XCM Solutions, Inc. (a robust workflow product we use in our firm) conducted a research project last year to identify the differentiating factors between high and low performing firms.  Some of the findings are amazing and support the things THRIVEal firms have been doing all along.  We’ll check them out over the next 7 posts.  Click the image to the left to download a copy of the full report.

 

Habit #4: High Performers Understand Increased Productivity is a By-Product of Empowering People

In this habit, its all about being paperless and efficient.  Technology makes people work better and smarter, not only replace them.  Workflow systems are a part of a smart firm and empower the team in the firm to work in smarter ways.

High performing firms see their abilities to go paperless as mission critical, and urged other firms to simply “just do it.”  It is now a must for empowering the growth of your firm.

Do you see technology as a way to empower your people?

Many clients of my firm know that the topic of pricing is one of my favorite topics during coaching sessions.  I love the intricacies, the intimacies and the behavioral aspects of pricing your customers.  I love digging into the processes of a company and matching the price to what is being delivered.  In the end, my clients win (and make more money) and the customer wins (and gets more value).

Habit #3: High Performers See Technology as a Strategic Endeavor

In high performing firms, they see those in charge of technology as part of the leadership of the firm.  These firms see their technology investments as part of their strategic advantage.  According to the report (on the left), these kinds of firms are three times as likely to follow a strategic written technology plan to grow.

High performing firms don’t see technology as nuisance and a necessity, they see it as a prudent way to move their firm ahead of their competition.  Do you embrace technology and its ability to move you forward?

Habit #2: High Performers View Improvement as a Continuous Cycle

Though improvement is a common part of high performing firms, they see it as a continuous process.  They keep assessing where they are and how to change and continue improving.  They want “better” not necessarily “best.”  Do you keep wanting better?

Habit #1: High Performers Embrace Change

One difference between high performing and low performing firms is that they embrace change.  They are not only early adopters, but they find change to be a positive part of their lives.  These firms actually encourage innovation and put their team members in a place where they can truly innovate and embrace change without the fear of failure.

Failures will happen.  They are part of life.  Will they make you stronger as a firm or paralyze you with fear?
