Achieved Unmatched Results In This Short Video
"The most important asset as we go forward in the future will not be technology or global positioning or operational agility, it will be human capital: finding and retaining talented people will be the most valued company resource over the next 20 years...not only will companies have to devise more imaginative hiring practices they will also have to work harder to keep their best people."
- McKinsey & Company
Implement a compelling, candidate-centric interview process.
Differentiate vs interrogate and become the only logical choice.
A successful hiring process requires a systematic approach that helps you filter candidates based on their talents, values, and personality traits. By having a clear process in place, employers confidently identify top talent quickly and easily, while avoiding costly hiring mistakes. It is essential to establish a standardized approach that outlines the steps to be taken from job posting to onboarding, including detailed candidate screening, candidate-centric interview process and assessment tools.
In order for businesses to thrive and stay competitive, it is crucial they develop effective methods that sort, sift, and separate the candidates subconsciously wired for success. Consistently win the war for talent by creating an immediate, deep and meaningful connection that seems to form almost magically and instantaneously.

CREATION OF "McCAFE™" GLOBAL SUCCESS AT McDONALDS
McDonald's is the global leader in the Fast-Food industry but in 2006 their customer transactions (sales worldwide, especially Europe) were flat. McDonalds’ account for 32% of all Coke syrup sold worldwide. The facilitation of a three-day Innovation and Six Thinking Hats session with McDonalds and Coke Account Managers from Austria, Spain, Germany, Italy, and Slovakia resulted in the creation of the "McCafe."
The focus area was "How to increase customer transactions and the dollar amount of these transactions worldwide." Sessions were held in southern Spain and Vienna. The concept was a global success, offering specialized adult menu items in a contemporary setting within McDonald's stores. Sales increased significantly and almost 20 years later the “McCafe” is still wildly successful.

SUCCESSFUL PRODUCT LAUNCH OF MOTOROLA "ACCOMPLI" DEVICE
We used Six Thinking Hats for the Product Creation and Product Launch of the “Accompli,” an ultra, high-tech handheld communication device at a competitive price. Day 1 was for Product Managers to get a detailed understanding of the target market and consumer traits including: age, income, educational background, cultural beliefs and daily habits.
Day 2 was a “technology soak” including how consumers would use the device from the time they woke up to the time they went to bed. A dissection of the consumer’s day hour by hour was facilitated to ensure the “Accompli” was the ideal product for the target market. We successfully introduced the Motorola “Accompli” in North America, Europe and Asia.
