Work transformed.™
In order to build strong foundations for performance, productivity, and customer service excellence, employees must become skilled at developing and utilizing systems. The Result of Note (TM) training session provides all team members with the knowledge of why and how to implement systems that will stand the test of time, empowering them to participate more actively in improving personal productivity and business performance. The end result? Less stress, more productivity, higher levels of quality and service, and a healthier bottom line.
A Result of Note™ is defined as any system, habit or ritual that once implemented and committed to seldom, if ever, has to be revisited. While many entrepreneurs recognize the value of systems in enhancing efficiency, productivity, performance and profitability in their business, they run into two obstacles:
- Employees are seldom as passionate about creating systems as the owner is. This leads to an attempt at top-down systems implementation and decreases effectiveness because employees feel that the systems are forced upon them.
- The creators of systems seldom step back far enough to look at the big picture in building their systems. This leads to the creation of “Band-Aid” systems that are not sustainable.
This training session gives participants the opportunity to experience the benefits of applying the Result of Note methodology first in their own organization to identify key systems optimization priorities. As the Result of Note program is most effective if conducted with teams on an annual basis, it makes sense to develop these skills internally with key managers in the organization. For this reason, once participants have experienced the benefits themselves, the second part of the training provides them with the skills, knowledge and supported application time they need to be able to confidently facilitate this program with their teams.
