Tom Shaw, President, LOOP LLC.

“Dave has been a trusted advisor for many years, helping to define and develop the leadership and cultural models and tools necessary for LOOP to become market driven in order to survive and thrive during the North America crude oil production renaissance. Putting Dave’s Organizational Survival Code into practice, LOOP not only survived but thrived as the organization became more responsive, innovative and profitable even as its traditional crude oil import business declined significantly.”

Jeff Liker, author of The Toyota Way

“David was one of the pioneers in high-performance organizations at P&G and was one of the few who could really make it work through his leadership. He has evolved his views over the years, though stayed firmly rooted in his belief in the power of people and teamwork. I have worked with him on combining high performance work systems with lean management and have learned a great deal from him.”

High Performance Organizations of Today

Leaders today are seeking guidance on how to survive and thrive in an ever-evolving global marketplace.

Many organizations are on the endangered species list in this 21st century. This is not a personal opinion, but a statement of fact based on patterns of the past 100 years.

An organization’s demise is not a coincidence or random bit of bad luck. It is the logical consequence of practices that place it out of harmony with its stakeholders and the market environment.

High performance organizations (HPOs) today can be aligned to deliver outstanding results even in the most difficult circumstances. But it is no magic formula or series of mechanical templates that will elevate an organization’s performance. HPOs today require focus and discipline on some critical systemic actions.

The Organizational Survival Code

Globalization and economic ups and downs are testing the limits of even the most effective enterprises. More than 50 percent of the Top Global 100 companies fall off the list within 10 years. Only 29 percent of small businesses survive even 10 years. The Organizational Survival Code is comprised of capabilities that have helped organizations extend their corporate lifecycle.

Organizational Diagnosis & Design Certification

In my discussions with leadership teams, HR professionals have shared that they often feel ill-equipped to make necessary improvements to their company culture and design. They are overwhelmed by the challenges to get everyone on the same page for needed adaptation required by market changes. Therefore, I’ve put together a certification program to equip you with the tools and practical experience to identify problem areas and implement solutions.

This certification process is one of “learning by doing” with our coaching. Please read the brochure “HPO Global Alliance’s Organizational Systems Diagnosis & Design Certification” to learn more about this very unique experience. As you read it, you will appreciate how much we focus not only on the subject matter, but also on team dynamics and the application skills required to put theory into practice.

Our next available workshop will be held in October, 2019. If you would like to attend or have further questions, please contact me. I look forward to sharing these proven strategies with you and your associates!
