How we install

Most firms train and leave. We stay until it's installed.

Training is a room, a binder, and a good feeling that's gone by Wednesday. Installation is different. We find where performance is bending, build the right behavior into the real work, and govern it every week until it holds without us.

The arc

Three phases. One standard that holds.

  1. Diagnose - Find where it's breaking.

    A free DriftCheck, then a seven-week audit. We show you exactly where performance is bending, and which of the six steps is drifting.

  2. Install - Into the real work.

    The engine goes into live decisions and real pressure, led by our guides, not a slide deck. Behavior gets built where the work actually happens.

  3. Govern - Until it holds without us.

    We don't leave after kickoff. We reinforce it every week until it sticks on its own. (Monday Morning Implementation™).

Inside the install

Installed, not taught.

Every behavior we install runs the same four steps. That's why it's still there in 90 days.

Day 90: still there.
  1. Learn the behavior.

    One specific behavior, practiced on situations from your own company.

  2. Commit in writing.

    Each person writes what they'll do, where, and with whom.

  3. Apply it at work.

    Real decisions, real people, real pressure.

  4. Inspect it weekly.

    A short weekly check (Monday Morning Implementation™) makes sure it held. What slipped gets a recovery plan.

Every Monday. Until it holds.

Why it holds

The difference is what happens after the room empties.

Everyone can train your people. We install the behavior that actually holds. Training ends when the session does. An install is governed every week until the standard runs on your team, with you or without you.

Who does the work

Real guides, inside your company, until it holds.

Steve Lowisz learned how not to lead by following the advice everyone buys into. Then he started 6 companies, bought 3, sold 2, and installed GDD in hundreds more. He and the guides do the install from the inside, and stay until it holds.

See where your performance is bending.
