Member CEOs’ organizations literally perform at a 10 X multiplier level.

To operate at a 10X multiplier level, CEO Alliance members, each quarter, get out of the day to day of working in their business (recommended with their executive team) in order to have an in-depth laser focus which addresses everything that is causing…

♦ Reactive behavior (firefighting)
♦ Limiting growth
♦ Missed opportunities
♦ Reduced margins/profits
♦ Restricted performance

These obstacles are used to propel strategic growth and innovation. Each quarter members remove their ceiling and shift the mindset that is holding their organization back.

Find out how CEOs achieve this powerful result – quarter after quarter – year after year – by attending a CEO Executive Briefing (by Sponsored invitation only). Contact us to learn more.

Some Important Facts About Building A Generative Organization

Whether you join The CEO Alliance as an individual CEO or business owner, as a member of the GOS process or for the full company experience, our goal is to build your company into a fully functioning Generative Organization. This process requires absolute clarity of focus and everyone aligned around the highest leverage points to provide clients and customers with the highest quality of service and performance.

It goes beyond traditional quality efforts, ISO 9000, etc. to work with and build a management flight simulator that results in everyone aligned and focused as a team. This system and methodology allows people to go beyond their best past performance on a daily basis. It results in the entire workforce being committed to innovation and creative thinking while keeping score on their daily performance and working in teams to accomplish their and the clients’ objectives. Fundamentally, a Generative Organization is based on the reality that every member truly wants to be a part of something bigger than themselves, where their contributions and ideas are recognized and they know they make a significant and measurable difference. When these conditions are present and the organization is aligned around leverage points, the energy is released for inspired performance.

Inspired performance results in all contributors going beyond their past best performance to achieve the highest levels of productivity, personal satisfaction and development. Focus is placed on increasing production capacity through a comprehensive, complete and consistent development process that is rooted in principles and practices that result in continuously making:

1. A shift from being a Reactive to a Generative organization.

2. Working on the design of the organization that determines how it actually performs.

3. Aligning everyone around leverage points that remove the source of upset conditions and limits to growth

4. Consciously applying your attention on the right things, for the right amount of time to achieve precisely the right movement and momentum.

5. Developing a design team and establishing Change Coalitions (Cause Teams) that focus on aligning all the resources around its highest leverage points.

6. Developing the Emotional Intelligence of its leadership and management through self- awareness, self-reflection and self-management.

The Mission

Building a Generative Organization achieves the above objectives through a constant process of assessment, design, align and execution and daily correction. It is the result of the implementation of five “mission-critical” processes that are based on foundational choices, causal principles and practices that result in achieving inspired performance and bottom line results.

Research Based and Focused on Measurable Results

The principles that are at the foundation of Building a Generative Organization are implemented by having a Center for Inspired Performance at the core of the organization. It results in overcoming organizational blindness and seeing the cause of event driven (reactive) behavior and implementing the principles that result in generative behavior. A generative organization is constantly focused on producing the highest levels of employee satisfaction, optimum rates of growth and cost effectiveness for its clients, and every individual making a personal contribution that improves measurable results every month.

Guided by Principles

When the principles of building a Generative Organization are followed, they achieve the highest level of performance from every contributor. When violated, they are the cause of upset conditions and restricted growth and the leadership of the organization focuses on whatn principles were violated and makes a design change in the actual structure of the organization that removes the source of these practices.
