• Create more effective processes - whether in sales, production, finance or HR - with more predictable outcomes
• Learn to get to the root of process and performance problems
• Learn to eliminate the seven wastes from all your operations
• Improve quality using proven methods that guarantee progressively better results
• Learn to choose effective metrics to drive short and long term performance
• Clarify goals and targets for effective execution
• Tap into the creative resources within your workforce to obtain exponential improvements

USE THESE TOOLS TO LEAPFROG AHEAD OF COMPETITION!

The 2000 Percent Solution Method:
An extremely powerful and broadly applicable 8-step method for creating highly leveraged and innovative solutions. These solutions enable you to achieve your usual results by applying only 1/20th of the usual effort, or conversely achieve 20 times your usual results for the same effort! The 2000 Percent Solution Method was developed by Don Mitchell and Carol Coles of Mitchell & Company, and was strongly endorsed by the late management sage, Peter F. Drucker. Read more...

Lean Methodologies:
These combination of methodolgies are eliminate all waste and non-value added activities in work processes. Their successful application lead to high speed, low cost operations. Read more...

Six-Sigma:
First introduced by Motorola, and popularised by Jack Welch of GE, six sigma extends the concept of Total Quality Management by using wide array of statistical and non-statistical tools to minimise variations and eliminate defects in product and service offerings. We apply the well known Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control sequence in facilitating the execution clients' six sigma projects. Read more...

Human Performance Systems:
We recognise that individual performance can only be effectively enhanced if we take a systems approach. This means that we recognise, and help you improve all the factors that make up the human performance system and thus affect performance using the most appropriate interventions. This is important because of the six factors that affect employee performance, only two (individual capacity and knowledge/skill) relate directly to the employee. The other four (performance specifications, task support, consequences and feedback) relate to work conditions created by management. Thus training in its various forms may not always be the correct response to employee performance issues. Read more...



             Serious Play

          A major reason employees fail at new roles and unfamiliar assignments is because they have never done it before! Serious Play provides games and simulations for helping individual managers and teams familiarise themselves with their total enterprise, specific functions, management concepts or roles. They have the opportunity to face challenges and work out solutions to problems in a low-risk and non-threatening environment. The learned behaviours can then be applied to real life situations at the workplace.

By taking advantage of our Serious Play offerings you can:

• Speed up the learning curve required by managers facing new and unfamiliar job challenges
• Develop a repertoire of approaches and solutions to management problems
• Develop key management skills and competencies in your people
• Ease the process of acquiring knowledge and skills in difficult or sensitive topics
• Learn a holistic and cross-functional approach to decision making
• Deepen your appreciation of business fundamentals in strategic planning, competitive analysis, market positioning and financials

USE THESE GAMES TO GAIN DEEP MANAGEMENT INSIGHTS

Developed by Clark Aldrich and his team at SimuLearn Inc, this leadership training simulation won the American Society for Training and Development award as the best online training product.
