Superperformance: New Profound Knowledge for the 21st Century Organization

The global economic downturn, the firestorm of short-term performance challenges, the whirlwind of mergers, downsizings, and structural changes, and the looming human capital crisis—these are all only a part of the proliferating complexity flooding today’s executive radar screens. Strictly mechanistic models of management and leadership only take things further in the wrong direction. New knowledge and methods are needed to overcome these  challenges.

Superperformance is a next-generation performance optimization approach that is turning conventional wisdom on its ear. It introduces a new category: Superperformer. As a group, organizational Superperformers outperform the S&P 500 by a margin of almost 5 to 1. They dominate their industries, produce a steady stream of breakthrough operating results, reach coveted levels of customer delight, and are able to continually accelerate and make responsive every aspect of their operations–over exceedingly long periods.

These  organizations share many of the same traits.

• They all prove the Superperformance Formula (PxC=SP) and harness the same natural laws.
• They all outperform their industry peers over exceedingly long periods.
• They all are led by Superperforming CEOs.

In this provocative and fast-paced seminar, participants will discover a stunningly simple yet amazingly robust way through today’s complex world of work, unveiling nothing less than a new management science, demonstrating firsthand how Superperformance emerges—for free–at the intersection of process and culture.

This exciting new approach can be applied to transform performance on any scale in any organization. Superperformance directly challenges prevailing leadership and management paradigms–and rewires many traditional assumptions about organizations and how they operate.

Over this day-long session participants will transcend obsolete management practices and operating models to recast organizations as living, complex-adaptive systems–and performance as their emergent fruit. Through a variety of practices and case studies based on public sector, commercial, and project cases, participants will investigate real life occurences of Superperformance to reveal an entirely new understanding of organizations and their hidden potential. Through an integrated system of signature practices,  this seminar pulls back the skin of a new life science to introduce a new biophysics of optimization.

The concepts taught in the session are based on the books Superperformance: New Profound Knowledge for Corporate Leaders, and The Superperforming CEO: Liberating the Promise Within, by Dave Guerra, co-founder and managing partner of business performance firm Corpus Optima, and are brought to life in this special session.
