The Best Practice Disciplines of Great Companies
In my presentation I will first have participants take the "Making the Grade" assessment which will inform participants on how their companies stack up against the best practice disciplines of great companies. After the assessment I will then walk through each of the best practice disciplines and show them how to use tools that will enable participants to learn, adopt and master the best practice disciplines of great companies. The best practices are in the following categories:
- -Execution
- -Accountability
- -Vision/Differentiated Business Model
- -Right People/Right Seats
- -Organizational Structure
- -Scorecard and KPI's
- - Processes
The idea behind learning, adopting and mastering the best practices of great companies is so that participant companies can develop a highly differentiated business model and build the foundation to scale.
