effectively implement continuous improvement into the fabric of day-to-day business. Our customized approach allows our clients to implement quality initiatives and take non-value added steps out of their processes.
