Scaling Up logo

What Is Scaling Up?

In the Scaling Up™ methodology, Harnish and his team share practical tools and techniques for building an industry-dominating business. These approaches have been honed from over three decades of advising tens of thousands of CEOs and executives and helping them navigate the increasing complexities (and weight) that come with scaling up a venture.

How Does It Benefit Me?

To accomplish this, Scaling Up focuses on the four major decision areas every company must get right: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash. We use this methodology and toolset with all of our clients. They build and execute their One Page Strategic Plan, creating immense value across the organization, achieving goals and targets as a byproduct of the overall process.

This methodology has already been successfully used by more than 40,000 organizations around the globe — many of which scaled to $1 billion and beyond.

Franklin Covey

What Is FranklinCovey?

FranklinCovey was built upon the writings of Dr. Stephen R. Covey, specifically “The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People”. FranklinCovey offers a wide range of world class leadership assessment tools, including two we commonly use at CPSI: the Leadership Quotient Inventory (LQi) and the Trust Quotient Inventory (TQi).

How Does It Benefit Me?

These assessment tools provide the client (and coach) with a 360-degree view of their leadership skills and behaviors, plus recommendations for improvement. CPSI utilizes these assessments to best position the leader to gain acute awareness of his/her leadership growth opportunities, then deliver coaching specific to the results of the assessment.

The Predictive Index logo

What Is The Predictive Index?

The Predictive Index is a science-based methodology of job assessments, behavioral assessments, and cognitive assessments. They are data-driven, scientifically validated workforce analytics and offer action-oriented training and development, proven management tools for front line leaders, and expert consulting supported by 60+ years of success.

How Does It Benefit Me?

The results of these assessments allow leaders to understand what drives workplace behaviors, so they can ensure alignment, drive their team’s success, and achieve business objectives faster than ever thought possible. We offer this service to most of our clients, depending on their needs. The benefit they receive is immeasurable and always strongly impactful for the leader, as well as his/her teams. After completing the assessments and reviewing the results, we then coach the client to maximize the value received.

Opposite Strengths logo

What Is Opposite Strengths?

Opposite Strengths is a psychological system that applies the universal concept behind Polarity Thinking to the psychology of the individual and organizational growth. When adopted by organizations, Opposite Strengths is a common language of communication and relationships used throughout the organization.

How Does It Benefit Me?

As more and more individual employees internalize and understand the concept behind Polarity Thinking in terms of three pairs of opposite psychological strengths (Thinking/Risking, Practical/Theoretical Thinking, and Dependent/Independent Risking), the organization increasingly benefits from the teamwork, collaboration, and engagement that result.

It creates an energized culture in which turnover rates plummet, productivity increases, and the organization’s bottom line becomes healthier. We administer the 360-degree assessment, then coach the leader to learn to flex their styles in order to best match the needs of the situation and person(s) they are communicating with.

Director, Enbridge
As a member of Ken Larson's TEC group I have benefited greatly from his leadership of the group, and his guidance at an individual level. Ken has helped me identify and make exciting career changes in a comfortable yet forward thinking manner. For the TEC group, his expertise as a facilitator has allowed the group to function well in a highly effective arena for business and personal discussion and learning.
Susan Arnison
Operations and Finance Executive
Life has been so full that I have felt a desperate need to take time away and perhaps think some significant “whys and where to’s” in my life. Seeking some quiet space to determine if I am experiencing burnout, if I am on the path in life that fills my heart, and what I may be able to do to begin to take care of myself. Ronna and this beautiful place helped me find peace, space and time-away from the vortex of life. This guided experience took me to my core to find my answers and I know that I am not alone.
