Differentiators

A global health crisis and increasing levels of civil unrest are changing the way that the citizens of the world approach their daily lives, from how and where they work to how they interact socially and consume information and entertainment.

Organizations who continue doing business in the same way they have always done it are going to be left behind in a world were innovation is now being measured in days to market as opposed to years. Chances are that your organization has the people it needs to solve problems but, do you have the tools to pull those solutions out of them?

The examples below are customized approaches that build on the requirements of our clients to create specialized solutions that exceed their needs.

Great organizations are born of great people, they just need to be set free again. 


Systems Thinking for Human Performance

Systems make sense. At the basic level, there is an input, a conversion, and an output, and we see systems all around us. They are found in nature -- think of root systems of plants. We can build them to engineer products or specific outcomes -- think of Rube Goldberg’s imaginative monstrosities. They all -- big or small, natural or built -- show that actions cause reactions that together create a chain of events, a series of moments across time that methodically, deliberately change things. They make sense, and, when studied, help us make sense of our world.

But what happens when the same systems thinking that goes into these external processes are applied to our own lives? What happens when we start approaching human behavior and relationships as systems, our every interaction as a potential moment of conversion sparking a reaction and influencing the next step along the chain?

Do you know how to define and identify systems in your personal and professional life, and how thinking at a systems level can empower you to perform at a level of increased impact, influence, and purpose? 


Strategic Innovation

Just because something is innovative, imaginative or disruptive does not necessarily mean that it is evolutionary. If you want to separate yourself from your competition or redefine world-class, your next transformation must qualify as an “I.D.E.A.” (Innovative, Disruptive, Evolutionary, and Atypical), and therefore, it must move your organization to a new level in the value it provides internally, externally, and peripherally.

Are you spending time and money just to keep up with the times or are you investing in strategic innovation that separates you from your competition?


N-LITE (Next Level ID Tracking Engine)

Individual variables play different roles in Human Performance. When accounted for, these variables can be determining factors for future capabilities assessments or guidelines for the development and duration of training required for an individual.  The Talent Identification Model for Human Performance Optimization has been developed to identify talent and track current competencies.

N-LITE is a cloud-based tool to help coaches and managers facilitate realize the benefits of the Talent Identification Model for Human Performance Optimization to identify talent and track current competencies.

Do you know the strengths of your everyone on your team?  Do you know where they can improve?  Could they provide more value in a different position?  Wouldn't it be great to know?


Supply Chain Optimization

Purchasing and Supply Chain Management (PSCM) has become an increasingly important topic to senior managers. Supply Chain Optimization allows for increased flexibility and predictability while enhancing customer service.  David Allway is the author of the Supply Chain LSS Deployment Handbook which integrates the use of Supply-Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Module with Lean and Six Sigma to merge supply chain industry standards with the effectiveness and efficiency of Lean and Six Sigma.

Are you continually spending money on IT systems and automation and your Purchasing and Supply Chain Management issues are not getting resolved? 

It is probably time to look at your people and processes to ensure that you are doing the right things in the right way before you invest any more money in technological "Silver Bullets".
