XQ Innovation

We Live to Create Star Performing Employees

Many of the greatest companies have one thing in common – they all started with a clear vision for success. After all, it is important to know what you hope to accomplish, how you want to achieve your goals, and most important of all – WHY you do what you do. This is the same advice we give to many of our clients, and we practice what we preach. In order to help companies of all sizes achieve employee performance optimization, greater strategic success, increase their market share, and generally be happier places to work, it is important that we share our vision for success:

What We Do

At XQ Innovation we help organizations of all sizes turn every employee into a star performer. We view every human being in your organization as a human treasure. We unlock the science of the human mind in a way that is easy for anyone to understand. We bring unique strategies to our clients, all through the lens of innovation. Everything we do is focused around the people in your organization.

We focus on people because company strategies don’t fail in the planning stage – they fail during implementation. If you learn how to understand the deepest wants and needs of your staff, you can tailor your strategies according to the people who will be implementing them. When you do this, you truly inspire your workforce to perform at their highest level.

All of our work raises the employee engagement level at your company. Why should you care? According to Gallup studies, just having above-average employee engagement gives you double the success rate of below-average companies. If you get to the 99th-percentile of high employee engagement, you would enjoy 5 times the success rate of those in the first-percentile!

Why We Do It

We are very clear in our purpose for doing what we do. Here is the bottom line – the rate at which company strategies succeed is abysmally low. From the employee’s perspective, this creates a lack of engagement. This is the dreaded feeling of not wanting to get up in the morning to go to work. Our purpose is to serve companies by helping create strategies that succeed at a high rate, and serve employees by helping them stay engaged and excited about going to work. Here is why this such an important issue:

According to David Norton and Robert Kaplan’s book, The Strategy-Focused Organization, over 90% of corporate strategies fail! As if that weren’t alarming enough, Gallup’s recent employee engagement survey was very startling – about 70% of American employees struggle with their job, and are disengaged from their company. We are inspired every day to help resolve these ongoing and challenging issues for our clients.

How We Do It

Many people try to keep employees engaged with the best of intentions, but fail to do so at alarming rates. This is nothing to be ashamed of – it is extremely difficult to get the very best out of people. For the past 35 years, we’ve been studying the science of the human mind. Our process is one-of-a-kind, because it involves a blend of many disciplines and perspectives. Employee performance optimization must happen from the inside-out if you wish to see long-term results.

Our first step with a new program is to utilize our scientific employee assessments. In the same way a doctor will use a variety of tests to determine the correct diagnoses, we too use a blend of assessments to truly understand what the problem is. Often times, the real reason strategies have failed can be hidden or covert. Our employee assessment process leaves no stone unturned. Just like a doctor looks at each patient’s individual health, we don’t treat any two companies the same. Each client is different, and so is every single employee. Our assessment process helps us understand you at a deeper level, so the solutions we prescribe are an exact match for your company.

Just imagine how powerful it can be to know all the behaviors, motivators, and emotional intelligence of your team! We only use uplifting, positive, and inspiring programs that help bring the passion back into your workforce. True leaders know that their number one job is to make good decisions – we give you all the tools you need to make the very best choices for your company.

Once we can objectively understand your organization and all of its employees, we bring in our innovation program. The purpose of our innovative services and courses are to help you find new and unique ways to set yourself apart from competitors. As we always say, If you keep doing what you’ve been doing, you’ll keep getting what you’ve been getting. If your company is seeking change, we can help you dramatically improve the results you’ve been getting.
