| Building Capacity to Improve Results |
| Meaker & Associates helps you and your Organization to Build Capacity and Improve Results through individual and organizational coaching. Our Success Formula A (S+K) + Goals --> PBC =Improved Results 0/P |
This “Formula for Success” demonstrates how Meaker & Associates helps people and organizations to Achieve
the Results they are seeking.
Improved Results (IR)
We begin by asking what actual improved results (IR) the executives want to achieve in the organization and
how that will be tracked and measured. Everything else we do to develop the participants is specifically geared
around achieving those business goals and results. We are seldom engaged to provide training for the sake
of training. The O and P in parentheses represent both the organizational goals, as well as, personal goals.
Our approach is to create a triple win for both the organization as well as the people in it.
By asking participants to analyze their own situation and performance both personally and professionally and
then set goals in the areas that are the most meaningful to them, organizational results typically improve.
That gives the firm the financial wherewithal to improve compensation, benefits, etc. Now the participants
have the financial resources to achieve even more of their own personal goals and objectives, and that
typically increases their motivation to become even better professionally. Continuous improvement can be self-
sustaining; it becomes a way of life at the organization.
Positive Behavior Change (PBC)
PBC represents positive behavior change. In order to achieve improved results your people will need to
behave differently?
Goals
If people had goals to focus their energy on, it would make it easier to change their behavior in a way that can
be sustained?
Skills + Knowledge (S+K)
S+K represent the skills needed (the how to do something) and the knowledge needed (the where and when
to do something).
One thing that we noticed over the years is that many, many organizations have sent their people to various
training courses in soft skills areas, without seeing any noticeable improvement in bottom line results. This
caused us to ask ourselves, “What’s missing?” From our perspective, the answer to that question is the
attitudinal component.
Attitudes (A)
The A stands for attitude (the want to). Our approach, Management by Commitment, is a result-oriented
philosophy that involves first developing a goal-oriented attitude among people within the company. Attitude
is more of a multiplier of skills and knowledge that will directly influence the goals they set and achieve. They
will directly determine in many cases whether they turn a problem into an opportunity, or succumb to it;
whether they behave in ways that benefit the entire organization or maintain fiefdoms; whether they expand
the client base and services provided or allow atrophy to set in; whether they diligently look for continuous
improvement, or remain satisfied with the status quo. Since this has proved so critical to others’ success, we
wanted to go further in our exploration.
