Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

A major goal of managers was to improve productivity of new car salespeople.
To do that, however, they had to overcome the obstacle of finding car salesmen
and women who actually enjoyed the job. That required more information.
To ensure that managers understand the PXT and use it correctly, Robin Eichert,
the owner of PeopleSense Consulting, LLC and a Strategic Business Partner with
Profiles International, travels to the auto group’s office once or twice a year. She

A major benefit of ProfileXT® is that when organizations use it correctly,
they will inevitably hire people who best fit the job. Before using the PXT,

in sales “Sometimes you are desperate for a person,” the executive said. “And
sometimes it’s hard to find someone who wants to sell cars. Without a process
in place, if our managers liked the person in the interview, they said, ‘Let’s
hire this person and get them in.’ We all know that’s not a good way to hire
somebody.” So executives insisted they use the assessment, forcing managers
to take a closer look at job candidates.
Before that, they had already used the PXT to assess every person working to
establish a company benchmark.
The auto group realized these benefits:
• Custom markers. “We used our own people who were performing the job
well to set the benchmarks,” the executive said.

6. • Employee buy-in. Although workers were wary of the process at first, the management team now embraces the
process.
• A thoughtful and thorough hiring process. This forces managers to take a close look at job candidates.
• Aid in selecting appropriate people to interview. “When we do advertise for positions and receive a deluge of
applicants, the assessment helps narrow the field to the most appropriate candidates.”
• Efficiency. With four new car dealerships and one used car center as well as the corporate office, applicants used to
travel to the location with the job opening as the first step. Now, HR workers call applicants to the corporate office to
take the PXT, the manager reviews the results, then he or she calls in the applicants for an interview. This bases the
selection process on more than resumes and appearance.
Scheduling every worker to take the PXT was somewhat complicated. “A lot of employees were scared because they
thought they had to pass a test. Even top-level managers were leery. But once people got involved in it, the employees
had a lot of fun sharing some of their results. Even though many of us took the assessment nearly eight years ago, it is not
uncommon to hear employees still joking with one another about their scores. For example, one employee may say to
another as an explanation for a particular behavior, ‘Well, you are a one in sociability.’ This says to me that the assessment
has become ingrained in our corporate culture,” said the executive.
The PXT benchmark for the salesperson’s Job Match Performance Model, set at 80 percent, has helped high-level
managers realize which traits are important. They include good verbal reasoning and high manageability. Managers
learned that the most successful salespeople rank high in both areas. The company’s sales process is very structured and
all salespeople receive formal training on how to follow the “steps to the sale.” The higher manageability score indicates
an employee who will accept that structure and work within the rules. Those employees scoring high in verbal reasoning
have shown that they are more proficient at extracting personal information during conversations with their customers.
Managers use the benchmark as one third of the hiring equation. “We are not hard and fast on 80 percent, although we
would like to see it there. The interview, reference checks and the assessment are the three things we rely on.” This means
if an applicant scores lower than 80 percent but managers feel the interview and reference checks are strong enough,
they still look favorably on a candidate. “And if someone is falling out of the benchmark in an area that is not critical to the
position, we would overlook that as well.”
The company has also used other Profiles assessments as necessary:
• Step One Survey II® to focus on employees’ overall work ethic
• Profiles Managerial Fit™ to help managers and employees with personality or communication issues
• Profiles Sales Assessment™, for salespeople only, to determine how they will perform in the sales cycle
• CheckPoint 360°™, which allows managers to see how they are perceived by employees, colleagues and higher-ups.
