ONE-DAY INTENSIVES

According to Kaplan and Norton, “on average, 95% of a company’s employees are unaware of or do not understand, its strategy. If the employees who are closest to customers . . . are unaware of the strategy, they surely cannot help the organization implement it effectively.”

Part of this disconnect is caused when employees are unclear about the company’s vision and guiding principles… when success is defined by ineffective goals and measures… and when messaging is inconsistent with the strategy. And a powerful, yet a largely unrecognized contributor to this disconnect can be business practices and policies if they are unintentionally structured in opposition to the vision.

The one-day intensives will help chart a course to join the 5%.

Business Assessment

A one-day business assessment highlighting areas of alignment or misaligned.
By surveying employees and leaders, and by auditing business practices against the company’s vision and guidelines, you’ll gain perspective on current performance and gain insight into areas for improvement.

What you’ll get from the assessment:

  • an understanding of which business practices are in that do not align with the company vision
  • an understanding of employee perception of the state of the business
  • reassurance that an outside perspective provides
  • comfort knowing that you have recommendations to propel your company forward

Here’s what’s included:

  1. An assessment preview including its objective, high-level agenda, and expectations.
  2. Administration and analysis of a company-wide survey employee.
  3. A prep worksheet to outlining any required advance work.
  4. A one-day assessment … performed either onsite or via video conference.
  5. A report detailing the results of the assessment.
  6. One 90-minute virtual session to review the report and discuss recommended next steps.
