Building a
High Performance
Organization
Acclaimed author of “Good to Great” Jim Collins presented convincing evidence that the most important component of building and sustaining a “high performance organization” is the ability to ‘get the right people on the bus...get the wrong people off the bus and get the right people in the right seat’. While we agree with Collins’ argument, we believe it is only the beginning. Organizations looking for long term sustainable high performance need to keep measuring and developing the individuals and teams on consistent basis.
We believe that in the highly competitive business environment it is crucial to develop a sense of ‘team’ that fosters trust, respect, communication, and camaraderie. These are the key building blocks to a highly productive culture that enable the company’s most important asset, its people, to perform at their full potential and effectiveness – long term. To accomplish this, we focus on four key areas of expertise: Search and Hiring Simulations, Behavioural Assessment, Job Position Profiling, and Executive and Team Coaching.
The issues we help you manage include:
- High turnover in certain positions
- Succession and strategic planning
- Developing shared leadership
- Defining roles and responsibilities
- Difficulty attracting, retaining and promoting the ‘right’ people
- Teams and/or individuals not achieving their potential
- Identifying future leaders
- Defining roles and responsibilities
Hiring Simulation Assessment
Search and Hiring Simulation™ - Organizations today want value when partnering with a search firm. Mindworks Consulting delivers this value by not only Searching for and qualifying candidates, but then stepping over the line and implementing our proprietary Hiring Simulation™ process, which allows companies to move beyond the interview and to literally experience each candidate performing key performance factors of the position. Clients have described this hiring process as “Test Driving” the candidates before they hire them. This Hiring Simulation™ process can be used either in conjunction with a full Search process, or as a stand alone service if the client already has a short list of qualified candidates.

Behavioral / Behavioural Assessment and Job Position Profiling
Our assessment tools provide insightful and new understanding of people, the kind of work they will be motivated to do, and their potential for increased productivity and responsibility. It helps organizations make sound and smart decisions about people - converging their best interests with the organization’s needs.
Organizational Performance Pro.file (OPP)
OPP is a validated instrument designed to measure the seven most important career and work-related characteristics in adults. Individuals can complete an OPP Survey© in approximately 15 minutes on-line. A sophisticated software analysis provides graphical and text reports describing an employee’s or applicant’s Traits and Adjusted Job Behaviors.
Job Performance Pro.file (JPP)
One of the most difficult challenges in recruitment and promotion initiatives is clearly and specifically clarifying and agreeing on the behaviors necessary for high performance in any position. JPP is a Questionnaire designed to help organizations accurately define the most effective behaviors necessary for high performance based on their job descriptions and organization culture. It enables managers and human resource professionals to create job behavioral models that can be compared to individual’s profiles for: screening, recruitment, promotion, career development, coaching, and succession planning initiatives.
Executive Coaching
Our Executive Coaching model is powerful and effective. It first explores the individual’s natural performance orientation and compares that to the behaviours required with role they are currently in. We analyze potential barriers to performance and deploy a proprietary 360 Degree Assessment Process to create a customized coaching plan to improve performance, at any level of the organization. As credentialed members of International Coach Federation we subscribe to their definition of coaching: “Professional coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.”
Team Coaching
One of the most powerful predictors of sustainable high performance is how an organization creates and develops the sense of teaming. The Team Diagnostic AssessmentTM Process is a powerful assessment tool and coaching methodology that provides insight into the current performance of a team with respect to productivity and positivity. It maps out 14 core dimensions of the team and provides a road map to create sustainable high performance.
