Scientific Assessment
Got an accurate & honest assessment of performance & potential for your organiaztion, or team?
Every manager has their own view of the performance of their organization, unit, or team. But is it based on fact, feeling or fiction?
Arriving at a single shared view of performance isn't easy. Not only is it time-consuming, but it can be uncomfortable and even contentious. Staying objective can also be a challenge, with personalities and politics often getting in the way.
Reconciling different perspectives presents challenges too. Unable to see outside their functions or silos managers and teams may be pulling in different directions, pursuing competing priorities and projects.
The Growth Pitstop™ overcomes these challenges to speedily deliver a single shared and accurate view of performance, as well as potential.
Performance Analytics
Has your organization got a data-driven approach to managing performance?
How performance is managed in F1™ offers inspiration for managers everywhere. Decisions on how to make the car go faster are data-driven with sensors generating performance data from every part of the car. The Growth Pitstop does the same for managers who want their organizations or teams to grow faster.
The Growth Pitstop captures performance data on the revenue generating/value creating machinery of the business, as well as on the team responsible for driving, developing and maintaining it. This information is used to help teams to win.
Measuring up to 248 growth related variables (strategy, leadership, vision, etc.) the Pitstop assessment is conducted online and takes each manager only 26 minutes. Complex algorithms then analyze the dataset (almost 6000 data points for a medium size team) and visualize it.
The PitStop doesn't just measure, it predicts performance too. It leverages extensive benchmarking data across 47 markets and 12 industries to deliver the highest level of accuracy & reliability, compensating for bias, as well as blind spots. The pitstop is one of the most sophisticated assessments available being built on the latest business and behavioral research, including 1.5 million pages of global best practice research and 4 published books.
Our Purpose
An expose of attitudes & behaviors regarding performance & growth
The PitStop probes attitudes and behaviors to understand performance, while at the same time challenging old ways of thinking and tackling blind spots. It also looks for patterns of inconsistency or misalignment between managers and across business units, departments and teams.
The PitStop engages behavioral psychology to change the way people see the opportunities and challenges facing their organization/team. Built upon a business change model it generates a powerful new dialogue around performance – one that results in new awareness, focus, mobilization and action.
The pitstiop is designed to motivate people to increased success – shaping the vision, guiding strategy and driving execution.
