Maintaining a Sustained Competitive Advantage

"History has watched the crux of competitive advantages and a company’s competitive value differential migrate from price to quality to service and now "Workforce Performance Capability Levels" that create transformational leaders, an overachiever mind set and exceptional customer experiences at every touch point. – Julie White, Ph.D.

Creating a "Sustainable Competitive Advantage"

The sole course for consistently maintaining sustained overachievement and competing on a competitive must-win mentality centers on becoming a “High Performing Organization.

A High Performing Organization continually maximizes its business and financial value with every customer they serve.

The Foundation of a High Performing Company is a High Performance Culture:

  • A High Performance Culture™ - HPC - is corner stoned by an overachiever performance capable workforce supply chain - 80% A+B performers. These A+B performers include every level of management and their team members.
  • These extremely performance capable A+B performers are inclined to remove all waste in every process and poor work behavior used by the workforce supply chain (all managers and their team members) – the result is significant improvements in productivity, the overachievement of all business objectives and a "Highly Engaged Workforce".

Roadblocks

A critical fact that has to be factored into this overachievement performance paradigm is every workforce supply chain is only as strong as its weakest links!

Since every team’s performance and results orientation is tied and gated by the "80/20 Performance Rule" - only 20% of the workforce are A+B producers and the other 80% are average (C), below average (C-) and poor (D) performers - then logic dictates - there are too many weak links within a company's workforce supply chain that negatively affect day to day business outcomes.

These weak links severely denigrate an organization and its team's performance capability levels and its ability to maximize the business and financial value that is required by their customers.

Unfortunately, the weak links also diminish their mandated competitive stance while reducing overall gross margins and monthly revenue/profit streams.

The above data is evidenced by the up and down customer satisfaction scores, the lack of execution alignment, the unnecessary day to day performance issues that suppress productivity and the performance gap of what is expected and what is delivered.

Solution

Significantly improving and maintaining very high workforce performance capability level means - the new normal will be an overachiever state that is also in sync with the required customer centric paradigm.

This new path will transition your teams at every management level from the 80/20 Rule - 20% A+B performers - to the 20/80 Principle - where 80% of all your workforce supply chain become A+B performers.

Think about the increased financial and business impact - 80% A+B performers - will have on your organization and the financial implications it will have on your day to day operations.

Outcomes

  • Consistent overachievement of your monthly revenue plans and business objectives
  • Quarterly increases in market share
  • The closure of the gap of what is expected and what is delivered
  • Ability to eliminate every poor performance behavior within your daily workforce production that chokes productivity and daily results
  • Transformation of current customer satisfaction scores into daily exceptional customer experiences at every touch point

Simply, A+B performers' nature is to consistently excel while mitigating and then eliminating every aspect of waste.
