"In farming and leadership this rule is the same. You can't force growth; those factors are beyond your control. But to be successful you must remove any obstacles to growth that you can."

The healthy organization is constantly anticipating and adapting to the challenges and opportunities in the environment. The most productive and profitable companies stay ahead of the curve by applying these same continuous improvement expectations to the team members and people systems. They know that the soft stuff is the hard stuff.
P2 has developed a system of assessment, coaching, and team building facilitation & training to develop and maintain healthy and adaptive people systems. We utilize a variety of powerful, practical, and reliable measurement tools that provide hard data to planning and deployment of improvement in an area that has been mislabeled the soft stuff. We speak with data to improve individual, team, board, or organization-wide performance.
All tools and methodologies may be used individually or as an integrated system:
Individual Leadership Development
To enhance performance in the current assignment or prepare for the next one we assess, coach, and develop an action plan. Accountability for the plan is customized to align with the company's performance evaluation system. Assessment tools include work simulation, critical thinking ability, 360O feedback, and prescriptive leadership effectiveness measures with comparison to a vast database of successful managers.
Team Development
High Performance Work Teams
This model was deployed most successfully at Toyota and Saturn to increase ownership behavior at the team level. Teams learn how to work as a creative, disciplined, and productive business unit and take responsibility for safety, productivity and improvement in their area. The practice has proven valuable for crews on the production floor as well as adjunct problem solving and business development teams.
Leadership Team Effectiveness
Every team has its own personality and skill set. We often begin by providing data to the team that will help them to improve communication, decision making, conflict management, and change management. We also utilize tools that measure the effectiveness of the team with data driven direction for improving through changes in rules of engagement, membership, or training. Finally, we offer a leadership 360o feedback measure that works in concert with the organizational culture assessment for clarity and speed of improvement.
Organization Culture Assessment
Don't flinch at the word culture; it's just the formal and informal ways we get things done. As a member of the Denison Consulting Network P2 benchmarks companies against profitable business worldwide. The research shows a powerful correlation between higher scores and higher profit. Twelve dimensions are surveyed in the four categories of business health; Adaptability to the market, mission tied to measureable goals, consistency built on structure, and team involvement. Action plans based on survey data are developed and abbreviated follow up surveys measure progress toward strategic goals. For further information on this tool download Denison whitepaper.
More color means more profit.
