Organizations Focused on Winning
Performance enablers are meant to realize those magical moments – those epiphanies – where we spark the learning, transformation, and sustained momentum towards peak performance.
In 80% of businesses, it is not about the development of strategy but rather the clarity in the communication of the strategy, the executive and leadership team engagement and impact, and the organization’s ability to execute with excellence. It’s a journey few are willing to engage in, or put the extra effort towards, and as a result only a few organizations have realized the performance results they often recite as their aspiration. For those that take the journey - with extreme focus – the dream become reality.
Our work is focused on three organization performance accelerators:
Pierre and PEO helped our organization improve our company performance through facilitating intense discussions and exercises with the executive team to clarify our strategy, define our key performance drivers and focus the organization's efforts towards achieving specific and substantial operational objectives. We recovered lost market share and built a stronger organization to weather the storms.

- An inspired and aligned executive team focused on a 3 year strategic roadmap;
- An executive team that has developed a go forward plan of sustainable success. They’ve identified the current and future opportunities and critical business thrusts and objectives ahead;
- A one page document called a Strategy Map – a key performance alignment enabler in keeping the executive team focused and the strategy simple, clear and easily communicable throughout the organization;
- Clarity of organizational capabilities and gaps to manage the risk of performance execution;
- An executive team with improved leadership skills; more specifically, a leadership team with the ability to continually focus on the future and execute effectively in the present day; and
- An understanding and perhaps some assurance of whether we have the right team around the executive table to deliver the results.
After proceeding through my AchieveBlue leadership assessment, it became apparent that I had a monumental task on my hands. In driving growth for our company, it was clear that our organization and people were being neglected. We were driving market share increases, but lacked the internal engagement to really take our business to the next level. I turned to PEO and engaged Mike Cooke and Owen McMannamon.The PEO team has done a fantastic job in assisting our family and executive team come together and work through various succession opportunities. During the process we were able to define the roles and responsibilities of our executives, engage and inspire them in the process, and clearly align them with our strategy and plan of execution. We’ve learned to have the difficult conversations as an executive team and the results are quickly gaining momentum! Having PEO take the journey along side us has been great!

Working with Mike Russill, the PEO team and Achieveblue proved to be extremely valuable as we got aligned to our strategies and re-inspired ourselves as an Executive Team. Mike was not only an excellent facilitator, but had the experience and insights as my Executive Advisor to guide our executive team towards our goals and objectives.
