Our Consulting Philosophy:• Not every problem is a nail- We are a consulting firm who trains, not a training firm who consults• Focus on results, not activity• We commit- Defined objective- Incentive to achieve the desired outcome
Our goal for this engagement…
Conventional wisdom versus our take on vulnerability assessment – segmentation, how many versus who (ITMS)No “average” employee“Mushy middle”Influential net detractorsPersuadableObsess about WHO, not HOW MANYMultiple dimensions
Vulnerability assessment – your supervisors can’t tell you the truthIf there is a trust issue, managers may not tell internal management the truthEmployees and supervisors will tell an outsider more than they’ll reveal to an insider
Our Training Philosophy:Active Interval Trainingalso graduated intervals or spaced repetitionEverybody thinks they know how to run, but competitive runners know they must train and rest to achieve peak performanceMaximizes adult learning principles- Trigger words reinforce learningKey focus is “doing”- Shrink “knowing-doing” gap- Repetition, implementing in “real world”
Now we’re switching to tactics…OODA loop concept was developed by a fighter pilot named John Boyd, and became a driving force behind Air Force fighter plane design, fighter pilot training, etc.Was a key in the development of “maneuver warfare” (Norman Schwarzkopf’s famous “left hook” in the first Gulf War).The idea is that on the battlefield, or in an aerial dogfight, each opponent has a finite limit of factors that he can observe during the conflict.
We are not academics, we are practitioners. We have honed our training from the lessons learned in the trenches!
