Building a High Performance Organization

Acclaimed author of “Good to Great” Jim Collins presented convincing evidence that the most important component of building and sustaining a high performance organization is the ability to ‘get the right people on the bus...get the wrong people off the bus and get the right people in the right seats’. While we agree with Collins’ argument, we believe it is only the beginning. Organizations looking for long term sustainable high performance need to keep measuring and developing the individuals and teams on consistent basis.

We believe that in the highly competitive business environment it is crucial to develop a sense of ‘team’ that fosters trust, respect, communication, and camaraderie. These are the key building blocks to a highly productive culture that enable the company’s most important asset, its people, to perform at their full potential and effectiveness – long term. To accomplish this goal, we focus on three key areas of expertise: Behavioral/Behavioral Assessment and Job Position Profiling, Executive Coaching, and Team Coaching.

  • High turnover in certain positions
  • Succession and strategic planning
  • Developing shared leadership
  • Defining roles and responsibilities
  • Difficulty attracting, retaining and promoting the ‘right’ people
  • Teams and/or individuals not achieving their potential
  • Identifying future leaders
  • Defining roles and responsibilities

Behavioral / Behavioral Assessment and Job Position Profiling

Our assessment tools provide insightful and new understanding of people, the kind of work they will be motivated to do, and their potential for increased productivity and responsibility. It helps organizations make sound and smart decisions about people - converging their best interests with the organization’s needs.

Organizational Performance Pro.file (OPP)

OPP is a validated instrument designed to measure the seven most important career and work-related characteristics in adults. Individuals can complete an OPP Survey© in approximately 15 minutes on-line. A sophisticated software analysis provides graphical and text reports describing an employee’s or applicant’s Traits and Adjusted Job Behaviors.

Job Performance Pro.file (JPP)

One of the most difficult challenges in recruitment and promotion initiatives is clearly and specifically clarifying and agreeing on the behaviors necessary for high performance in any position. JPP is a Questionnaire designed to help organizations accurately define the most effective behaviors necessary for high performance based on their job descriptions and organization culture. It enables managers and human resource professionals to create job behavioral models that can be compared to individual’s profiles for: screening, recruitment, promotion, career development, coaching, and succession planning initiatives.

Executive Coaching

Our Executive Coaching model is powerful and effective. It first explores the individual’s natural performance orientation and compares that to the behaviors required with role they are currently in. We analyze potential barriers to performance and deploy a proprietary 360 Degree Assessment Process to create a customized coaching plan to improve performance, at any level of the organization. As credentialed members of International Coach Federation we subscribe to their definition of coaching: “Professional coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.”

Team Coaching

One of the most powerful predictors of sustainable high performance is how an organization creates and develops the sense of teaming. The Team Diagnostic Assessment™ Process is a powerful assessment tool and coaching methodology that provides insight into the current performance of a team with respect to productivity and positivity. It maps out 14 core dimensions of the team and provides a road map to create sustainable high performance.
