Alignment

High performers can deliver 400% more productivity than

the average performer.

633,263 researchers, entertainers,

politicians and athletes were reviewed. Results were published in 2012 in the

Journal of Personnel Psychology.

High performers can deliver 400% more productivity.

Which level of productivity would you rather work with?

The challenge is that most organizations are designed to work with average performers, not high performers.

Think about things like bonuses & feedback.

KPMG found that 73% of high performing companies

had no cap on bonus pay.

81% of low-performing

companies had bonus caps.

High performers want feedback – more than

once a year.

SAP & Oxford found that over 50% of those interviewed (2800) didn’t receive the amount of feedback

they wanted.

It’s an issue of ALIGNMENT

The employment relationship is just one place where we see

poor alignment between goals & processes.

Let’s talk about simple partnerships

One of the simplest of all business relationships is that of a referral.

The objectives are clear.

So success should be a given!

Crowd Favorite has a partnership with

WP Site Care

If they bring us a large project

what do you think we do when the project ends?

I’m an affiliate for many WordPress products & services.

Affiliate programs are another

simple relationship where incentives should be aligned.

The partner relationship is another place where we see

poor alignment between goals & processes.

Mergers Acquisitions

Strategic Partnerships

Most of these kinds of relationships fail even before they get started.

Disney &

Starbucks

They’re both really particular about a lot of things.

It’s a value they share.

Mergers & Acquisitions Strategic Partnerships

Fail because •  lack of management capacity •  values & culture mismatch •  not enough attention to integration •  true costs weren’t evaluated •  everyone moves too fast

It’s an issue of ALIGNMENT

A strategic relationship is another place where we see

poor alignment between goals & processes.
