Delivering Growth
In business, the flywheel concept is used as a metaphor for creating self-reinforcing loops of positive momentum. It was popularised by Jim Collins in his book “Good to Great.”
Liberating the potential people through PSL training will help you to drive growth.
Moving From One-Dimensional Thinking
You can hear this when employees say "I am just a...". or 'I don't have time to...' or...
These are natural human responses, especially when people are frustrated, feeling under pressure, undervalued or demotivated.
One-dimensional thinking means- I can only ..
Two-dimensional thinking means - I can also ...
Three-dimensional thinking means - We can ...
Frontline and back-office staff are the heroes of any business. Moving teams from one-dimensional thinking to 2, 3 and 4 dimensional thinking and beyond will continuously unleash potential and opportunities for growth.
Pay-off for our clients and their people
The overwhelming consensus from the attendees has been that the training delivers valuable tools, and people skills.
“The course was extremely well structured... it has given me new skills that I can readily use in both my personal and business life... definitely a course that has left a lasting impression.”“The training has increased my confidence to handle tricky situations or questions that I may not have immediate answers to. The ability to handle these issues will compliment an engineer’s technical knowledge and promote an extremely professional face to the customer.”
A complaint becoming an opportunity
An engineer responds immediately to an urgent customer need. The haste and intent to resolve the issue as fast as possible results in a process oversight, leading to a customer complaint. The engineer’s willingness to review what happened enabled a process improvement and deeper understanding of customer needs and expectations. A problem becoming an opportunity.
Winning a $25M deal
In the development phase of a significant proposal, the models we supplied were instrumental in testing the value proposition. This assistance allowed the team to enhance the proposal while maintaining its integrity and demonstrating value that precisely met the
customer’s requirements. The outcome was improved teamwork and a contribution to winning a large sale.
Protecting your assets in people
“Your encouragement and support have not only enhanced my understanding of customer relations but have also inspired me to apply these skills in my professional life. Thank you once again for your commitment to our growth and development”.
