  • Divide into small groups to assess your organization’s performance on this element.
  • Get back together and share your findings with the larger group.

High Performance Assessment The program can be delivered in a modularized format (2 1/2-to-3 hour sessions spaced over time) or in a 2-to-2 1/2 day format.

It usually involves not only the leaders of the organization but also other key people representing a cross-section of all employees.

It is becoming more and more difficult for organizations to survive in today’s world: 40% of all new businesses fail by the end of the first year; only 12% survive five years; and 2 to 3 % survive 10 years.

Unfortunately, most of the responses to the challenges companies face today are ineffective. They attack symptoms while leaving intact the root causes of organizational ineffectiveness.

Now, by attending this program, you can learn principles and methodologies that will enable you to achieve outstanding and sustainable results within your organization.

  • The strategy and direction of the organization are clear and guide day to day actions and decision-making
  • Members of the organization understand the business and are committed to getting results
  • People govern themselves by shared values and guiding principles rather than rigid policies
  • People are organized, when possible, into self-managing teams
  • Processes are streamlined and systems aligned to support the strategy and philosophy of the business
  • The role of management changes from controlling workers to creating an environment in which people can be most effective
