STRATEGY, TOOLS, & INSPIRATION FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

If you’ve found me, chances are you are about to embark on some form of organizational transformation.  Your organization “works.”  Clients and team members get what they need. But something has changed, needs to change, or is ready to evolve to keep the organization working at its greatest potential.

Some people call this “strategic planning.”   And while the act of planning itself is valuable,  the traditional thinking leaves out two critical concepts:

• inspiration is more powerful than management (or engagement)

• planning does not equal action 

Optimize Program puts team culture at the center of your strategic planning. It builds on the neuroscience behind the five drivers of team performance,* an assessment tool for your team’s effectiveness in each of the five drivers of performance, and customized tools to give your team the skills to evolve and thrive.

*The Five Drivers of Team Performance:

1. Shared Purpose and Meaning. The organization has an inspiring purpose; team members feel their work matters and is aligned with their personal goals.

2. Confidence & Trust. Team members are the right people for the right roles; things get done consistently and at a high bar for excellence.

3. Distributed Influence. People understand their roles, the rules, and where and when those can be moved.

4. Clear Goals & Benchmarks. There is a shared vision of what success looks like; people have a say in how the work gets done.

5. Care + Accountability. People grow and thrive because feedback is regularly shared, risks are encouraged, and confrontation happens in brain-friendly ways.
