Live Workshops

HPO Global Alliance workshops are designed to give participants very practical tools and insights so that they better understand, design, and lead high performance organizations. Each workshop is built on a foundation of research-based, high-performance principles. It translates the principles into realistic application through simulations, other experiential exercises, and real-world corporate examples. Participants are therefore in a position to accurately apply what they have learned to the unique situations in their organization.

The Organization Diagnosis & Design Certification Program

This is an advanced program for those desiring deep skills and tools for leading groups through the processes of organizational diagnosis and design. Graduates of this program have led change efforts in their organizations that have brought millions of dollars to the bottom line and have avoided the traumatic miscalculations that often plague large system interventions. In this program you will be active in three roles: (1) Participant, (2) Presenter, and (3) Group Facilitator. You will come away with greater confidence that the few things you choose to change in the organization will actually make a difference in results – and be sustainable.

Improving Your Organization’s Results:

a 2 day diagnosis and design workshop

“Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.” – Peter Drucker

This workshop provides you the opportunity to convert your strategy from good intentions to bottom-line results. Key elements in this conversion are organizational capabilities – things like speed of change, innovation, connection with your customers, or collaboration. Such capabilities enable you to get the results you seek. You will experience a process in which you will choose a few organizational capabilities that are essential to delivering your strategy and then designing organizational processes and systems to bring the capabilities to life.

Aligning Strategy With Organizational Capabilities

HPO Diagnosis

This diagnosis process is conducted in collaboration with our strategic partners at the HPO Center in the Netherlands. It invites you to compare your organizational capabilities with the HPOs in a global study of over 2,500 companies.

An organization begins to determine its HPO status by conducting an HPO Diagnosis where managers and employees fill in the HPO Questionnaire (available in over 15 languages), in which they indicate how well the organization performs on the 35 HPO characteristics, on a scale of 1 (very bad) to 10 (excellent).

Shaping A High Performance Culture

This workshop is intended for small teams to learn how culture directly affects their business results and to plan changes in their culture to improve those results. The program is a mixture of short presentations, video cases, and more than 50 percent of the time in your team tasks. The many case examples illustrate clearly the dynamics of culture, how it affects the bottom line, and what leaders have done successfully to change their culture for better results.

HPOs Today

A one day workshop

A one day program with Dave Hanna that integrates decades of research and experience to spell out what needs to be in place to qualify as a high performer. (The HPO research showed those at the HPO standard enjoyed double digit advantages in all financial measures vs. those who didn’t meet the standard.) This is a very interactive organizational simulation that lets you experience the dynamics of measuring an organization against the HPO validated standard, then diagnosing the whole system that produces those results, and using the latest organization design tools to plan the needed changes.

High Performance Leadership

Leading an organization on the HPO journey faces unique challenges and obstacles that require one’s commitment and skills. This workshop will help you develop a plan to fortify yourself for the journey ahead. The focal areas are personal commitment, understanding of HPO principles, and case studies of past leadership successes.

Coaching High Performance Teams

This two day workshop gives leaders and team coaches some practical frameworks and experiences to better guide teams from start up to high performance. Through video cases and actual team exercises in the session, you will become more skillful in identifying teamwork strengths and weaknesses and be able to effectively coach any team to greater effectiveness.

HPO Master Class

A two-day public program featuring André de Waal and Dave Hanna to help you master the development of your HPO. You will be introduced to the frameworks and tools that have made a difference for many others and will have the opportunity to use these tools to increase your expertise.
