2012 was the best year in the firm's history. Strategic Discipline's focus on priorities, meetings and metrics made a significant the difference in our ability to achieve our targets. Scott Ford, Cornerstone Wealth Management Group ~ Hagerstown, MD The difference we've seen compared to other business development processes within a very short period of time, in some cases within days or even hours is you end up with actual work product, deliverable plans and agendas that help. Scott Bennett, Nations Financial Group ~ Cedar Rapids, IA Doug's Four Decisions Workshop has allowed our company
to focus on our top priorities for the year. With the use of the 1 page
strategic plan, company and individual dashboards we are better able to
track performance and measure results. For the first time we have a clear
company goal with everyone working towards that common goal. We are
extremely excited to continue working with Doug in the future. Greg Mercurio ~ IFTI Independent Floor Testing & Inspection, Inc, Concord, CA Daily Huddles are by far the best thing we've learned. Lots of our operations decisions have been made through the use of the daily huddle process. Having four daily huddles each day is a pain, yet it's the most productive and best thing that's happened to me as a manager. Burges Kerawalla ~ Autopia Car Wash, Fremont, CA Just wanted to let you know our first Supper Huddle
was a huge success!! Your help certainly was beneficial in its success!!
Thanks again for all of your help!!!. Tyna, Charge Team ~ JPMA In 2013, in addition to growing sales dollars and market share, we cut our return beer rate (ROR) by over 35%. Nearly $600,000 less beer was double handled and brought back to the warehouse by your efforts. This improvement drove the revenue and gross margin numbers up, as well as helped considerably in reducing warehouse, merchandising, and delivery costs.

We continue sharing the Gazelles Growth Tools that Positioning Systems and Gazelles coaches provide for our customers on Execution, one of the Four Decisions your company needs to get right or risk leaving significant revenues, profits, and time on the table. A reminder that these four decisions are: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash.
Topics: Customer Feedback, Net Promoter Score, Employee Feedback, Four Decisions, Execution, Critical Numbers
Most businesses have some solid metrics in place to monitor their Process/Productivity Drivers. Productivity/Process Drivers include Make/Buy, Sell, and Recordkeeping. This blog will focus on Process/Productivity Drivers and the need to set Critical Numbers to balance this driver against your People/Relationship Drivers in your business.
Topics: Process/Productivity Drivers, People/Relationship Drivers, key performance indicators, Critical Numbers
Priorities are essential to create alignment and initiate growth for your business. You need to establish One Thing as the most important priority for the quarter and the year. However you must realize that in doing this step you need to also create a balancing critical number. Otherwise your business will get out of proportion. “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy” is a good quote to remember. All focus on productivity and no focus on relationships (or vice versa) can make your business operate as if rolling on 4 flat tires. Despite achieving success in one area the business fails to achieve significant progress.
Topics: One Thing, Process/Productivity Drivers, People/Relationship Drivers, priorities, Metric Balance, Critical Numbers
