The Center for Inspired Performance

How do you tell a story that evolves over fifty years? Like most over powering insights, ideas are tempered by trial and error.

The Center for Inspired Performance is such a story, a culmination of over a half century of consulting experience driving improvements in business performance. We have learned several powerful lessons about building successful fast-growth companies and personal legacies of leadership.

• The path to optimum growth is as difficult as walking the razor’s edge; a delicate balance between conflicting forces requiring constant adjustments while steering a plotted course. TRUING
• The performance of your business is never better than its worse performing element – the weakest link. Achieving sustainable growth requires a total systems approach for running the company; the whole must always be greater than sum of its' parts. SYSTEMS
• Business performance is constrained by its lifecycle – the right amount of energy on the right issue at the right time. What you fix, what opportunities you exploit are based on the stage of growth; all resources (money, time, energy) are scarce and must be optimized. LIFE CYCLE
• Business performance is a function of measuring to manage – integrating leading, real time, and trailing indicators; leading indicators to predict, real time indicators to decide, trailing indicators to evaluate. MEASUREMENT
• Business performance is ultimately decided at the frontline. No matter how well planned and thought out, the strategy is forgotten in the day-to-day battle for customers and profit. Once the game is afoot, the heads and hearts of the people doing the work is what matters most. INSPIRED
