methodology

How the methodology works — business through talents

01

Assessing business costs from the owner's perspective

At this stage, business profitability is assessed relative to alternative investments, including from a risk perspective. The costs of the business phase are calculated — in money and time — through the WACC indicator.

02

Assessing and identifying the strengths of active managers and employees

Management is assessed in terms of calculating manager efficiency and identifying their strengths. Once they understand the methodology, managers typically begin calculating these indicators themselves, and department heads start restructuring business processes within their units. Game theory is applied.

03

Evaluating the effect of unlocking management strengths

Based on the strength indicators of each manager and employee, the most effective teams and business processes are built.

Experience applying the methodology shows an increase in the efficiency of each manager and employee through understanding their talent by at least 50%, and of departments — by 150–200%.

For owners, business profit growth occurs by 2–3 times due to increased efficiency in human capital application and a reduction in business process time.
