Are You Treating Only Symptoms Or The Root Cause?
When you go to the Doctor, the goal is to diagnose and treat the root cause of the illness, not the symptoms. The same is true in the world of Performance Consulting. Many times, training is the go-to solution to address a performance gap. It can be other gaps that need to be addressed such as: you don’t have the right people on the bus or in the right seat to begin with; there’s a lack of leadership, no procedures or process to follow, poor morale, etc.
You Need To Create A Holistic Treatment Plan!
For any change to stick you need to look beyond the symptom and get to the root cause of the problem.
RTB is able to ask the right questions, tough questions, uncover the root cause and recommend a multi-level solution to close the performance gap once and for all.
