The Business Fitness Program for any Organization

Overview:

The best people train their mental and physical bodies constantly; the best organizations do so as well. In congruence to personal fitness, we call this state of high performance "business fitness".

In today's reality, with an ever-growing demand for profitability and best performance, many businesses are event-driven and don't pursue excellence as a process. These organizations and their employees are constantly stressed in order to deal with the "next big event", in the forms of outside threats, challenges, unlimited customer expectations, and a demanding workforce.

What is the solution? The critical decision is training all business fitness dimensions constantly, even without an urgent issue at the horizon. This concept of business fitness is a powerful paradigm shift for many leaders and has the potential to lift the whole organization to completely new performance levels.

In this webinar, we will present and explain a fitness plan to lift your organization and to sustain high performance levels. Based on an analysis of your current fitness level and aspirations, you will be able to create a customized fitness program to move your business step-by-step to higher performance.

Some of the typical effects on your business are:

  • A more enthusiastic and committed workforce
  • Faster top- and bottom-line growth
  • A more loyal customer base
  • Higher resistance to crisis
  • Greater agility of the organization

Why should you attend: Even many well-performing organizations face substantial challenges when it comes to achieving and maintaining high performance. For leaders, business success is a sequence of peak events, rather than a constant state of "flow" in which the staff operates enthusiastically at the highest energy levels.

What many businesses lack is a high level of "business fitness" that allows them to maintain high performance levels, even when business gets rough.

As a business leader or manager in any industry, you should attend this webinar if you are dealing with one or more of these challenges:
  • Despite all efforts, your business is not achieving outstanding results
  • You have some success peaks but lack sustained high performance
  • It feels like you always have to push; as soon as you release, the overall performance goes back to an old stage
  • There is always something that is not working well
  • Too many of your staff are engaged yet not fully enthusiastic
  • You see substantial potential for better customer interactions
This webinar is a must if you have one or more of these aspirations:
  • Your business or area of responsibility performs at the highest levels, even when you don't push
  • Most of your staff feels energized and enthusiastic when working at your company
  • It seems natural that virtually all of your customers have become fans
  • Most issues and problems are solved quickly and responsibly
  • In your organization, most outside threats are addressed well before they become critical

Areas Covered in the Session:
  • The fitness challenge of most businesses, its effects, and its root causes
  • The five fitness disciplines and how to assess your business fitness level
  • A leader's mindset as the foundation for any improvement
  • The fitness plan for each of the five fitness disciplines
  • How to ignite a training mode for all employees and all leaders
  • The most critical preconditions and how to secure them
  • The typical traps when developing and executing your business fitness plan
  • Ready, steady, go! Your first five steps to get things moving

Who Will Benefit:
  • CEOs
  • Business Unit Heads
  • All individuals in any Leadership Roles
  • Change Agents
  • Operational Managers
  • Interested Employees of all levels who want to learn about the potential and techniques of a business fitness program
