Methodology
Using proven principles, OPULENCE offers a practical and powerful system to develop Champions / inspiring leaders and practically support them in growing their ability to add value along innovative, cost-effective and smart lines to unlock key opportunities for healthy & profitable organizations.
Key principles underpinning the OPULENCE system have been corroborated in a number of valuable research programmes:
The Gallup International Market Research Company conducted an extensive survey in 53 countries, with over 2 million interviews, to uncover main key factors behind prosperous organisations. Their results were highlighted in ‘The one thing you need to know about great managing, great leading and continued individual success’ by Marcus Buckingham.
At the heart of great managing, great leadership and great careers lies a controlling insight: “Discover what is unique about each person and capitalize on it.”
Jim Collins, as detailed in his book ‘Good to Great’, picked up a similar theme in his landmark research of American Fortune 500 companies when he explored key factors that allowed organisations to sustainably make the jump from ‘good’ to ‘great’ and raise their prosperity levels:
“If you’re doing something you care that much about, and you believe in its purpose deeply enough, then it is impossible to imagine not trying to make it great. It’s just a given . . .
Indeed the real question is not, ‘Why greatness?’ but ‘What work makes you feel compelled to create greatness?”
Similarly Jerry Porras in his book ‘Success built to last’, builds on this theme through a series of informative interviews with a wide range of successful individuals from various sectors (Business, Non profit, Community, Government & Scientific Institutions):
“Builders feel compelled to create something new or better that will endure throughout their lifetime and flourish well beyond . . . We learned that, for the most part, extraordinary people, teams and organisations are simply ordinary people doing extraordinary things that matter to them.”
“Enduringly successful people ‘think different’. They have a talent, yes, and perhaps some even have a genius. But they also have a Thought style that supports their special accomplishments.”
“When you can organize your thinking around creating real value, and your thoughts remain focused on what is important to creating that value despite all the incoming distractions, crisis, and complexity crashing down all around you . . .then you’re really lucky because you have a sustainable model for your work and your life.”
What is the bottom line! There are remarkable opportunities to be had at this time, but they typically require a move away from traditional thinking. Hence OPULENCE focuses on assisting individuals embrace change, understand current trends & opportunities, take responsibility for their lives, expand their ability to add value & contribute, cooperate with others to bring about innovative & smart solutions so that organizations can offer the most remarkable service and prosper. Yes the system does require hard work but it translates into a growing ability to develop loyal and capable employees who can support organizations into successfully managing these challenging times and improving prosperity levels!
